[edx-code] OEP announcements will now be going to https://discuss.openedx.org

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi,

I've just updated OEP-0001
, the
process for writing Open edX Proposals.  Authors used to send announcements
of new OEPs and their reviews to this mailing list.  Now the announcements
will be made as posts in the Announcements - Architecture category
 on Discourse.

If you want to continue to receive these announcements as emails, you can
create a Discourse account and sign up for email notifications with these
instructions:
https://discuss.openedx.org/t/how-to-get-emails-for-announcements/365

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Announcements will soon be going to https://discuss.openedx.org

[Ned Batchelder]

Hey all,

As you may have heard, we have a Discourse forum set up at
https://discuss.openedx.org .  Our plan is to close these mailing lists,
and use that forum instead.

Announcements that used to come to this list will be posted in Discourse
instead.  Soon we'll be posting messages in this list about specific types
of announcements, and where you'll be able to find them in Discourse.

If you have opinions about this switch, I've started a topic for your
feedback: Discourse replacing email announcements: opinions?

If
you are so opposed to Discourse that you can't discuss it there, you can
also reply here :)

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Join the new Open edX Discourse forum!

[Ned Batchelder]

Our forum is live at https://discuss.openedx.org.  Soon we will be retiring
this mailing list and using Discourse instead.  The forum will be a better
place for long-form discussions, so we're really looking forward to people
moving over there.

Please introduce yourself in the Introductions category:
https://discuss.openedx.org/c/community/introductions .  Tell us what you
do, what you are doing, and what you plan to do!  Where is your site? What
makes it unusual?  Brag! :)

See you in the forum,

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] How to host selective MooC courses on your own Edx Instance that are currently offered by Edx Site

[Ned Batchelder]

The course on edX are not open-source. They are owned by the institutions
that authored them.  You would have to work out an arrangement with them,
but as far as I know, they do not allow other sites to run their courses.
Maybe I am wrong about that.

Coursera courses are a completely different technology. In addition to the
intellectual property concerns, technically I don't know if there is a way
to move a Coursera course to an Open edX site.

Re: [edx-code] Problem install OpenEDX in Ubuntu 16.04

[Ned Batchelder]

You didn't say what version you were installing.  Using
open-release/ironwood.master should work, there was a fix merged on July 2
for this problem.

[edx-code] Ironwood.2

[Ned Batchelder]

Hey all,

Ironwood has been out for a few months now.  In that time, we've made some
fixes to the ironwood.master branch.  Today we've tagged a new Ironwood
release, *open-release/ironwood.2*

If you are running Ironwood, we recommend updating.

If you are not running Ironwood, we recommend running Ironwood :)

The changes since ironwood.1 include:

   - Reverting and feature-flagging of "honor code not eligible for
   certificate"
   - A handful of security fixes
   - Small changes to bring the default installation into compliance with
   edX trademark policy

More details of the commit are below.

Hey everyone,

I am pleased to announce that Ironwood, the latest release of the Open edX
software, is here.  The release notes (
https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-release-notes/en/latest/ironwood.html)
detail the features and changes in this release.

As usual, if you need help with Ironwood (or any Open edX release), the
openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops channel in Slack, are the best places
to get help: http://open.edx.org/getting-help

Thanks,

[edx-code] Ironwood.1 RC4

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi there,

The last release candidate of Ironwood is available:
*open-release/ironwood.1rc4*. Ironwood is the next release of Open edX, and
it's important that everyone test it.  I don't know of any changes that
need to be made before Ironwood.1 is officially done.

This release candidate adds a feature flag to turn off using the LMS as the
Studio login provider, if that was an issue for you.  Thanks to Felipe
Montoya of eduNEXT for contributing it.

To install it on an Ubuntu 16.04 system, see the Native installation
instructions
,
and use OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/ironwood.1rc4 .  These instructions
have changed since Hawthorn, and even since the first release candidate of
Ironwood, so please try them.  This is a test of the instructions and the
code!

If you find a problem, or have a question, you can discuss it in the
#ironwood-beta channel in Slack  or report
it in JIRA
.
If you try Ironwood, and don't have any problems, it's really helpful to
report that too :)

Thanks, your feedback is really important.

Yup, the Ironwood Docker images are on Dockerhub now.

[edx-code] Ironwood.1 RC2

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi there,

The next release candidate of Ironwood is available:
*open-release/ironwood.1rc2*. Ironwood is the next release of Open edX, and
it's important that everyone test it.

To install it on an Ubuntu 16.04 system, see the Native installation
instructions
,
and use OPENEDX_RELEASE=open-release/ironwood.1rc2 .  These instructions
have changed since Hawthorn, and even since the first release candidate of
Ironwood, so please try them.  This is a test of the instructions and the
code!

If you find a problem, or have a question, you can discuss it in the
#ironwood-beta channel in Slack  or report
it in JIRA
.
If you try Ironwood, and don't have any problems, it's really helpful to
report that too :)

Thanks, your feedback is really important.

--Ned.

Clarence, I'll get in touch off-list since this only affects edx.org sites.

Jithin,

It looks like you have run this installation before.  Does it always fail
at the same spot?  For some reason it can't clone the analytics api git
repo.

[edx-code] Announcing Ironwood release candidate: Ironwood.1rc1 We need your help!

[Ned Batchelder]

Hey everyone,

I'm pleased to announce that we have a first release candidate for the next
Open edX release: Ironwood.1rc1.  To install it, use the tag
open-release/ironwood.1rc1

Things to know:

   - We don't yet have release notes for Ironwood.  We are in the process
   of pulling those together.
   - If you discover issues during your testing, please let us know.  There
   are a few ways you can provide feedback:
   - We have an #ironwood-beta Slack channel
  .
  - You can add notes to the Ironwood wiki page
  
  .
  - You can respond to this thread.
   - Note that the installation instructions
   

   have changed slightly. The password generation step is now required.

Our goal is to release Ironwood in two weeks.  In order to do that, I need
to hear back from you about how testing is going.  Even if everything is
fine (especially if everything is fine?), pop into the Slack channel and
tell us that.  It helps us decide how to move forward.

Thanks, I'm looking forward to hearing from you.

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] Re: Ironwood is coming!

[Ned Batchelder]

Oh, and one other thing:  Why not tag the apps, and then let people decide
for themselves if they want to use a tagged open-edx release, or if they
want to use master?

Re: [edx-code] Re: Ironwood is coming!

[Ned Batchelder]

J'aime, thanks for your perspective.  I'm still trying to understand: does
the master of the mobile apps work against Hawthorn?  You say they work
against Ginkgo, so how could they be broken against Hawthorn?  You
mentioned cherry-picking, is that picking changes to the mobile app, or to
the server?

Mahyar,

You can install hawthorn.master.  It has only a few commits beyond
hawthorn.2.

[edx-code] Ironwood is coming!

[Ned Batchelder]

Hey everyone,

The next release of the Open edX software is "Ironwood."  We are getting
ready to start the release process.  The first step is creating the
open-release/ironwood.master branches in the appropriate repos.  I plan to
do this on Friday, January 18th.

Anything merged by that date will be part of Ironwood; anything merged
after that date will have to wait for the next release.

A week or two after the branches are created, we will have a beta for
everyone to test.  Then after a few weeks of community testing, Ironwood
will be officially released.

If you have any questions or concerns, respond to this thread, or send an
email to o...@edx.org.

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Hawthorn.1 is here!

[Ned Batchelder]

Open edX People,

Hawthorn.1 is the first release on the "H" line of Open edX releases, and
it is available now.

The docs have been updated , including Hawthorn
release notes
.
Installation on Ubuntu is the same as with previous releases. Devstack is
now based on Docker rather than Virtualbox. Start here to understand your
options .

Thanks to all who helped test the Hawthorn beta and release candidates. It
went very smoothly, and your feedback was invaluable.  I'm sorry that we
had a year-long gap between Ginkgo and Hawthorn.  We're aiming to get the
next release (Ironwood!) out in less time.

As usual, if you need help with Hawthorn (or any Open edX release), the
openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops channel in Slack, are the best places
to get help: http://open.edx.org/getting-help

Thanks,

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] Re: course structure api removal from master (replaced by courses API)

[Ned Batchelder]

The API docs were getting out of date because the complexity of building
them from the edx-platform repo meant that they wouldn't build successfully
any more.  Perhaps too aggressively, we removed the ReadTheDocs projects
rather than serve incorrect information.   We're looking for a way to
restore them.

 Hi Open edXers:

 The Course Structure API Version 0
 
 has been deprecated for some time now and will be removed from the
 edx-platform  codebase on the
 master branch and will not affect any Eucalyptus release, even future
 ones.  Ficus will be the first Open edX release without the Course
 Structure API.  The grading policy endpoint will remain for the time being
 and the tentative plan is for it to be incorporated into the grades api
 
 (V0 and still under development).

 Specifically, the following endpoints will be removed:


-

api/course_structure/v0/course_structures/{course_id}/
-

api/course_structure/v0/courses/{course_id}
-

api/course_structure/v0/courses/


 The grading policy endpoint will remain for the time being, although
 still deprecated:


-

/api/course_structure/v0//grading_policies/


 They can be replaced with similar endpoints on the Courses API V1
 .
 As far as we know, edX Insights
  was the only consumer
 of the deprecated endpoints and has been cut over to the courses API
 .

 We expect to have the course structure API removed the week of October
 4th, 2016.  If you’re impacted by this or need any help with the courses
 API, please let us know!

 Thanks,

 Dennis

[edx-code] Hawthorn update

[Ned Batchelder]

Hey everyone,

I know people have been wondering what's happening with Hawthorn, the next
Open edX release.  We had been waiting on the upgrade from Django 1.8 to
Django 1.11.  That is now done!

But the new European Union law General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is
set to take effect on May 25th.  We are working hard on adding
underpinnings for that support, and would like to provide them in Hawthorn.

So the current plan is:

   - We'll create a Hawthorn.1 Beta 1 next week, from master.
   - Once enough GDPR support has landed, we will create the Hawthorn
   master branches from master, and release a first Hawthorn.1 release
   candidate.

This means that features can shift or be added between Beta 1 and RC 1.  The
Beta will be for testing the general upgrade paths and functionality of the
code that has been written since Ginkgo was cut 9 months ago.  I want to
get that code into testers hands sooner rather than later, even if it means
that there could still be significant changes in Hawthorn.

I hope this makes sense to people.  Of course feel free to raise concerns.

Thanks,

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] Re: how to update Open edX version keeping the changes ???

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi,

First, know that there are only very small changes between Ginkgo.1 and
Ginkgo.2, so you probably will not have a problem.

How to do this depends a lot on how you made changes.  If you edited the
Open edX source files directly, then you will have to carefully extract
those changes as patches, and then try to re-apply the changes to the
updated server.  I don't have specific instructions on how to do that.  If
you come up with a procedure, please share it, since this question is on
other people's minds.

[edx-code] Just a little bit about Hawthorn

[Ned Batchelder]

The next Open edX release will be called Hawthorn.  We don't have firm
dates, but we expect to be able to create the master branches the week
after next.  Typically, finishing up the release take six weeks from that
point.

I won't try to list the features coming in Hawthorn (see previous product
announcements  for that), but there are
a few new things in Hawthorn that might affect the release process.  First,
we will not be supporting Vagrant any more.  Devstack will be based on
Docker.  Second, we will be examining release automation possibilities this
time around, and may do some discovery work related to that.

If you have concerns about what is in Hawthorn, or pull requests in flight
that should land before Hawthorn, see the Hawthorn wiki page
.

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Fwd: Django 1.11 Unit Tests on Jenkins

[Ned Batchelder]

This is a change we have made to the continuous integration servers running
on the edx/edx-platform repo.  If you are making pull requests, you will
see new tests being run against your changes.  Just a friendly heads-up.

This is in preparation for cutting over to Django 1.11 from Django 1.8,
which is itself a pre-requisite for creating the Hawthorn release of Open
edX.

Subject: Django 1.11 Unit Tests on Jenkins
To: "Engineering - All (Employees, Contractors)" 


Hi all,

*TL;DR* - As of today we are running a new job (
*edx-platform-django-upgrade-unittests-pr*) on all pull requests, which
runs the Python Unit Tests using Django 1.11.

As part of the work to upgrade the platform to Django 1.11, the platform
team has recently finished some work which enables running the Python Unit
Tests against both Django 1.8 (the current version we are using) and 1.11.
Today, we have turned on a new job on Build Jenkins (
https://build.testeng.edx.org/) that will run these tests.

The new job:

   - Is entitled '*edx-platform-django-upgrade-unittests-pr'*
   - Will report back to Github with the context '
   *jenkins/django-upgrade/python*'
   - Will be run on every pull request
   - Can be retriggered with the Github comment '*jenkins run django
   upgrade python*'

We will be running both the 1.8 and 1.11 unit tests in parallel until the
Django upgrade is complete. Python is the first context we will be running
in parallel. Soon we will be doing the same for Lettuce and Bok Choy.

All tests in the master branch are currently passing on Django 1.11. If you
run into issues on your pull request branch:

   - Rebase your branch on master if you haven't already
   - Troubleshoot and fix tests locally on devstack by prepending 'tox -e
   py27-django111 -- '  to your testing command (i.e. paver/pytest). For
   example:

tox -e py27-django111 -- paver test_system -s lms



Thanks

Re: [edx-code] New version of open edX

[Ned Batchelder]

The Hawthorn release is waiting for the upgrade from Django 1.8 to Django
1.11 to finish.  That looks like it will be done in the next few weeks.
Then we will start the packaging process for Hawthorn.  In the past,
finished releases have been ready about 4-6 weeks after the process starts.

We should have an update soon with more concrete plans.

Hey all,

[edx-code] The future of Fullstack...?

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi all,

As you may or may not know, until now we have had three supported
installation styles for our Open edX releases:

   1. Devstack, a Vagrant-based installation for developers modifying code.
   2. Fullstack, a Vagrant-based installation similar to a production
   install.
   3. Native, an Ansible installation for use on Ubuntu machines such as
   AWS.

We are looking ahead to our next release, Hawthorn, and plotting how these
installations will change.

Devstack will be based on Docker rather than Vagrant.  EdX is using a
Docker-based devstack internally now, and we'll be ready to roll it out to
the community in Hawthorn.

Native will remain as it is.

The question now is, what should happen to Fullstack?  We won't be ready to
support a Docker-based fullstack in the Hawthorn time frame.  Does
Fullstack provide enough extra value over Native to warrant the time to
produce it?  My inclination now is to simply drop Fullstack, and for people
to use the Native installation in a Vagrant image themselves if they want
that style of installation.

Do others see the landscape differently?

[Ned Batchelder]

Stanford has made a number of changes to the edx-certificates code. We'd
like to merge those changes, but we'd also like to get other opinions.

If you use the certificates code, can you take a look at this pull request?

[edx-code] Joel Barciauskas

[Ned Batchelder]

We’re sad to announce that Joel Barciauskas, Open Source Engineering
Manager, will be leaving edX on August 29th.

As the manager of the Open edX team, Joel has championed many
community-centered initiatives and improvements here within edX.  Joel
organized the last two Open edX conferences: 2016 at Stanford in Palo Alto,
California, and 2017 at Universidad Carlos III in Madrid, Spain. His energy
and enthusiasm for the Open edX mission has been a huge asset, and we are
going to miss him.

We are actively looking for someone who will continue Joel’s work, focusing
exclusively on making the diverse and ever-growing Open edX community
better.

EdX remains fully committed to open source, to the Open edX platform, and
to the community that has grown up around it.  Our mission is to make
quality education available to everyone everywhere.  The Open edX community
is a key part of fulfilling that mission.

If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch.

--Ned.

[edx-code] Ginko.1 is here!

[Ned Batchelder]

Open edX People,

Ginko.1 is the first release on the "G" line of Open edX releases, and it
is available now.

The docs have been updated , including Ginkgo
release notes
.
Installation is the same as with previous releases. Start here to
understand your options .

We have a new section in the Installation guide that details how to migrate
existing data from a Ficus.4 installation to a Ginkgo installation.

Thanks to all who helped test the Ginkgo release candidate. It went very
smoothly, and your feedback was invaluable.

As usual, if you need help with Ginkgo (or any Open edX release), the
openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops channel in Slack, are the best places
to get help: http://open.edx.org/getting-help

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Ficus.4

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi Open edX Operators,

Today we released an update to the Ficus line of the Open edX software.
There are two reasons for this:

1) A security fix was made to prevent header poisoning of password reset
emails.
2) Some database migrations were applied that will ease the transition to
Ginkgo.

Anyone running Ficus should upgrade to Ficus.4.

Ginkgo will be available very soon.  In the meantime, enjoy Ficus.4

If you have questions, Slack or the openedx-ops mailing list (
https://open.edx.org/getting-help) are the best venues.

Re: [edx-code] Docker Devstack Beta

[Ned Batchelder]

I am really excited to see the Docker Devstack work progressing.  I'll just
clarify: Docker Devstack is meant for developers working against the latest
code on master of edx-platform and other repos.  Ginkgo will *not* have
Docker support: it will ship with a Vagrant-based devstack just as the
previous releases have.

Our plan is that Docker Devstack will be supported in Hawthorn. We'll
evaluate whether to support both Docker and Vagrant for devstack in that
release.  Also unknown is whether there will be a Docker fullstack, and
what will happen to the Vagrant-based fullstack.

Thanks for listening, and happy hacking,

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] How to get xBlock deployed to edx.org? And how to do this fairly quickly to allow for development

[Ned Batchelder]

You did the right thing by working through your partner support rep.  I'm
not sure what kind of turn-around time they aim for.

[edx-code] Ficus.3: MathJax fix

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi Open edXers,

Today we released Ficus.3, the third release of the Ficus release line of
Open edX.  This release has an important fix for MathJax, and a few minor
fixes, detailed in the release notes:
*http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-release-notes/en/latest/ficus.html#april-2017-ficus-3
:*

   - MathJax announced  that
   its distribution point for the MathJax library will be shutting down at the
   end of April. MathJax is now loaded from cdnjs instead.
   - In edx-platform, Django was upgraded from 1.8.17 to 1.8.18.
   - The Analytics applications, including the analytics devstack, have
   been updated for Ubuntu 16.04.
   - To address a connection pooling issue in Ubuntu 16.04, we’ve changed
   how we launch new gunicorn web server processes.

*If you are using MathJax in your courses, you need to install Ficus.3
before the end of April.*

If you have questions, Slack or the openedx-ops mailing list (
https://open.edx.org/getting-help) are the best venues.

Thanks,

--Ned.

Yes, XBlocks are just typical Python packages, installed in the usual

Re: [edx-code] adding python packages to edx conda

[Ned Batchelder]

It's not that Open edX support conda requirements files.  When you write
your XBlock, you will have a setup.py, and you can put whatever Python
packages you want in the install_requires value there.  But that is only
for Python packages.  There isn't a mechanism that will automatically
install ffmpeg for you when you install your XBlock.  You'll need to put
instructions in the README file, and installers will have to install it
somehow.

Re: [edx-code] using Linux executables from xBlock

[Ned Batchelder]

Robert,

You can use any Python you like in your XBlock. You have to be careful not
to depend on something that might not be present, or might change.

I'm curious about using an audio processing toolkit from an XBlock. What
are you envisioning?

[edx-code] Minor release: Ficus.2

[Ned Batchelder]

Hi Open edXers,

Today we released Ficus.2, the second release of the Ficus release line of
Open edX.  This release has only a few minor fixes, detailed in the release
notes:
http://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/open-edx-release-notes/en/latest/ficus.html#march-2017-ficus-2
:

   - If you used the password randomization step during installation, a
   database user named “edxapp_replica001” is created. This username is
   invalid because it is too long. This issue is now fixed: the randomization
   step no longer creates a separate user for the replica database.
   - The certificates process was restarting constantly, due to not being
   able to communicate with XQueue. This issue has been fixed.
   - The help links in LMS and Studio now display the Ficus version of the
   docs, rather than the latest version.

If you have already installed Ficus.1, you probably don't need to install
Ficus.2.

If you have questions, Slack or the openedx-ops mailing list (
https://open.edx.org/getting-help) are the best venues.

Thanks,

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] How to identify the Open Edx version (without any server access)

[Ned Batchelder]

Yves, there isn't a simple marker, because everyone can customize the
source, so many sites will not be exactly one of the Open edX releases.  If
you look on Transifex, you can see resources specific to the recent Open
edX releases: https://www.transifex.com/open-edx/open-edx-releases/content/

Re: [edx-code] Does anyone know how to access edx BerkeleyX's Stat2 course as its showing Enrollment is closed.

[Ned Batchelder]

You'll need to contact the support people for the site.  This mailing list
is for people running their own Open edX instances.

I see! That page was last edited 3.5 years ago (David Baumgold edited this

[edx-code] Ficus.1 is here!

[Ned Batchelder]

Everyone, I am very pleased to announce the availability of the first
official Ficus release: Ficus.1

Ficus is the first Open edX release to run on Ubuntu 16.04.  Installation
options are here:
https://openedx.atlassian.net/wiki/display/OpenOPS/Open+edX+Installation+Options.
Because of the switch from Ubuntu 12.04 to 16.04, there is no update
procedure from Eucalyptus. You must install a new machine with Ficus.

For early adopters: Ficus.1 is the same as Ficus.1rc4.

The docs and release notes are not yet updated, we'll be doing that next.

Big thanks to everyone for their patience and feedback during the RC phase.
Your accurate reporting of your experiences helped make this a solid
release.

As usual, if you need help with Ficus (or any Open edX release), the
openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops channel in Slack, are the best places
to get help: http://open.edx.org/getting-help

Thanks,

--Ned.

[edx-code] Ficus 1 RC4

[Ned Batchelder]

Everyone,

The next Ficus test release is available: open-release/ficus.1rc4 . This
may become the true Ficus release, depending on what reports we get from
the community in the next few days.  Please try this on *test systems* and
let us know what you find.

Ficus is the first Open edX release that runs on Ubuntu 16.04.  Eucalyptus
runs on 12.04, which Ubuntu will stop supporting this April.  Running Ficus
will be important to stay current with operating system updates.

Some release notes:

   - This is the Ficus code. There will be fixes applied, but typical
   development will not affect Ficus from this point on.
   - There is no upgrade script from Eucalyptus to Ficus, and there will
   not be one.  Eucalyptus runs on Ubuntu 12.04, Ficus on 16.04.  The major
   operating system bump means that automatic upgrading is not possible.
   - Docs have not been updated yet.

If you need help with Ficus.1rc4, the openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops
channel in Slack, are the best places to get help: http://open.edx.org/gett
ing-help

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] CMS and LMS

Currently, that is how courses created in Studio are served by the LMS.  A

[edx-code] Ficus 1 RC3

[Ned Batchelder]

Everyone,

The next Ficus test release is available: open-release/ficus.1rc3 .  (If
you have been following closely, you will note that we skipped rc2).

This is *not for production*!  This release is based on the edx.org code of
January 10th, which will be the basis for Ficus.

Some release notes:

   - This is the Ficus code. There will be fixes applied, but typical
   development will not affect Ficus from this point on.
   - This version now has a Fullstack installation, which installs the same
   code and services as Native, but in a Vagrant box.
   - The Native instructions now include a step to randomize passwords.
   - There is no upgrade script from Eucalyptus to Ficus, and there will
   not be one.  Eucalyptus runs on Ubuntu 12.04, Ficus on 16.04.  The major
   operating system bump means that automatic upgrading is not possible.
   - Docs have not been updated yet.

If you need help with Ficus.1rc3, the openedx-ops mailing list, or the #ops
channel in Slack, are the best places to get help: http://open.edx.org/

Re: [edx-code] Open Edx installation on Window 10

[Ned Batchelder]

Open edX is only supported on Ubuntu.  You can install on Windows using
Virtualbox (or other virtualization).  In the past, devstack has not worked
because Virtualbox shared filesystems didn't support symlinks properly.  A
native install in Virtualbox might work?

Re: [edx-code] Re: sudo su edxapp not working

[Ned Batchelder]

Please double-check that you are dealing with a devstack installation.  You
shouldn't have to override the shell if the installation was successful.
If your devstack doesn't let you change the user, then check the
installation logs to find out what failed.

If you have a fullstack installation, then your shells will be set to
/bin/false, since you shouldn't need shell access as those other users.

Re: [edx-code] Re: Using edx Devstack edxapp does not work

If "sudo su edxapp" doesn't switch the user on a devstack, then the

[edx-code] Open edX release: Eucalyptus.2

[Ned Batchelder]

Fellow Open edXers:

We've released a few bug fixes for Eucalyptus, as Eucalyptus.2.  The tag
name is *open-release/eucalyptus.2*, usable with the usual installation
methods.

A summary of the fixes are below.  If you need help at any point, see
the Getting
Help  page for ways to ask.

Thanks,

--Ned.

   - Fixed a problem with django-debug-toolbar raising an exception:
   “process() takes exactly 3 arguments (2 given).”
   - Fixed poor discussion forum performance. (TNL-5173
   )
   - Fixed a problem preventing adding a comment to responses on inline
   discussions. (TNL-5389 )
   - Fixed links to vertical blocks. (TNL-5003
   )
   - The install_stack.sh file now creates directories differently.

[edx-code] Eucalyptus is here!

[Ned Batchelder]

Fellow Open edXers:

I'm pleased to announce that the fifth Open edX release is now available:
Eucalyptus.1 is the first release on the Eucalyptus line.

The blog post 
summarizes the new features.  The install instructions

will get you started on new installations, the upgrade instructions

will help you upgrade your existing Dogwood installations.

If you need help at any point, see the Getting Help
 page for ways to ask.

We're proud of all the work that went into producing Eucalyptus, we hope
you get good use from it!  Many thanks to all in the community who
contributed, whether it was code, documentation, or testing.

--Ned.

Re: [edx-code] Re: Commercial Offering using OpenEDX

[Ned Batchelder]

Wenting,

You are correct: there are no restrictions on your business model: you can
run an Open edX instance, and charge users however you like.
