Agenda

• Progress on the new Trac site.

• Set a date for the logic-a-thon.

Minutes

• Hamish asked Brian his opinion on how many people it takes to support OpenMRS on one site.

  • Does it require a Java programmer on site for every OpenMRS instance?

  • Goal is that a stable release will work properly and would not require a programmer to fix.

  • Consensus is that it is entirely possible to run OpenMRS without a programmer, but it requires a technical person.

    • This person could support several sites.

    • Requires knowledge of Apache Tomcat and be able to run MySQL scripts.

    • Infopath

      • MDR-TB will have direct physician entry whereas the rest of PIH implementations use forms.

      • AMRS in Kenya uses forms to enter encounters.

    • Easier to manage one central site as in Eldoret, Kenya than to manage several separate sites such as in Rwanda.

    • Requires programmers on site to roll out new features such as Sync branch.

• Justin gave update on future dev.openmrs.org site.

  • Need an environment (host) that can be easily/quickly reached for support.

  • "Hitting a wall" with svn authentication.

  • The potential dev.openmrs.org host doesn't provide a 'home' directory, which is useful if not necessary.

  • Goal:

    • Subversion up and working via http within the next 48 hours or one week.

    • Justin will start e-mail conversation and copy Burke on it.

• Waiting to contact Darius (currently in Cambodia) in order to set date for logic-a-thon.

  • Burke will send out a half-made e-mail about logic-a-thon.

  • Will need to take place in Indianapolis.

  • Maybe the day after AMIA Symposium?

• OpenMRS 1.3.2 release

  • Couple more changes.

  • Should happen next week.

  • concept-name branch to be merged this week to trunk.
