  • Noticed that after evaluations blog posts are not as detailed unsure if this is different than reality

  • GSoC sent or will send first payment to organization

  • Got 3 new students and got them up to date. This week will be starting and hope to start sprint tomorrow

  • Most tickets remaining are awaiting developers

  • June 2018 release date (likely will be July or August) - need to get out in July

  • Can see where things stand on the Detailed Technical Roadmap

  • Volunteer working on tickets and Daniel trying to help in spare time

  • Suggest OpenMRS hour once a week to walk people through tickets - revive University calls or make them earlier in the day?

  • Stephen will post to Talk to see if open office hours would be useful to people - check back in a couple weeks

  • Error rendering macro 'jira' : Unable to locate Jira server for this macro. It may be due to Application Link configuration.
    is this a priority? Daniel and Wyclif agree to take on some of the tickets and will evaluate progress on the next PM call.

AOB

 

Last week todos

  • Consider a "bootcamp" to get more people up to speed with infrastructure management (e.g., terraform)

  • Leverage new CM and PM to help early on in identifying infrastructure support gaps and getting them filled

  • New Hire Updates

    • CM - conducted interviews, post on Talk to listen to interviews, will be asking the community of factors that they feel are important in a CM. Want to make a decision by end of the week.

    • PM - selection has been made, discussions happening around salary and start date. Announcement should be coming in the next week or so.

  • Christine (end of Sept) - coordinating Summit and helping with some other items as needed

  • Funding opportunities?

    • Security proposal that is written and got some feedback, believe it was due last week. (Core Infrastructure Fund)

    • Roll over proposal from Global Goods and OpenMRS is in second round. 

    • Dial proposal - Terry was out and is unsure of the status

    • People would like to see funding opportunities in a spreadsheet

Next week
