• 6/27 ref app released

• AAR: when assigning someone to oversee process would be nice to have project manager, mentors nice but not always available so a PM would be good to move things faster

• In week or two start discussion on 2.9

OpenMRS Platform 2.2

@Samuel Male and @Irene Nyakate

• 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.

  • People would like to see funding opportunities in a spreadsheet
