Owned by Michael Downey
As of 28-April-2017, the decade-long tradition of weekly Developer Forums has come to an end. The increased use of OpenMRS Talk and the emergence of project-specific squads has reduced the need for weekly phone calls for developers. Please see our OpenMRS Calendar, weekly What's Happening post on Talk, or squad/team pages for more information on squad/team meetings.
Why
We have this weekly forum to provide an hour of high-bandwidth communication amongst people involved or interested in OpenMRS development. While we regularly communicate in IRC and on OpenMRS Talk, this forum provides a space for general discussions relevant to OpenMRS Development.
When
Thursday (excluding holidays) from 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM US/Eastern (changing with daylight saving time). Not in the US/Eastern timezone? Convert US Eastern Time to your local time zone.
Who
Anyone working on OpenMRS development that is interested in discussing technical aspects around OpenMRS – whether you have a topic to discuss or just want to listen in. If you are doing any development on OpenMRS, this is your forum.
Be prepared
Please be respectful of other attendees' time. If you are scheduled to present, please make sure you test your system's settings ahead of time and ensure you can share you screen. It is open at all times during the week for testing purposes.
