OpenMRS 2.2 retrospective
What did you expect to happen?
I expected it to be released in March (at the very very end of March)
I thought it would have the items listed on the road map: http://om.rs/roadmap
Contain contributions from a ton of people
Run on Platform 1.11.0
This is a BIG deal, because 1.11 contains 18+ months of community contributions
Expected (more) hoopla (e.g., cake) at the release
I Expected lot of implementer interest
I expected someone else (i.e. not me, Darius) to do most of the work
What actually happened?
Did not release in March (released on 23 April)
We had contributions from a large number of people
Maurya seemed to be bearing a lot of the weight.
There were times when people jumped in to help, but at times it seemed like he was flying solo
423 downloads so far
It contained items from the road map
The release got delayed because we found a lot of bugs late in the game
The formal testing process was awesome!
1.11.2 got included
Two platform releases within a week or so of each other just before the OpenMRS 2.2 release
1.11.x impact was not assessed earlier
A dedicated chunk of time had to be set aside for testing and finding bugs (with help from the community)
A lot of work went into it
Improved documentation for release process, fixing many gaps and adding missing items in the process documentation
