Agenda/Notes

Last Week Review

• Demo on OpenSRP

• No TODOs

Update on Dev Stages v.1.0 beta

• Dev Stages: https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/-TVIAQ

• See dev stage badges (and others): https://talk.openmrs.org/badges

• How Dev Stages Work: https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/x/0B9IAQ

• /dev/null is starting point -- be here and interested

• 70 currently: https://talk.openmrs.org/badges/131/-dev-null

• /dev/1 is the basic starting developer, IDE, read the docs, etc.

• /dev/1 quiz (work in progress by @sunbiz) at Moodle: http://om.rs/moodle

• Currently a manual review process for promoting people "up the ranks" - this will change

• Next Steps

• Finish automating the moodle/quiz

• TODO: @sunbiz finishing up badge-granting automation

• move moodle onto an openmrs server

• TODO: @burke need to schedule regular /dev/5 meetups to review

• Questions/Comments

• How are Dev Stages helping (communication, motivation, clarifying)?

• How are Dev Stages hurting (confusion, ambiguity, don't fit non-devs)?

• What updates/changes to Dev Stages would help most?

• Paul: How do we want to handle multiple labels? can't someone be both a GSOC student and a /dev/2?

• The label in talk is "title" under profile settings

• Users must pick one

Technology Radar

• http://thoughtworks.com/radar

• Relevant to OpenMRS

• HOLD Application Servers <http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/platforms/application-servers>

• Could be a major change to how we develop/deploy

• What about creating an official Debian package?

• Some implementations (e.g., PIH) have used debian packages for deployment/upgrade

• OpenMRS Community has typically not been in the "last mile" – i.e., filling in all the content necessary to implement a system.

• OpenHIE considerations: https://wiki.ohie.org/x/yYBQAQ

• ADOPT Consumer-Driven Contract Testing <http://www.thoughtworks.com/radar/techniques/consumer-driven-contract-testing>

• Let consumers of web services help define the tests we should be running

• Does the QA team want to evaluate how we might start doing this and make suggestions?
