MOVE TO NEXT CALL

Summit Update - Michael

Paul sent out strategic invites on 19 Nov

Letter did not mention funding support. Do we intend to help?

Paul: hard to answer in the abstract. I think we're always open to considering supporting strategic invitees... we should take the circumstances on a case by case basis... but the short answer is: sure, if there's a strategic importance to it!

Darius: my expectation is that most people who got a strategic invite letter will not get any funding support, but a couple will

Andy: fair enough, just thought if they were "strategic" we would want to get them there :) and some comment to that fact might help.

Security - Michael

Talk post by Darius on security and prioritization: https://talk.openmrs.org/t/security-and-prioritization/3745

Tactics (immediate need)

Critical issue underway: temporailay disabled demo and test systems to the public - access can be requested

Also some non-critical issues underway

DJ - would liked to have seen a conversation happen with the engineering team around taking demo servers down. have had one of our devs focusing on this and not working on release priorities.

Future process

would like to have a larger meeting around this process and how we want to handle it in the future.

would be helpful to have a PM to focus on this

Need to determine how to assess/rank issues as critical (or lower) severity

Need to evaluate who receives communications when issues are reported

TODO: Paul will start a Talk topic on this after todays call.

Public good for funding and investments - Terry

Terry was unable to make it to the call due to travel.

Paul and Terry working on engagement strategies with different organizaitons

Once we have some the strategic docuemnts in place Paul will be able to make a more formal presentation to orgs like USAID, CDC and World Bank.

Governance

https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/DRAFT+OpenMRS+Community+Governance+Model

With Paul's travel over the last couple weeks he has not been able to work on this

Will have a draft document for the Summit but will need some input from the leadership group on high level topics - like funding distribution and such

AOB

Inc. Board Meeting on 23 Nov (following Camp) and 16 Dec (following Summit)

On Monday's Board meeting Paul will be giving an update about the Camp and what leadership is asking of the Board. Paul will report back to this group on the next call.

Potential new recruitment - Paul

Amanda McPherson previously the Chief Marketing Office from the Linux Foundation is interested in engaging with OpenMRS.

Outcome of USAID BAA meeting in DC - Darius

>50 participants

USAID used an interesting innovative process to have participants step back from projects and identify problems and solutions for interoperability

Looked at terminology managment tooling (Jonathan Payne and Andy Kanter work) with a large collaborative:

OpenMRS and DHIS as tools that would use this service

WHO as an example authoritiative publisher of content

THRIVE/OpenSRP as an example community generator of content

someone to write code to finish and extend OCL

Need to think about process of hiring developers or how we would make this work

Andy forwarded PPT from leadership camp to Paul so that potentially a second concept document around content management could be created.
