Agenda/Notes

• Atlas Module WIP

• Modulus: what are the main bugfixes/improvements people want to see in the module repo, and who wants to work on them?

Atlas WIP <https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-atlas>

• Overview of current work

• Goal is to enhance Atlas as a platform to help people understand who is running OpenMRS and answer questions about sites (size, versions, distributions, modules used, etc.)

• Initial goal: add distribution information to Atlas

• Showcase current changes

• Added "Distro" as a property for markers

• https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/ATLAS-119 (store distro data)

• https://issues.openmrs.org/browse/ATLAS-120 (show distro data)

• Feedback

• View list should be sorted alphabetically (with Other last)

• Legend should be sorted alphabetically (with Other last)

• General questions

• What is the starting list of distros?

• Standard Distros:

• OpenMRS 1.x

• Reference Application 2.x

• Bahmni

• KenyaEMR

• Other

• Eventually the list should be managed by the OpenMRS Distributions team

• possible eventual candidates: CHITS, eSaude, MKS

• What is the framework?

• PHP Laravel <https://laravel.com/>

• Routes are in app/routes.php

• Has anyone looked at trying to deal with the memory leaks in Laravel Artisan? 

• See proliferation of artisan PID's on production here: https://gist.github.com/downeym/021c7b37a6edb2f743d9

• Screen capture cron job doesn't end cleanly

• The screen capture is done using Node (phantomjs). Probably an "exec" (command line execution) from the PHP app and that isn't getting cleaned up properly.

• Need a ticket for this.

• Atlas Going Forward (Overview / Plans)

• Idea: replace the PHP app as a NodeJS app (possibly a GSoC project)

• Show summary statistics:

• # of sites by (version, type, distribution)

• # of sites running each module (group by module, sort by count(*) descending)

Modulus WIP <https://modules.openmrs.org>

• Source:

• https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-modulus

• https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-modulus-ui

• Hasn't (yet) been too easy for people to contribute fixes/features

• University call (includes screen share)

• https://talk.openmrs.org/t/university-2016-01-27-modulus-modules-directory-code-base/4386

• Dependencies

• Requires application key (via helpdesk) or to set up yournMRS I own OpeD server (local)

• Questions

• Is there a staging environment for modulus?

• Yes

• How do new features get deployed?

• There have never been subsequent releases of modulus by engineering so there's no defined process for deployments

• TODO:

• Don't require OpenMRS ID for development

• R0bby is working on a docker container to mock OpenMRS ID server

• Elliott is working on mock oauth server

• Would substituting return values in these classes be enough?

• https://github.com/openmrs/openmrs-contrib-modulus/tree/master/src/groovy/org/openmrs/modulus/oauth

• Once done, update README

Next weeks call: 

• FOSDEM trip report (Michael Downey), Google Code-in (GCI) work review (Suranga Kasthurirathne,Saptarshi Purkayastha)

Transcripts

• Audio recording of the call: Listen online or download (available after the meeting)
