Agenda/Notes
GSoC Project Ideas Discussion
Invitation on Talk:
Suranga's comments-

New rules:
    
  • Effective this year, a person can only participate a maximum of 3 times as a GSoC student in their lifetime. 
  • Mentors can now be under 18. They must be 13 or older and provide parental consent.
  
Before GSoC
helping our gsoc aspirants - what can we do to be better prepared
How to be a (better) mentor
How can we streamline / co-ordinate work better? can projects be organized under "themes"?
Comments from Burke:
    
    Condensed Burke-speak:
         The best projects would be non-mission critical "nice to haves" for implementations that had a good chance to reach a "1.0" state in ~4-6 weeks.
         Focus on ref app rather than legacy UI - so rest backends and angular frontends
         Atlas and Modulus are ripe for iterative improvements.
  • Darius: Projects that use Open Web Apps as a technologies
 Suggested Projects:
  • OpenMRS ID Dashboard User management dashboard (We need be able to see users in MongoDB(makes development easier) **AND** OpenLDAP(for Atlassian products) -- I wireframed one during the OMRS15 hackathon (Robby O'Connor. Elliott probably) -- Will spec out 
  • Convert OpenMRS ID Dashboard to ES6 -- ES6 has a lot of cool stuff -- we should migrate entirely to ES6 (Robby O'Connor, Elliott Probably?)  -- Will spec out shortly 
  • Prototype Angular 2.x UI for Modulus and general code clean up and general TLC -- should spec this out farther -- but we probably should get updates in as part of GSoC -- it's a fun project -- and the community needs it! (Thanks Burke <3) 
  • Add REST Web Services for everything that is missing
  • (e.g. recent Talk conversation about how you can't trigger a concept index update via REST)
  • Polymer and Web Components: build an example of a useful, reusable Web Component, based on Polymer (Saptarshi to mentor?) 
  • last I looked Polymer was very buggy and actually crashed Google Chrome (Robby)
  • Collecting clinical forms from implementations, and adding them to the reference application (not sure if this is a good idea)
  • Incorporate dcm4chee Radiology module into reference application?
  • OpenMRS on MariaDB and everything related to this? (I thought this was already done. But how about PostgreSQL?)
  • Release manager dashboard (Mayank)
  • Teleconsultation module (maybe with Android app) (suggested by Shreyans) +1(Robby)
  • Something about Module Repository (but what?)
  • Something about Atlas (but what?)
To -Do 
More / better tickets (More elaborate description for newbies)
Folks to start writing up project ideas 
Basic Ideas:
1.  Implement an android app to enable patients make audio and video calls with their doctors.(Ch3ck)
2.. Port Data Import Tool to Platform 2.0 and Importing Excel Dbs into OpenMRS.(Ch3ck)
3. Angular 2.x UI for Modulus (prototype, won't be production-ready)
4. ID Dashboard Data Management Tool overhaul -- we(Infrastructure team) need it bad! 
5. ID Dashboard code upgrade from ES5 to ES6
**Not related to GSoC but definitely a blocker**
  • Modulus developmen Stoppers currently:
  •     Darius has suggested that I set up a Vagrant or Docker image for ID Dashboard and I will do it this weekend, Talk post in progress as we speak. This will remove the need to for the infra team to generate oauth keys. Robby is currently the blocker
  • OpenMRS IDE -- development environment based on IntelliJ with everything needed to get started  (Robby) [possible solution- email known jetbrains support i know(-bholagabbar)]
  • Could also be a vagrant/docker image???  (Robby)
