Bahmni and OpenMRS - @Darius
Advisory Council Update - Bahmni coalition presented asking for advice on OpenMRS participation- we didnt get specific feedback on how to participate
focus was on should we participate during the conversation
info about the BoD and the role wiht Bahmni
we will need to figure out how we are participating and in what manner
we have to notify the BoD - can let the BoD know that we are considering this option and sharing it with the BoD and getting feedback to that option
TIming
Darius posts to Talk ( Monday/Tuesday)
we send information to the BoD about what we are discussing with the community
gather feedback from the community
represent to the LT call
gather information from the LT call and develop/endorse a recommendation
share that recommendation with the BoD and ask for their comments
Making money for OpenMRS
can we be our own organization with offerings and add indirects to our billing
what are ways for us to develop a business model to move our work along
is there a way to do evaluations/ assessments/ fill some gaps with our team that will allow us to sustain our organizations
we can 'sell' ourselves or collbaorate with others
core support offerings - dev shop, whether hired directly or within partner orgs
what about filling the role that TW has been doing now that TW is scaling back
can we talk to TW about picking up those implementation dev needs for those that they are not going to be supporting?
implementer training? (not actual implementation)
not being prime on implementation would be a goal -
training local service providers to support an implementation would be in our purview
thought leadership - how could we do this w/o competing against our dayjobs
discussion about multiple needs
e.g. appointment scheduling in the product
need to figure out how to do this
next steps- develop some business models
few different models to explore what we could offer
principle of agreeing to do things that do not hurt any other member of our community
