IRS Responses - Paul/Hamish
OpenMRS1 Limited wiki page - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/OpenMRS1+Limited
Hamish will need to clarify some items with the lawyer but a lot of what we need to do is to document the activities we do in development, documentation of the system and teaching. They also want information on evaluation and evidence base. I am hoping that some of you can pitch in with a short piece on software development strategy, the public web resources etc. Hopefully a lot of this is documented at least in part on the web etc. We will also need to describe how OpenMRS interacts with IU and PIH, clearly somewhat of a work in progress. There may be restyrictions on how we can spend OpenMRS funds outside those two relationships.
IRS questions are to make sure that by setting up a nonprofit we are not creating a tax shelter - is this clearly about the good of the public
IRS respose due date is in May 8th (w/ possibility of extention) and Hamish will be putting this together.
For training should we just use what we have done up to this point? What we do now, what we want to do in the future and our intent.
Hamish would like help with getting responses from people who are invovled in specific areas of intrest

OMRS Satelitte Meeting - IMIA/HELINA - Chris
One brief update is that we are proceeding with discussions to explore the possibility of including a satellite IMIA/HELINA meeting in OpenMRS 2013 and hope to have a first conference call with the LOC (Patrick, Steve Wanyee and Tom Oluoch) next week. Michael D can elaborate further, if needed.
OMRS Lead Call Time - Jamie
Thurs 1-2pm EDT / 10-11am PDT / 7-8 pm SAST)
Maybe not?
Reference App
Now have a dev app mailing list - this can be open to anyone that wants to join
Thinking about sending updates to the dev list
Planning to have more design call topics around reference application topics
Don't want to loose cross chatter as we break our world/groups up - want one place for chatter for everyone
Should there be lists for projects and not just one list, the dev list.
We have committed now to the model of creating lists so that people do not feel buried by emails - i.e. dev reference app list and pm/ba reference app list
What about a digest list? - Michael will look into this.
