TODO: Burke will get PIH presentation from Mike added to the wiki page
No further comments
OpenMRS Hackathons (reviewing past hackathons, plans for new ones)
Recommended by Chris Power; expanded to talk about tools, etc
How do we get development done? OpenMRS as a community ... current impression.
Values/Mission/Goals
Try to be driven by implementation needs
Wanna have fun
High quality code
Fast turnaround (never more than 3 years between releases)
"Engage the world"
Road Map?!?
TODO: Burke & Darius to clean this up
Roles
We have core developers and "people on the outside"
"implementation developers"
Working on modules
Adapting core code (e.g., via implementation-specific modules)
Looking for opportunities to leverage community modules
Not always clear how to collaborate without losing efficiency
Not always clear on how to use resources
Sometimes wear a "community" hat and support community modules
RFE, reporting, idgen, HFE, etc.
Often with insanely tight timeliness
"community developers"
"community groups of developers"
We've seen these form in Germany, Australia, etc.
"philanthropic organizations"
e.g. ThoughtWorks, random universities / schools
Need a quick way to donate a chunk of high quality developer time
