Minutes

• Engineering Role Overview w/ Burke

  • Link to Burke's role description - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/Engineering+Lead+%28Title+TBD%29

  • 2013 Goals - could get better defined

  • define development roles to get people more engaged

  • get implementations more involved in development and work towards sustainablility

  • tangible maturation of our continious deployment practices

  • would like to get metrics in place to track what devs are working on

  • Have broke out the roles of the develpment team - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/Development+Team

  • Business Analyst

  • Community Development Leader

  • Dedicated Sprinter

  • OMRS Development Manager

  • Technical Leader for Sprint

• Q&A

  • P - Burke has done a good job of setting up metrics so we can measure how we are doing. Would like to see others do this as well over the year.

  • P - Before those leading development were laying out the road map and this is not the nbest way to create the RoadMap.

  • Need to define the RoadMap - focus on community process

  • B - Focus in the near future is to improve on sprinting process, reference application, GSoC, handle on where to get metrics and pushing those to get started, documentation is a high priority but not sure how we will move forward

  • MD - Need for Release Manager - to bundle something up and get it out the door from time to time

  • D - Would like to talk about an Application Development Lead

• RoadMap w/ Chris Power

  • Struggling to get the RoadMap process started

  • Would like to see all the leads having a hand in the RoadMap but not a single persons responsibility - group or rotating responsibility?

  • Establish tracks for RoadMap?

  • Need to redefine what the roadmap is and is not

  • Agile needs the highlevel strategy to help move things forward

  • There could be different RoadMaps down the line but think we should focus on one first.

  • No fundamental theme on which the RoadMap is targeted

  • each of the five leads along with paul will work to create the first RoadMap - version 1 out in a month

  • There is a RoadMap mailing list and all the leads will need to be added to the list

  • RoadMap Planning - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Road+Map+Planning

  • TODO: Chris P. will come up with a date for version one of the RoadMap from the leads

  • TODO: Chris P./Paul will come up with a process for the leads to move forward with creating the roadmap
