Meeting Minutes

• NGO Updates

    • This registers OpenMRS with the State of Indiana, and through federal application it can become a nonprofit

    • ~30 people to travel from outside the US

    • Number of Days Needed - 3-4

  • Concept Paper - Dawn and Burke will finalize this tomorrow

• SMart

  • Linked in through a GSoC project

    • Question is whether the student knows what they are designing can be built upon

    • This requires OpenMRS developer guidance which can be a challenge in terms of available time

  • Next Step: Paul will write and talk about the leadership group's interest in going forward. Paul will write a concept note with Dawn to submit.

• mHealth Platform Meeting next week and How it Relates to OpenMRS

  • Paul received an invitation to Open mHealth

    • Paul will attend next week to support coordinating open source activities

    • Leadership group will let Paul know anything to provide from OpenMRS

• Thoughtworks Offer

  • Paul and Roy of ThoughtWorks discussed getting the main TW office more involved with OpenMRS

    • Main office is ~250 employees that could provide development support

  • Suggestions:

    • Darius-having all their developers for two days is more useful than having some for several days

    • Darius-possibly having something focused on 2.0 UI, web services

    • Paul-what other areas do we need more help?

      • Burke-it would be helpful if we describe smaller things or take one idea and apply it across the board

      • Burke-bring on some ppl for sprints

      • Darius-support around logic or combo of logic, data warehousing and reporting would be helpful

    • Paul will ask for web services expertise and also ask for a longer time for support with fewer developers at a time than all developers over a two-day period

• Archetypes

  • Paul-the Brazilian system stores information as xml documents. some are handled in real time and others in a relational model.

  • Paul-believe we can have Beatrice and her folks participate in OpenMRS

  • Hamish-we need more demonstration on seeing how all of this works better in the field

  • Paul-this is designed at the ministry level, not the clinical level

  • Paul-this is just an opportunity to talk about archetypes, not to put any resources in it at this time
