Agenda
Quickly review previous meeting minutes
1.6 release update
OASYS project update
After-action review & next week's agenda
Minutes
1.6 release update
nobody on the call is using 1.6 in testing
except for AMPATH
expected release date is tomorrow, pending updates from darius
OASYS project update
Dietrich called in to provide an update
Made a few initial commits; most code for framework is in openmrs/modules/messaging
Now working on SMS Messaging Service
currently at the point where it looks for connected modems and makes connection
not at the "hello world" point yet, but getting there soon
for SMS library, (SMSLib), there is already documentation on what you need as far as hardware/software goes
glancing through code from the community would be a huge help
once module becomes active, test it against oasys.gotdns.org
Misc.
no updates on Jembi
trying to get Jembi more active in the community, help out a little more
Mathias is working on database backups triggered from admin interface
PIH in Haiti
migrating a huge system over to OpenMRS
other system is feature-rich, has features that OpenMRS does not have yet
reporting is one feature OpenMRS can improve on
getting control to the teams on the ground to handle patient list, etc
synchronization is another issue; dealing with power and internet access problems
offline data entry is being used with a lightweight javascript format
2.0 Technology Improvements
waiting on 1.6 release and leadership / roadmap meetings to be finished before moving forward
