Minutes
Organization Update
- Emphasis on the development as a physical organization and virtual organization:
- Physical: nonprofit organization (headed by Dawn Smith)
- Virtual: online presence (headed by Michael Downey)
- Staging environment for online presence
- Ben, Darius, Justin, Burke, and Paul will meet with Michael to further discuss how JIRA should be configured and to develop a workflow process
Consulting Opportunities
- Thoughts about consulting branched into two options:
- Developer completes requests on his own (outside of OpenMRS as an organization)
- Request filters into OpenMRS as a team and then discussion occurs for who can complete the project
- Considerations
- Time for work and time for consulting projects
- Chris explained Jembi’s process of 100% regular work time and 20% additional time (equivalent to one, eight-hour work day) for projects. Point is to put some type of limitation on extracurricular work so as not to impact career
- Ensuring that items requested for consulting are consistent with mission and values of OpenMRS
- Time for work and time for consulting projects
- Conclusion:
- Further discussion is needed to outline the following: 1) the pros and cons of consulting, 2) procedures for addressing submitted requests, 3) how the requests will be completed, and 4) who will complete the submitted requests
