Road Map Summer Conference
Why? Next Road Map Conference may not occur til 2012, if we host in South East Asia which is too long to wait
Dates: late June, mid to late July
3-5 days
Topics: opportunity to bring core implementations together with developers to build momentum
Burke - Strategy and Design
Strategy: things we're planning on the road map are planned out, prioritized correctly, and meeting implementers' needs
Next Steps:
Dawn is connecting with individuals at Columbia University about hosting the conference
Dawn will send concept paper to Andy to circulate with Columbia for conference support
Implementers Conference
HELINA chose their conference site
OpenMRS conference will start the day after (10 September)
Dawn: can start OpenMRS registration the day of to save some time
Dawn wrote concept paper to circulate with funders, so fundraising is the next/current step
Sprints
Darius: The schedule is laid out, and it would be great to have leadership input
i.e. Hamish is leading evaluation, so it's helpful to know the priorities in order to start/complete that process
Review Road Map from the community that we prioritized during the Boston meeting to make sure the sprints meet those expectations
