Meeting Minutes

2011 OpenMRS Conferences

• Paul: Change the nature of how the leadership group relates to these meetings

  • Make it a collaborative relationship

  • Encourage local capacity and ownership, OpenMRS is the facilitator of those needs

• Important piece is to engage organizations throughout West Africa

• Second meeting

  • Thoughts around having this in Southeast Asia

  • Activity in the Philippines, India, Bangladesh, Pakistan

    • High demand of OpenMRS in these countries with both successful development and implementation

Nonprofit Updates

• Finalizing confirmation of supported organizations

  • After confirmation, Articles of Incorporation can be filed with the State of Indiana since each organization

    • Filing the Articles allows us to transfer properties from the LLC to the new entity

• Board of Directors and Bylaws

  • Finalize these at the Boston OpenMRS leadership meeting

Columbia Training

• Darius provided training over Skype

  • 10 hours of training for 2 hours per day via Skype screen sharing

  • The group requested more training and submitted a proposal to Darius

• Next Steps

  • Development and Training

    • Important consideration is to make sure OpenMRS is not competing with organizations we support

    • Organizations outside OpenMRS can provide training

  • This is something to continue to discuss and use this experience as a reference/pilot

  • Other considerations:

    • Evaluation forms - Dawn can create these

      • Consideration: language barriers
