In addition to:
- Frontend PRs: Dennis, Jayasanka, Ian
- Core, Platform PRs: Daniel, Ian, Raff
| Problem/Team Name | Feature Complete Outpatient O3 | Managing Multiple Implementations at Scale Performance at Scale | IPS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Problems To Solve | Make installing as easy as possible, without a dev team to deploy. Need something simpler than docker for non-tech deployers. | All OMRS FHIR resources are compliant with the IPS. However there are some things the IPS asks for that we don't yet have a story for:
Implementations need to be more involved in how we model things with FHIR↔OMRS data model because current FHIR modelling lead isn't directly involved in Implementations - e.g.: Diagnostic Reports: Supposed to be FHIR representation of a doc from the lab. We've gone back and forth on how that's implemented, eg as way of implementing obs groups → means diagnostic reports have become their own separate table which no one seems to be using. | |
| Frontend Team milestones | Review of the calls we're making and how we can make those much more efficient. | ||
| QA Team milestones | |||
| Backend Team milestones | Enhance REST API Performance (Fewer API calls needed): Instead of 40 requests from FE, want 1 request that carries multiple things. We have multiple APIs that can do that but need to be extended or refactored for higher quality. Eg: Encounter info bundling. Eg: Order basket: searching for a drug creates >40 requests instantly - won't function well under poor wifi. |

Next Priorities* |
Preliminary Security Scan Scanning OpenMRS 3 RefApp w BurpSuite RAFF O3 Performance Spike (esm-core v5) Improvements to setup-OpenMRS, caching, FHIR query efficiency. Includes big release of esm-core v5 with breaking changes, and helping implementers migrate to this updated version of the O3 framework. Next: Service Worker, Caching mechanisms IAN DENNIS RAFF O3 Docs improvements DENNIS Quality Gate #1: Smoke E2E tests run against O3 PRs Focus is on chromium browsers JAYASANKA Increasing OCL Features & Deprecated Dictionary Manager SURUCHI 2.6 Platform Release & Community Release Support DANIEL Thank you Herman! 2.13 RefApp Release & Community Release Support DANIEL Thank you Juliet! CI Pipeline updates for auto-dockerization All major builds in CI Pipeline now use Docker RAFF Docker Images for Platform, RefApp 2.x, RefApp 3.x/O3 Auto-generated via CI pipeline RAFF Support to Run OpenMRS on Mac M1 & M2 Chips (For Platform, Core, RefApp 2.x, RefApp O3) Current in Nightly Images RAFF | Community SSO & Auth Replacement Updating to Jira/Wiki Cloud is blocked by this. Experimenting with KeyCloak and LDAP options. (Demo on TAC Aug 17) Goal: transition to Atlassian Cloud by Sept. Current blocker: sending SAML NameID JAYASANKA O3 Form Builder Improvements DENNIS Faster O3 Auto-Setup on Local Improvements to SDK to automate rapid setup of O3 on dev machines DANIEL GSOC Patient Flags Module Performance & O3 readiness DANIEL Quality Gate #2: Detailed E2E tests run against O3 build in CI via playwright Docker Container. Coverage of esm-pt-management and form-builder ongoing. Currently running only on GHA, next to add to Bamboo. JAYASANKA ANJULA PIUMAL Helping an Implementer use our E2E test tactics ICAP-Ethiopia working with Anjula on implementing. Was blocked for a few weeks during their system migration. Trying to write at least unit and integration tests before end of fellowship. Risk mitigation done: Relevant infra is set up on their repo + docs ready. KenyaEMR very interested. Reviewed code. To f/u with their devs for form testing (which are currently tested manually). ANJULA Dockerized OpenMRS - Easier to Deploy, No more Dependency-Hell Updated dependencies on infra that is used to run on containers - makes straightforward to set up OpenMRS. Will reduce production implementation problems where the root cause was just a dependency on a different version # of Java, Maven, etc. Done: Cut CI Build time from 30 mins to 15 mins RAFF All Releases to use Docker All major releases should auto-use Docker RAFF Migrate CI Plans (Deployment Recipes) into GitHub for easier Implementer re-use No longer a black-box re. how to set up a CI pipeline when using OpenMRS software. Need to document how to do this so volunteers can help with integrating. RAFF VOLS CAN DO Get CQL Engine to run several CDS Rules + Indicators DANIEL SURUCHI ANC / MCH Decision Support User Research & Designs SURUCHI PAUL CIARAN Platform and backend module Community Support DANIEL Bahmni PAT Attending and representing wider OMRS cmty DANIEL O3 Priority Bug Fixes VINEET DENNIS | XStream Security Issue RAFF Security Scan Backlog Triage RAFF Additional O3 Performance Improvements Next: Service Worker, Caching mechanisms IAN DENNIS Update O3 RefApp Distro with maintenance improved Core IAN DENNIS DX: Reduce Rebuild Times (20mins → ~2 min!) Ability to leverage Springboot by replacing the dynamic class/module loader with one that works at build time.

Dependency caching done so local instances should be faster too. Fine-tune hibernate config and other things in OMRS run-time-properties. Info about how to use the prefix to do this: ___(docs to come; mostly in
