Collaborative Development Practices
- Jennifer Antilla
About this Session
Over the years, OpenMRS implementers have built out common features in their own, custom frontends, using different technologies. This has led to development happening in siloes instead of collaboratively. With our new frontend technology, we can reduce barriers to sharing frontend features - and collaboratively develop new features. Collaboration, however, does not magically happen. This session will introduce you to the community tools, practices, and conventions that make collaboration on OpenMRS 3.0 and OHRI package features possible.
Session Objectives
By the end of this session, you will be able to:
Identify key factors that influence and enable technical collaboration
Describe three community guidelines that enable collaboration
Use the right community communication tool for your purpose
Explain how decisions are made in the OpenMRS community
Distinguish between shared assets and implementation-specific assets
Discuss how key conventions that govern technical collaboration in the OpenMRS community are used to build OpenMRS 3.0 & OHRI features.
