Meeting Minutes

Sending a Delegate to IMeCA 2010 in Nicaragua in December

• Ben received an e-mail from Joaquin requesting an OpenMRS developer to be present

  • Burke and Darius found the conference very valuable last year

• CONCLUSION: We will find someone from OpenMRS to send

National Telehealth Center - Philippines

• Dr. Alvin Marcelo (Director of UP-Manila - National Telehealth Center)

  • Will be showing the Philippine government OpenMRS within a larger presentation about the importance of health informatics

• ACTION ITEM: OpenMRS will send a letter of support

HISP India Training Updates (10 min)

• Darius communicated with Sundeep

• Proposals:

  • Rather than flying out for the training, create weekly opportunities for development training opportunities

    • Suggestions:

    • Setting aside core developer time for technical assistance items

    • Taking time for "office hours" or "lectures"

      • Set aside time each week where core developers are available

        • People can ask questions: i.e. Can you take a look at the module code? How would you approach this issue? etc.

• ACTION ITEM: Paul and Darius will follow up again with Sundeep

Board of Directors (25 min)

• ACTION ITEMS for Dawn:

  • Send letters to nominees to either receive an acceptance or decline for the nomination

    • Notify nominators if their nominee declined

  • Compile biographies/portfolios of each nominee
