Agenda & Notes
  • Review TODOs from last week
  • Run through strategy for each OpenMRS 2.2 distributed module on design forum soon (Jamie Thomas) 
  • Invite Bahmni team to present their OpenERP integration as a form of billing support OOB for OpenMRS RA (Jamie Thomas)
  • Invite PIH to present "2.0-ified" appointment module for potential RA integration
  • TODO: Put out a call for volunteer OpenMRS 2.2 release manager (?)
  • TODO: get Wyclif in touch with David & Audrey to coordinate sprint kickoff time. (?)
  • Process for keeping track of components, libraries, dependencies (40 minutes)
  • Darius: Realizing we're behind isn't enough. We need people to make sure upgrades are getting done, tested, etc.
  • Example: Jackson JSON library. In OpenMRS Platform 1.10 we are using 1.5.0 (from 3/2010). In 1.11 we will be using 1.9.13 (from 7/2013), they have released 2.5.
  • Reasons to upgrade
  • What do we gain?
  • New devs will be used to contemporary libraries, not really old ones
  • How much work will it take?
  • Is it backwards compatible?
  • Issues
  • Backwards incompatibilities can be introduced
  • Smaller (less popular) libraries - can be challenging to get documentation on old versions
  • Potential approaches to identify the work needed
  • TODO: Burke to define the explicit role and look for someone(s) to fill it
  • Use topic fest to schedule discussions
  • Create a database/table/document to track libraries (version used & current stable release)
  • This could probably be scripted – i.e., given a list of specific libraries, scan POM in core or distributed module source, then grep the latest stable release version
  • TODO: See if we could make a script
  • TODO: Suranga to share output of version diff for CORE with dev list
  • Review library versions as part of release process
  • Create tickets to upgrade library version
  • Potiential approaches for getting the work done (i.e., actually get us upgraded)
  • Assign a dev to a spike
  • Research release notes for library from version used to current release
  • Try upgrading library and see what breaks
  • Test existing modules
  • Include library upgrade as part of sprint when working toward a release
  • Include library upgrades in menu of "ways to help" when dev group or class asks how they could help
  • Allow & encourage pull requests that upgrade a library (will need to notify module owners)
  • Maximize the work & upgrading that can happen in modules
  • Investigate whether using a newer version of a core dependency (e.g., Jackson or XStream) into a module will work.
  • Use GSoC for larger upgrades iff we believe that there is a 90% or better chance of success
  • #MOZ15 OpenMRS-DHIS2 hackathon pre-planning (14 minutes)
  • See attendee list below.
  • "People who will be there"
  • Darius (who hasn't registered)

  • Ask Mozambique devs/implementers (via Pascal?)
  • Strategy
  • TODO: Burke will create a Talk topic on deciding goals/expectations of hackathon as well as determining expertise of attendees
  • TODO: Pascal will talk to group from Mozambique to get ideas/goals
