Minutes
Hamish asked Brian his opinion on how many people it takes to support OpenMRS on one site.
Does it require a Java programmer on site for every OpenMRS instance?
Goal is that a stable release will work properly and would not require a programmer to fix.
Consensus is that it is entirely possible to run OpenMRS without a programmer, but it requires a technical person.
This person could support several sites.
Requires knowledge of Apache Tomcat and be able to run MySQL scripts.
Infopath
MDR-TB will have direct physician entry whereas the rest of PIH implementations use forms.
AMRS in Kenya uses forms to enter encounters.
Easier to manage one central site as in Eldoret, Kenya than to manage several separate sites such as in Rwanda.
Requires programmers on site to roll out new features such as Sync branch.
Justin gave update on future dev.openmrs.org site.
Need an environment (host) that can be easily/quickly reached for support.
"Hitting a wall" with svn authentication.
The potential dev.openmrs.org host doesn't provide a 'home' directory, which is useful if not necessary.
Goal:
Subversion up and working via http within the next 48 hours or one week.
Justin will start e-mail conversation and copy Burke on it.
Waiting to contact Darius (currently in Cambodia) in order to set date for logic-a-thon.
Burke will send out a half-made e-mail about logic-a-thon.
Will need to take place in Indianapolis.
Maybe the day after AMIA Symposium?
OpenMRS 1.3.2 release
Couple more changes.
Should happen next week.
concept-name branch to be merged this week to trunk.
