Agenda
1. Feedback 

• Grace and Jennifer found out the needs and shared them on talk. https://talk.openmrs.org/t/brainstorming-project-ideas-for-gsod-2021/32289/8

• Overall award is $15,000

• Sustainability is a concern: In past good documentation has been done, but then it's not maintained

2. Project ideas for GSOD 2021

• REST API: Generating API documentation by code

• Openmrs academy: Document, organize and publish developer/implementer skills, knowledge and associated content

• Extending documentation in the form of how to videos

• Update SDK tutorial https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/OpenMRS+SDK+Step+By+Step+Tutorials

• Getting Started with QA 

• Getting Started with 3.0: How to Develop with Microfrontends and Carbon 

• Upgrading OpenMRS from 1.x to 2.x

• Getting Started package (multiple Get Started projects) & making documentation more sustainable (probably too much scope)

• Mentorship/Fellowship Idea: Pick one getting started for the technical writer to focus on, and then they would also mentor several documentation fellows who would take on some of the other projects

• Developing templates and guides for squads which would like to develop their own documentation

• To Do:Jennifer to come up with a talk thread inviting the community to vote on the best project

3. Mentors and technical writers for GSOD

• Mentors and technical writers to be selected after the community votes for the most suitable project

4. Trello board
