Minutes

  • Sprint Schedule

    • Paul: Where do we want to inject a sprint for the SMART project?

    • Burke & Darius: We should re-visit web service and slot another sprint for this

    • Darius: Sprint leader should tweet and comment about how the sprint is progressing

    • Conclusion:

      • Add the following slots to the sprint schedule:

        • Web Services

        • Move Sync to later

        • Add a slot for Provider per Encounter

        • OCC (potentially earlier)

          • Finalize on Wednesday morning design call

  • Documentation

    • Paul: We need to prioritize what we focus on to start with, and the 30 June call will make that explicit

    • Dawn: Working with Ed on places to start: bins to categorize topics

    • Paul: We need to get organized before we invest in hiring a technical writer for documentation

    • Hamish: Perhaps we have someone to at least coordinate this and get it started

    • Paul: Create names for different types of documentation and put effort into fleshing out phases of this

    • Burke: Where's the technical guide, users guide, implementation guide

      • Outcomes: Look at what tools we can use, how to improve documentation, sustainable documentation, etc.

    • TODO:

      • Burke send Ed a link to the RI wiki to take a look at the documentation model for suggestions on how to get started with OpenMRS documentation

  • Funding

    • Paul: We look at a model where people are seconded into OpenMRS

    • Paul: There are ways to generate sustainable income for the NGO to hire full-time developers and ppl like dawn and Michael

      • We need to be strategic about the type of jobs we go after and the trainings we provide
