Agenda

• Set a date for the logic-a-thon.

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.
