Monthly ?Technical Roadmap Review

1.7 testing

• Some installation delays at AMPATH.
• ?Jeremy Keiper is headed to Kenya and will help them with 1.7 installation this week end and testing over the next week.
• Still on track for release around end of the month.

1.8 release status

• As of today, 46 tickets are still open.
• Tentative alpha date is about 1 month from now (approx 1 October) and a potential release in 8 weeks.
• TODO: ?Wyclif Luyima needs to determine what is in and what is out as release manager, and select some minor tickets for inclusion in 1.8. There are also a few tickets that need priority assigned (they are currently TBD).
• TODO: ?Burke Mamlin will update ?Technical Roadmap Planning and ?Release Process to describe the process for inclusion of minor tickets in releases.
• TODO: ?user-16386 will document how tickets were selected for 1.7 release.
• The hackathon was productive both from issues worked and guidance about Maven changes.

1.9 Preview

• We need a volunteer for 1.9 release manager. We'll talk about it more next week.
• It would be beneficial to discuss this in the ??2010 Implementers Group Meeting Program.
• TODO: ?Mike Seaton will e-mail the implementers list with questions about 1.9 topics for the implementers meeting.

2.0 Planning

• Darius is the presumptive release manager for 2.0.
• Post-implementer meeting, Darius will complete the selection of UI frameworks and set up a project with said framework, infrastructure, etc.
• He has been working with an intern on ??OpenMRS 2.0 User Interface Redesign but those designs are still very early and incomplete.
• A course at IU School of Informatics is doing a usability evaluation and user testing of 1.7 this semester which should produce design recommendations.
• ?Glen McCallum suggested the need for a UI guidelines document for both core & module developers.
• Discussion about how to define page fragments that users/administrators can manipulate in v2.0
