- Thoughtworks Offer
- Paul and Roy of ThoughtWorks discussed getting the main TW office more involved with OpenMRS
- Main office is ~250 employees that could provide development support
- Suggestions:
- Darius-having all their developers for two days is more useful than having some for several days
- Darius-possibly having something focused on 2.0 UI, web services
- Paul-what other areas do we need more help?
- Burke-it would be helpful if we describe smaller things or take one idea and apply it across the board
- Burke-bring on some ppl for sprints
- Darius-support around logic or combo of logic, data warehousing and reporting would be helpful
- Paul will ask for web services expertise and also ask for a longer time for support with fewer developers at a time than all developers over a two-day period
- Paul and Roy of ThoughtWorks discussed getting the main TW office more involved with OpenMRS
- Archetypes
- Paul-the Brazilian system stores information as xml documents. some are handled in real time and others in a relational model.
- Paul-believe we can have Beatrice and her folks participate in OpenMRS
- Hamish-we need more demonstration on seeing how all of this works better in the field
- Paul-this is designed at the ministry level, not the clinical level
- Paul-this is just an opportunity to talk about archetypes, not to put any resources in it at this time
