Meeting Minutes
- Rwanda ehealth Architecture
- Paul: HI-PPP is emerging an implementation plan to improve maternal health outcomes
- Chris: Recommendations were made to the ministry around the adoption of certain standards
- We need to work through the use cases and implementation science to add value to the outcomes of maternal and child health
- Hamish: Difficulty is getting information on where the architecture is going and to get clarity
- Re-Organizing Calls Update
- Darius: Still need feedback from Andy and Chris S. on input for re-organizing OpenMRS calls
- Summary:
- Leadership: includes project management
- 1.5 hrs/wk total: 1hr weekly leadership call then 30min before or after for project management
- Community: overlap with implementers, users, developers, external devs
- 1hr/wk total: can include features/feature requirements, implementers showcase, consumers of OpenMRS can talk about plans, WIP/demos, GSoC (1 student per call to do a showcase)
- Developers: day-to-day and core devs
- 3-4hrs/wk total: can include design/how to implement design, development, code review, GSoC
- Leadership: includes project management
- Paul: Important to have a shared responsibility on the calls and decision. Encourage leadership from others
- Chris S.: Participative Management Style - using peer review to talk about performance on an individual basis but also as an organization
- Hamish: It would be good to have a process around this. It can be difficult to elicit feedback, but we need to find a way to engage individuals other than leadership to grow the organization
- Discussion Point: How can we open up design call discussions to the community, but still have a high-level discussion for core devs
- Burke: How do we make the meeting more transparent? Documentation and taking that to the community
