Minutes

• Engineering Role Overview w/ Burke
  • Link to Burke's role description - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/Engineering+Lead+%28Title+TBD%29
  • 2013 Goals - could get better defined
  • define development roles to get people more engaged
  • get implementations more involved in development and work towards sustainablility
  • tangible maturation of our continious deployment practices
  • would like to get metrics in place to track what devs are working on
  • Have broke out the roles of the develpment team - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/RES/Development+Team
  • Business Analyst
  • Community Development Leader
  • Dedicated Sprinter
  • OMRS Development Manager
  • Technical Leader for Sprint
• Q&A
  • P - Burke has done a good job of setting up metrics so we can measure how we are doing. Would like to see others do this as well over the year.
  • P - Before those leading development were laying out the road map and this is not the nbest way to create the RoadMap.
  • Need to define the RoadMap - focus on community process
  • B - Focus in the near future is to improve on sprinting process, reference application, GSoC, handle on where to get metrics and pushing those to get started, documentation is a high priority but not sure how we will move forward
  • MD - Need for Release Manager - to bundle something up and get it out the door from time to time
  • D - Would like to talk about an Application Development Lead
• RoadMap w/ Chris Power
  • Struggling to get the RoadMap process started
  • Would like to see all the leads having a hand in the RoadMap but not a single persons responsibility - group or rotating responsibility?
  • Establish tracks for RoadMap?
  • Need to redefine what the roadmap is and is not
  • Agile needs the highlevel strategy to help move things forward
  • There could be different RoadMaps down the line but think we should focus on one first.
  • No fundamental theme on which the RoadMap is targeted
  • each of the five leads along with paul will work to create the first RoadMap - version 1 out in a month
  • There is a RoadMap mailing list and all the leads will need to be added to the list
  • RoadMap Planning - https://openmrs.atlassian.net/wiki/display/docs/Road+Map+Planning
  • TODO: Chris P. will come up with a date for version one of the RoadMap from the leads
  • TODO: Chris P./Paul will come up with a process for the leads to move forward with creating the roadmap
