NOTES
Current funding from Digital Square:
...
- Says there is a need for Global Goods.
- Understands there is a shortfall in funding at the moment
Digital health and the Global Goods
- WHO recently passed resolution to support interoperable/affordable/adaptable solutions
- Global ‘public’ good, means that by using it, yuou are not preventing others form using it
- ‘Common pool’ resource- is something that is resource limited, but can be usef by many people (ie: Cloud services, and maybe funding?)
- Software is a tool that is free and open source (OpenLMIS, OpenSRP, etc); but there can be tools that provide a service (not necessarily open source, example is Digital Health Atlas), then there is also content ( a toolkit or info being shared)
- Lots of big donors signed up for the Digital Investment Principles- pledged to support global goods infrastructure. Architecture to fund things collaboratively still needs to be built--donors need to push to innovate how they fund things, which takes time
...
- Licensing, can they support us in reviewing to guiding us what to look at
- Mapping against open source archetypes NOTES
- benevolent dictator, with single organization leader
- Still single vender managed
- Small software tool, developed and maintained by a single person or small team
- Most common
- B2B (example, Android)
- Multi-Vendor Infra (Kubernetes, who else??)
- Controlled Ecosystem (example, what was the one he said?
- Mass Market (ex. DHIS2 perhaps….)
- Trusted Vender (
- Upstream Dependency
- Discourse for free??
- I wonder if this would include hosting, or just the setup/config?
- We could consider transitioning to this once our current contract ends in a year
- Microsoft isn’t supporting Azure and moving to Kubernetes
- No… Azure will be using Kubernetes, not going away
- Matt: Is it still a global good if you start to develop proprietary features and make clients pay for it?
- Rebecca: I like the idea he keeps mentioning about adding a 2% budget line for implementers to contribute back to core maintenance (sounds like Measure Eval did this?)
- We eventually want donors to be able to recognize the benefits that come with working with a platform that has the ‘professional services’ associated with Open Source (ie the OpenLMIS community support)
