• Malawi has started testing
• Performance Testing will start on Wednesday
• Daily bug triage at 6am PST

Reporting

Review options for user experience with superset reports (

• List view to iFrame
• One landing page with navigation inside of superset
• What about configuration reports

If there is time, provide an overview of the scope being discussed for 3.6.

One suggestion is to hide the Superset menu structure since it is confusing.

Craig and Brian - use the dropdown and prioritization from eLMIS to ease the navigation and reduce clicks

Sebastian - if the view reports was to show something more it would be useful (data required to run the report, filters or search criteria to generate report) then it would be useful.

Malawi will review these navigation options and respond with information before the next committee meeting

No update. 

NFR Performance Update

NFR page: Non-Functional Requirements - performance

The teams are still working on trip reports but we want to open it up to share two things they thought were useful for the group to hear. A trip report will be published that share the Gap Team meeting notes, site visits, Thursday advocacy event, people who were met, next steps

Ashraf:

• Prioritization discussion where we changed priorities from ARVs to Kits was a useful discussing and we had input from representatives from TZ, Malawi, Moz, Angola, Zambia.
• During the Advocacy lunch event there was a lot of interest expressed (Uganda and Kenya). Attendance was high (50ish people)

Sebastian:

• Budgeting feature is quite desired and needed in the countries using eLMIS. However, each country implementation has different requirements. This will take a lot on our side to develop that in order to meet the diverse needs of everyone interested in this feature.
  • Mary Jo: Budgeting depends on an external source of information (i.e. an accounting system) it can only bring value if they have a good external data source for that data.

Chifundo:

• Some users want a system that determines how much budget is remaining and it seems like a very important feature
• From the OpenLMIS advocacy event, the costing of the implementation itself is very important and of interest. How much does it cost to implement OpenLMIS v3. What are the cost implications for implementing OpenLMIS? How much is the bare minimum setup cost?
  • Mary Jo: The Implementer Toolkit (http://openlmis.org/get-started/implementer-toolkit/) has cost drivers that identify some of the things that drive the cost of OpenLMIS implementations

Rebecca:

• Many questions focused on the presentation around the Malawi implementation, their experience, what happens on the ground, how to plan, what does the timeline look like? This information is often needed before the implementation gets started.

Mary Jo:

• People were very interested in data visualization. There were a number of side sessions around data visualization. There are many dashboards in play across multiple donors in a single country. We need to be able to navigate whether we are going to take data in and perform cross-domain analysis or if we need to focus on pushing to other domains? Are we duplicating efforts within the country's eHealth architecture approaches?
• There is a lot of interest, a challenge and a point of opportunity in discussing the different versions of OpenLMIS that are currently deployed. How do we discuss the different versions, what is the story for each and how do we build a shared understanding around what's out there?

Clay:

• Advocacy event and trusted partner meeting – How do we share that the different versions are a single community? What is the process for upgrading and how can they migrate over time?
• It's important to continue to focus on how we continue to work together and improve the platform wherever possible.
• The number of participants in the advocacy event was excellent and there were many people who are not already members of the OpenLMIS community. We would like to keep that momentum going.

Next PC meeting: Dec 18th Ideas??
