Monthly OpenLMIS Governance Committee Call. This meeting includes members of the governance committee, as well as anyone else interested in participating.
*Numbers may retroactively shift as epics can be re-estimated on an ongoing basis. Roughly 33.4 epic points are not included in this estimate as they were de-prioritized or were too big/too vague to estimate.
Phase 1 status: mostly complete (missing approval of the interface workstream)
Phase 2 status: underway, see the Living Product Roadmap for the epics underway and upcoming
Implementation opportunity: an opportunity for an implementation or deployment of the OpenLMIS software. Usually this is done at a national or sub-national level within a ministry of health. This can also include feature work which would be done within the implementation and contributed back to the global codebase.
Community opportunity: a funding opportunity to support an organization or individual to work directly on the global codebase and/or administrate the community processes. This may include funding specific features on the community roadmap.
All
Community funding opportunities:
Notice C: Plan is to seek funding to maintain the codebase and continue to do quarterly releases with bug fixes and new features requested by the community.

Major Theme: Bring together OpenLMIS users or those who work directly with end-users from the different OpenLMIS implementations. Dialogue about how OpenLMIS can change to better support users and the challenges they face, such as reducing the data burden and giving users the right information at the right times. Participate in human-centered design activities and usability testing of new OpenLMIS v3 features. The outcome of this community meeting will be revisions to the product design and roadmap to better meet the real-world needs of end users.
Support Needed: the community is discussing how to financially support members in participating. More information soon.
