COVID 19 Edition- Update (10 minutes)	Brandon Bowersox-Johnson	Results of our short Country survey- As a starting point, we categorized countries into the following broad groups: 1) Don’t have eLMIS and would like OpenLMIS, 2) Have an eLMIS but still want OpenLMIS, 3) Are existing OpenLMIS countries that need to incorporate COVAX use cases. 1 slide update Can we start to try to match country needs with funders?

(topic to save for April meeting) IP Update		Review/launch our new Contribution Guidelines and describe to GC what it means for partners going forward
(topic to save for April meeting) Mobile App update/discussion		Update on user stories (Brandon?) our next steps- will it be in our next sprint?
(topic to save for April meeting) Comparing OpenLMIS and DHIS2 capabilities		How do we advise countries on what each system can do for them for COVID? DHIS2 has better data collection and vaccine tracking; they have an EIR-like data capture that tracks patients and their doses larger question: why are we still being reactive, we knew this vaccine would be coming and haven't been able to prepare. So DHIS2 has stepped in to fill the hole
Conferences and Meetings Conferences provide the community the opportunity for OpenLMIS members to speak or represent the OpenLMIS software and community in public forum.	All	Upcoming (Virtual) Conferences for 2020 (let's add them here!)
Opportunities documentation Definitions to use shared terminology: 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.		Country implementation opportunities: This Trello table is being updated on an ongoing basis; to help the core team to track and manage implementation opportunities, but also provides a detailed snapshot of the scope and status of current implementation opportunities for stakeholders. Community Opportunities: New Trello table! Similar to the above table, this tool is being used by the stewards to track our exploring of new product opportunities and partnerships Study Tours: Study Tours wiki page tracks applications received, study tours completed, and other key milestones related to OpenLMIS Study Tours (this activity is no longer active due to COVID-19)
