Chemonics / GHSC-PSM | VillageReach | SIGLUS evaluation for upgrade to OpenLMIS v3 in Mozambique | VillageReach submitted a proposal in response to RFP #PSM-MOZ-RFP-007 Mozambique SIGLUS Technical Assessment for OpenLMIS v3 Upgrade on April 25, 2018 and submitted a 'best and final' proposal on May 30, 2018. As of June 18, 2018, VillageReach is optimistic that Chemonics is preparing contract documents to move ahead with this engagement. VillageReach's proposal includes some mobile software development support from both Ona and ThoughtWorks. The scope of the proposal is an assessment, not including any software development activities, but we sought out technical support because the scope does include creating detailed specifications and recommending work plans for software development activities. Note: The opportunity to upgrade SIGLUS in Mozambique may also dovetail with the opportunity to upgrade SELV (the Vaccine/EPI instance of OpenLMIS in Mozambique) by trying to align with other funders and projects including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. |
Chemonics / GHSC-PSM | VillageReach | OpenLMIS implementation in Angola | VillageReach and JSI are continuing a dialogue with Chemonics about a possible scope of work for a first preparatory phase of an implementation of OpenLMIS v3. VillageReach previously contributed to a Readiness Assessment, and there are a number of areas to address to lay the groundwork for a successful implementation. Update 18/June/2018: VillageReach is partnering with JSI to help support this SOW. We have come to agreement with Chemonics on a final SOW and specific deliverables, and now are working on finalizing budgets and trip planning to move towards contract signing. |

Discussed potential ideas
Questions for Michael: What is the timeline for spending the money? Todo: need to come up with a way for the open-source community to vote or weigh in on what proposal we put forth. See below for notes. Notes: Other open source communities have a process for overall community voting. Within that, some organization or person will write the proposal and receive the funding on behalf of the Community. At the end of that there should be Community feedback - we achieved what we set out to do. Tentative process for community involvement in ideas and voting (which needs to be written up)

Opportunities Visualization
Goal: The goal behind visualizing inquiries and opportunities into OpenLMIS is to have:
A) An historical sense of the geographic and organizational interest in OpenLMIS
B) To inform activities to better target geographies and organizations in order to achieve further implementation of OpenLMIS
C) Increase transparency of opportunity-sharing to raise awareness of opportunities within the OpenLMIS Community and to facilitate responses on behalf of implementing partners.
Initial opportunities visualizations were created using the Tableau Public site (https://public.tableau.com/en-us/s/)

- OpenLMIS inquiries by country (bar graph)
