Goals

Figure out:

  • when would be the best time to organize the joint session to watch mentioned materials and discuss about it

  • ideas how to organize this discussion efficiently (list of topics or questions)

  • should we invite also Malawi team?

Outcomes

  • SolDevelo will organise the sessions before the monthly integration meetings

  • The sessions will be about 2h long (roughly half of that time reserved for the training material itself and another half to discuss the content with the team)

  • During the discussion part we should compare the practices presented in the materials and our current practices - is there something we should change or adapt in the OpenLMIS context?

  • Make sure that everyone on the team takes part in the discussion (round-robin, incentives)

  • Write down the summary of the discussion on the Confluence page

  • Organise a joint session between the SolDevelo and VillageReach teams to discuss the materials and outcome of the discussion (potentially use a part of the technical comittee call time)

  • The first training sessions: Automated testing and REST

  • @Brandon Bowersox-Johnson and @Josh Zamor (Deactivated) will work together to suggest new training materials for the next months; we want to make sure that the materials are of a high quality and useful; the topic of the material should likely correspond to the current challenges in the product; the SolDevelo team should also have a voice in the choice of the material

  • Make sure to ask the team whether they feel that the material and the discussion were useful - this will give us ability to adapt the content/materials

  • The Malawi team will be invited to join the session

Action items

@Paweł Gesek and @Nikodem Graczewski (Unlicensed) to make sure we have the first training material session on October
@Brandon Bowersox-Johnson to create a Confluence page with a list of useful materials, including, but not limited to the ones coming from the Slack's #random channel
