2017-09-29 Meeting notes - learning materials

Date

29 Sep 2017

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?

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 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

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
