2020 October 14 Tech Committee Meeting notes

• Service is able to find the extension module (jar, classes, etc)
• Extension module isn't able to find the interface (when the module is loaded at run-time).
• left:
  • re-introduce the maven publishing and promoting with spring boot 2
  • extension needs to find the service's extension interface

Moving beyond the example service exemplar:

• lets sunset the example service in favor of using a real service:  stockmanagement
• keep the example-extension and example-extensions - lets rename for stock mgmt

• We need a process:
  • Our old process:  https://openlmis.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AYBSS
  • Example service is the exemplar of the failure
  • EOL of Angular is still approaching
  • Prioritize at the beginning of every release
  • For build infra, we've added a small portion of Damian's time.
    • Could we replicate this and find another expert / focus person on a specific aspect (e.g. Angular)

Wes expressed concerns:

• Perceived progress - that we wouldn't show any in a release
• That if we improve something, that the handover partner might discard OpenLMIS entirely.  Or they might keep it, and really ramp up their investment in tech debt.
