• We are getting close to 3.3 and we are working to demo the release the same week as the release at GAVI.
• We changed scope for the release to more clearly identify target features.
• The primary remaining effort focuses on Resupply
• Fulfillment features for 3.3: (Graphic to left)
  • In the future OpenLMIS will allow users to track stock management and click a button to create a requisition. Historically, OpenLMIS was focused on requisitions to request a resupply.
  • We have streamlined the requisition process and generate an order calculated based on a target Ideal Stock Amounts (ISAs).
  • When we fulfill the orders, there is a cold chain equipment integration so the user can make decisions on the current cold chain equipment status
• Resupply entails the full chain events from creating an order to receiving it.
• Questions:
  • Ashraf: What will happen if a country doesn't have a remote monitoring system for the cold chain?
  • Is there an alternative method for updating the cold chain equipment information?
    • Answer:There is a header bar in the fulfillment screens that are under development. The current state is a manual input by users right now. The new feature is an integration and a flag that can be added to this screen, that an alert went off. It doesn't directly update the status. If the user sees the flag, they can make a phone call, navigate the cold chain equipment inventory and perform human processes to identify ground truth.
  • Have we incorporated bundling in the fulfillment process?
    • They are called "kits" in the system which is a future feature that has been requested. Support for kits will not be released in the 3.3 release, but it will be added to the backlog so we can prioritize it. You have to ensure the product model is configured appropriately to do this
• Vaccine documentation from the stakeholder group needs to be updated. The scope needs to be updated showing what has been delivered to this point.

High level overview of the proof of concept

• Ordering a resupply from the mobile app 
• Receiving Shipment Information from OpenLMIS and applying it to OpenSRP mobile app

Ashraf: asked about what the full features within OpenSRP? Do they track immunizations? 

Ashraf: will you be submitting the total amount of immunizations back into OpenLMIS? In my experience this information is needed during the fulfillment

Craig/MJ: it is on the roadmap and needs more discussion on priority.

• What is the best process for managing the OpenLMIS long-term roadmap?
• The long-term roadmap is generally for unfunded requests
• This helps:
  • Community identify priorities
  • Community seek additional funding
  • Implementers can voice their priorities or contribute back features
• The Living Product Roadmap is different. It focuses on what we have funding for building
• New feature requests can be suggested as outlined in the OpenLMIS Contribution Guide
• ← Gap Analysis, Enhancing EPI Features and New requests from Malawi: We have a challenge identifying scope across multiple places in the wiki. We would like to have a more unified place.
  • In many ways it's easier to build a list at the time a request for the product roadmap is made.
• Request: Are there any volunteers to discuss this approach? We would like to hold a call to discuss it in the coming week.
  • Chifundo
  • Christine

• We would like to demonstrate the DISC indicators in the reporting structure. We reached out to the Tanzania teams to identify if they could share their data.
• The team is trying to finalize the formal request and get the organizations responsible in Tanzania to send it to the Ministry. The drafted request is being reviewed and we hope to send it to the Ministry by the end of the week.
• There are a number of processes that this needs to go through, so we are not able to estimate the timeline.
• Question from Mary Jo: What else can be done to speed up this request? Can we provide other information?
  • There is a meeting tomorrow to clarify this with groups in Tanzania and generate the request.

Two Quick Requests

Market Research: What other systems should we be following and keeping up with?

Expanding number of implementation support: Other partners and players in the electronic LMIS space? Or technology vendors we should be aware of?

Dercio submitted a general OpenLMIS abstract. Chris Opit (Unlicensed) did you or anyone at JSI submit an abstract? Is it related OpenLMIS?

Ashraf to follow up with Chris and see.

Another potential topic is to discuss what we plan to demo to GAVI and get feedback.

Another topic could be reviewing the proposed long-term roadmap of features
