Meeting Notes

Project Updates

  • VIMS-Tanzania:  USAID mission visit to TZ this week for a VIMS review.  Upcoming showcase dates include September 30 (Ministry of Health) and October 6.  JSI focusing on IVD form, reports, and demographic estimate features for VIMS.  Brian T. (PATH) will be in country to assist with the vaccine arrival module.
  • Mozambique (Renee/ThoughtWorks):  Moving into MVP next week with Android tablet interface.  Next up is adding stock management features.

DC Community Meeting

  • Please update attendance from your organization.  An accurate count is required for booking office space, rooms, and food. Ashraf will book rooms at JSI for up to 40 (20 for individual tracks). 
  • We discussed in detail the agenda and several changes were suggested, Kevin will update.  Looking for volunteer facilitators for each session.  
    • The "What is OpenLMIS" session on Monday afternoon is changed to plenary.
    • Suggestion we talk about the support model. Dykki and Darius discussed different models briefly.
    • Related to support, suggestion to identify required content and documentation, and which roles are involved.  For example, there are more roles than just "developer" and "implementer". What documentation do we want to be created and who will do this over the next year?
    • Should discuss structure for ongoing funding and budget, as well as governance for OpenLMIS growth.  These will be included in the Tuesday afternoon governance sessions.
    • Suggestion to move at least one roadmap session to Monday.  This gives us an extra night to ruminate, and eliminates some overlap on on governance sessions in both tracks
  • Ask to broadcast the sessions from both tracks
  • Ask to share the high-level roadmap ahead of the community meeting. Kevin will do this the week prior to the in-person meeting. 
  • Hotels:  Ashraf will share list of nearby hotels.  Karl will contact one and inquire about discounts.  We may book a block of rooms for known attendees - those that book later simply arrange their own accommodations.
  • We will create a shared work space for travel plans and dietary preferences
