Introductions and call opening Agenda review March Governance Notes March 20, 2018	Carl Leitner
Community Document Review Governance charter vote OpenLMIS Trusted Partner Applying to be a Trusted Partner	Carl Leitner	Voting process Kaleb: Using forms was an easier process for voting Question remaining: Do we do two rounds? Tenly sent three reminders for voting. Other question: Changing meeting cadence to every two months? Preference for maintaining monthly cadence. Could potentially change the meeting structure or focus. Gavi, CHAI, VillageReach, and USAID are missing from the vote. Please get votes in by the end of the week. Brandon - VR LB - USAID Kaleb - Gates Edward - JSI Matt - Ona Satish - CHAI Carl - Digital Square ? - PATH (country programs) Clarify who gets the reminder to vote Action item: Trusted Partner document review Edward, Tenly, Matt, Carl - review documents next week
Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC) Update OpenLMIS Sustainability Conversation	Tenly Snow (Deactivated)	Tenly had a conversation with SFC Executive Director last week to discuss initial steps to hosting the OpenLMIS trademark. SFC is still working with DIAL to determine their price structure Participation in the "Starter Kit" would be sponsored by DIAL and free for OpenLMIS (at least initially) Concern/question is whether bringing in another party to the conversation would clarify or complicate the situation Pending results of sustainability conversation - may influence the way we think about the trademarking conversation. Questions around the license as well. Jake led a conversation around sustainability. Dialogue around the work that Jake had done with Heath. Matt - Key thing that Kaleb flagged is being better about defining our value proposition. Carl - Will not be doing, at least right now: Taking OpenLMIS to non-health sectors, not enough information to say that the investment would be worthwhile. Ruled out closed-sourcing as well. Kaleb - A good conversation. With Jake's transition it's upon the Governance committee to lay out a road map or set up questions that we need external assistance or capabilities to help us answer. Build on the presentation that was led by Jake. Is it worth sharing the business models? Understand licensing and trademarking and how that fits. How permissive the open source license structures are for SaaS, other business models. Can DIAL or SFC help with thinking through that? As Governance, would like us to lay out those key questions and the roadmap of what needs to be answered. Kaleb has also talked with Paul Biondich, we might have a conversation later this spring to talk about OpenLMIS. Private sector channels. Smaller sub-set of cases. Need to do more deep work consistently over the next year. Carl - One of the goals is to reduce donor dependency over the next few years. Kaleb says yes. He doesn't expect that funding will come miraculously and that we can shift our role from having to cover the bulk of implementation costs but then could shift toward enabling environment costs - harder to pay for out of implementation budgets. Part of this would shift the role of what they would/could finance. Look at where it's harder to get resourcing and funding. Even with USAID it may be harder to get core community costs. Include these considerations in the roadmap for sustainability. Actions: High-level roadmap - the steps we need to take Get us together onto a common path, get together high-level questions Edward, Jake, Kaleb, Carl, Matt - Google Doc
Gavi demo readout Overview: Opportunities for coordination and webinars with country level staff and teams. TPP for Gavi: Feedback due yesterday Trip report: 2018 OpenLMIS Advocacy Trip Report	Mary Jo Kochendorfer (Deactivated)	Will also do webinars Will do more detailed feature-based webinars in early May
Mapping OpenLMIS features to SCOR What is SCOR and value in doing the mapping, check out this presentation by Satish (CHAI). Current draft status here. Accepting feedback and support currently.	Mary Jo Kochendorfer (Deactivated)	Will be meeting with a SCOR "expert" next week and will also be reaching out to Derrick Ritz Work in progress but it's an important effort to have a shared way to communicate the value-add of OpenLMIS Carl: Once the SCOR mapping gets finalized will it be included in the wiki or how will it be disseminated? Augmenting wiki page to add more information about "what is SCOR" etc.
All-Community Meeting	Tenly Snow (Deactivated)	Ideas on location? Planning committee Alpha - talked with Alfred and had a meeting at the MOH as well Mentioned to them for a potential for holding the meeting in TZ Alpha suggested to Alfred - run the meeting through the MOH? Could get senior officials and management to participate in the meeting. In terms of officiating the meeting. Not hold it at Dar es Salaam. Have a side discussion? Use MOH venues or MOH institutions like NIMRI. Can have big meeting rooms with reasonable costs. Instead of U of Dar. Brandon - Does that feedback include Dlab is at U of Dar. There is an issue between Dar and the department of computer science. Carl - Alternative to hosting in TZ Edward - CdI has an implementation of the older version of eLMIS, could also hold it there. JSI hosted a WA VAN conference in CdI. UNFPA SWEDD project, Gates SOLV, WAHO folks. Matt - CdI has Matt's vote Planning committee: Reach out to Tenly
Opportunities update roundtable	Carl Leitner facilite Brandon Edward Wilson Matt Berg Satish Choudhury	Mozambique (SIGLUS) Cameroon Cote d'Ivoire DRC Benin Angola Guiana(?) Edward Wilson? Other? Carl - additional note on Angola. Tech camp looking at interoperability between DHIS2 and OpenLMIS. MoH has established a review process to manage the digital healt hsystems prioritizing OHIE compliant facility registry, DHIS2 would serve that role (along with HMIS), as OPenLMIS moves forward would draw from the facility registry Asking for additional support on actually deploying the facility registry (will happen this summer, later this year) Edward - very interested in CdI, if there's something to be engaged with in CdI. Guiana - May be work funded by PAHO, looking for funding for the rest of it. They may be re-engaging in the conversations.
