VillageReach team discussed the re-architecture effort for OpenLMIS, the Product Roadmap, and community structure, and performed a quick demo of the requisition process in OpenLMIS v3.0.

PSI. Requests from countries for supply chain automation and management. Quite often they may not have the volume or capacity, but if OpenLMIS could be integrated with DHIS2, in some countries we have sales apps that are an add-on to DHIS2.

Good to have a sense of the overall product - requests of PSI are wide-ranging. Many more requests in using DHIS2 as an integration interface - many questions around sales, mobile health technology, Greenmash, QA, supervision, referral side of things. PSI is trying to get better at saying, this is what DHIS2 is good at, and this is where it's good at interfacing.

SELV is on the table for national expansion, and from the planning workshop this week, it has increased in support and likelihood. There are several considerations around that, tied to SELV being part of the distribution system, but a lot of interest in expanding it. 

Have received some requests from openlmis.org form from Mozambique government. Needs follow up.

TBD

Expansion of SELV for vaccine management to further geographies

Uganda

CHAI

ThoughtWorks

TBD - DFID, BMGF

CHAI in partnership with ThoughtWorks working to develop a white label stock management app attached to OpenLMIS. Uganda has created a requirements document for this piece of work. Initial scope is more of a pilot - similar to CHAI Mozambique (which was developed just for Mozambique). They would test it, then look for separate scaling funding.
