Gap analysis project update Vote to approve the Gap Project Roadmap 7/8 votes received, of those who voted, 100% pass Reminder that the gap project does not currently address the Interfaces workstream. This workstream requires further discussion before beginning work. Slide deck	Mary Jo Kochendorfer (Deactivated)	Mary Jo: Still working with team leads in the gap project around the Interface approach. Reframing with hope to clarify and present more information to Governance so they can review, ask questions, and approve. Brandon: Better to take time to get aligned and do it right the first time. Josh Zamor (OpenLMIS Architect) is on STTA to TZ for approx. 2 weeks. Have great input from team leads but need to come together with the Architect and all leads to dialogue. Can't schedule until early July. Letting group know that this is somewhat delayed due to travel. Next Governance call can have a more comprehensive update on the full project. Visit Product Committee notes can see sprint notes and links to feature work currently underway.
Sustainability project update	Brandon Bowersox-Johnson	Kaleb Brownlow (Unlicensed) will also provide an update/discussion next week. Approx. a month ago - Governance approved the sustainability work including an outside vendor to lead us through the process. Work now is to refine and narrow the list. Last step was asking members to submit a list of vendors. 3 vendors submitted. Kaleb and Brittney are going to review and select a vendor. Want to make sure that Governance members are seeing the updates, feel like we're pulling together, let Brandon Bowersox-Johnson know if the right information isn't being shared. Edward: Don't remember seeing anything about this recently. Don't recall the request for vendors. Tenly Snow (Deactivated) to verify Google Forum list and follow up with Brandon Bowersox-Johnson and Kaleb Brownlow (Unlicensed).
SoftWorks presentation and expression of intent Final Trusted Partner document Presentation Written expression of intent	Mahmudul Islam (SoftWorks CEO)	Brandon: Used primarily open source stack. OpenLMIS is easy to use with Docker. Having experience with Android apps, your team may be able to jump into development. Do you feel like there is support needed from OpenLMIS in using Java, Spring, RestFUL APIs, etc.? Need further materials and support? Mahmud: We would definitely need assistance to join the Community and be comfortable to start developing/understanding the software. Schedule sessions where SoftWorks learns the tech stack. No experience in microservices. Edward: Interested in hearing more about the content of the work. Have you implemented requisition workflow management? Resupply calculations? Or mostly indicator calcluations, dashboards, etc. Have you done any work developing facility level inventory management systems? Mahmud: In some countries, resupply requests are part of the dashboard. Data entry starts with the POD/LMIS report to submit the previous period's stock status and request for resupply. In Liberia, in May, the dashboard includes the whole cycle of resupply request, approval, data capture. In Bangladesh, 21 warehouses and 488 sub-district stores where commodities are stored (approx. 250. Family planning specific). Offline inventory management system working. Product issue is done electronically. All data is also synced to the central dashboard. Namibia: Facility electronic stock card for 40 central level hospitals. Inventory management software in the hospital stores. Manual sync (not automatic). Generate a monthly report and upload to dashboard.
