Release 2.0.1

Jake Watson (Deactivated) suggests that the product committee form releases in the future.

Re-arch

Jake Watson (Deactivated) covers the re-arch, that it's occurring the week of MAr 28th. Held in Seattle. Jake and Darius co-facilitating the discussion of architecture, design, and possibly use-cases.

After the design session, VR will do further refinement on estimations to submit a proposal to gates to accelerate the development of "v3". Attendees should be VR, PATH, TW, CHAI... JSI couldn't attend.

Chris George (Unlicensed) asks if there has been an avenue to submit their architectures. Jake Watson (Deactivated) says not really, the venue for that will be this meeting. There will be a technical readout and be opened up for future discussion

GeoJSON

Elias Muluneh walks through the upload of GeoJSON from the Admin → Manage → Geographic Zones

Intended to be a one time type of operation

Select which level and upload the file

Drag geo data from file to matching zone in DB.

There is a problem with rendering shape files in the browser with just HTML5. GeoJSON was much better supported.

Jake Watson (Deactivated) thinks that spatial queries and visualizations are needed for various future OpenLMIS problems.

Chris George (Unlicensed) shares Nyaruka's GeoJSON dataset: https://github.com/nyaruka/posm-extracts/tree/master/geojson

Jake Watson (Deactivated): if there is a way to geo-tag collected data, it's easy to use in a report later. Design should have a focus on enabling spatial queries.

Final question:

Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) asks about the 2.0-moz branch, and if we can move it off into it's own repo. Chris George (Unlicensed) says he'll followup soon, and that their goal is to get back on the latest release v2.0.1. There is a question about the migrations (from serial to timestamp)... (hard to hear)

Action items

Chris George (Unlicensed) and Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to followup on moving 2.0-moz to a new branch
Josh Zamor to followup with Jeff Xiong (Unlicensed) about adopting Google Code standard.
