30 m	How translations work for Angola	Mateusz Kwiatkowski	https://forum.openlmis.org/t/translation-customization/5130
1 m	Collecting notes on next steps on reporting stack	Josh Zamor (Deactivated)	We have: Production Readiness 2/2 - OLMIS-6182 - Getting issue details... STATUS Data pumps Reduce brittleness Streamline how data moves How could we apply the strangler pattern to move incrementally to a different approach Can we focus everything into production readiness #2 epic?
10m	Angola - domain model design for new Stock on Hand work	Sebastian Brudziński	https://forum.openlmis.org/t/calculating-stock-on-hand/5124
(next time)	PouchDB and flaky tests	Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed)	Testing that involves the wrapper for PouchDB causes the UI tests to be flaky (what we sometimes refer to as random failures): Can we improve the reliability? Is our PouchDB wrapper good? Is it a leaky abstraction? etc Are we favoring coverage > reliability? (more to add)

Simplest and cleanest solution has been the one transifex project where every other source project is mashed together
- It's short (34) because in the final angola UI it merges / overrides those from core's reference UI and it's components.
- Only works for UI messages, no need yet for backend solution came up yet.
Factors in using Tx:
- slow release cycle in core
  - between speeding up release cycle and disconnecting from the release cycle, we tend to prefer disconnecting from the release cycle.
- also possibly all PT users agreeing that this Angola PT translation is the right one
  - This happened for english in Malawi (e.g. Requisition → LMIS Form)
  - Current solution is to put those in the implementation specific Tx project in Angola, Malawi overrode it and have it in the code base
  - Tx has some support for this, however we need to research this more.
- Angola added a couple new messages (e.g. contact support)

Mateusz Kwiatkowski to write up the issue for researching different versions of same lang in Tx support
Josh Zamor (Deactivated) to write up some next steps on the topic of disconnecting translations from release cycle for implementations
Chongsun Ahn (Unlicensed) to followup on SoH data model timezone thoughts in forum post
