OpenLMIS v3

Rich

  • Sprint showcase recording and stats available at Project Management

  • Likely moving to Wednesdays - will send update

 

 

 

  • Any experience with the logical reference model?

    • Elias involved in E2E effort earlier, may have influenced the doc

    • Is v3 meant to conform/utilize GS1? No, but it is a goal. We will be mindful of it when creating schema and API.

    • Ask for tech committee to review the USAID document - how should OpenLMIS be influenced by this?

 

Roundtable

 

  • CHAI-MOZ project entering phase 3, progressing nicely. Progress on cube-based reporting. Building UI (amcharts) to visualize report data. Supports useful charts, like week-by-week stock out information for facilities. Another example: tracer drugs. ~24 drugs id'd by MoH to track for availability. Shortages indicate an incident, and attention required. Monthly consumption report of drugs by each facility is a third report. Creating reports is relatively easier, but building a view by hand has been time consuming - considering ETL to help.

    • Pengfei showed a live demo of the reports, including the JSON data

  • VIMS/eLMIS: finished user training, incorporating feedback

 

Decision making

 

  • Questions/decisions to the tech committee can start in a Tech Committee meeting or Google Group. It should be clear that decision or action is required of the Tech committee with a date needed by (at least several days).

  • Normal discussion ensues. If consensus is reached, great. If consensus is split, each Member should express a preference/vote, and a simple majority decides the issue

 

OpenLMIS/open-lmis repo

 

  • v3 will need a repository that acts as the reference distribution, essentially a docker compose of all services, supporting containers (like DB, reverse proxy, logger) and UI. Should this be a new repository or update the existing OpenLMIS/open-lmis repo?

    • Elias: since there is no service or repo that is core/central to the application, a new repository makes sense.

    • Agreement from Jeff

    • Josh: what should it be named?

      • Chongsun: should be something descriptive, that stands out from all the others, easy to find. Should be devoid of version numbers.

      • Josh will propose name for the new repo. We do not need the repo immediately and can always be renamed as the project develops
