The following are basic steps for the Community to propose and vote on projects or activities that respond to opportunities for funding software development or related technical tasks in OpenLMIS. These steps will be used for each new funding opportunity, with new labels and timelines created for each potential funding opportunity.

Create an Epic / Story in Jira with the proposed scope of work including the following points:
- Benefit / Goals
- Scope
- Participants
- Any blockers for completion
Label the Epic with DialOscJune18
Broadcast the Jira link on the Technical and Product committee forums
During the voting period, Community members can vote for the proposal they think should be the top priority, or "winner." Jira will only allow one vote per issue, per user; however, voting on more than one issue is allowed.
Vote by using the Jira voting function (on the right-hand side of the screen when viewing an issue, must be logged in. See example below)
All proposals may be viewed with this filter.
