  • Shuro - Signup for an OpenMRS ID and edit the wiki and add details to the wiki
  • Please write over email on how to use social networking tools like facebook and Google plus and how to improve communication using those tools.
    • e.g. Registration module could be one group where people can communicate about the module.
    • Using it to enhance our organizational skills.
    • Bhushan: Facebook or Google plus might be useful, but this is also a distraction from what we want to do
    • Adarsh agrees with Bhushan on this. But that these tools, like FB and Google+ would be good for a small structure. 
    • (Raj?) BaseCamp is a useful tool, but not free. People can use FreedCamp.com instead of Google Plus or Facebook
    • Raj: JIRA seems similar to Basecamp
    • Saptarshi: JIRA is very similar to Basecamp
  • Daniel  - we've had last week meeting with UX/UI team and we will collect feedback
    • we need to create tickets for the registration module given that we have nearly finished the mockups and then move to OPD, Billing and other modules.
  • Saptarshi: We want to create a projects page for the Stanford / NYU / CMU students to get involved with. Registration module can be one of the projects. Thought about the importer thing... The importer being importing records into the existing database structure.
  • Shuro - people need to own module co-ordination roles
    • this may be a role that will not take a lot of time, but take care on what is happening in the module, if things are moving forward correctly.
    • Daniel - We want to ask people now to take responsibility for the modules
    • Adarsh - I would like to look at IPD module co-ordination
    • Raj - I would like to look at the Registration module co-ordination
    • Shivaram - Is it going to be 1yr, 3yr, 5yr project? what is the timeline??
      • Daniel: The shared Google docs folder has the details of the phases. Although aggresive, we have a timeline on the calendar. Within a yr or so, we want to have a working product.
