  • (3) Module-specific
    • Registration:( Nathan+Shuro ) Start of sprint for the Registration module; about ten people signed up. More can come anytime!  All current participants are signed up to the Registration Google group. Daily five-minute Scrums are held and issues discussed by listserv. 
      • In general, people are getting work done on Sencha framework, 
      • 6 people assigned to MVC+Screen tickets, 5 people assigned to test tickets
      • Sign up for the Registration Google Group if you'd like to keep tabs on the sprint's progress
    • UI/UX: Susan, back in the US now, has posted UI/UX common widget document that needs to be addressed.  Jesse and Ashmita have signed onto the OPD module to work with Darrian, who has been working away incorporating the feedback on designs. Darrian has added new interaction screens to DropBox.  Susan has reviewed the UI/UX designs for the Registration module and that feedback can be seen on the JIRA tickets.
    • Pharmacy: Saptarshi, getting iDART installed.
    • Lab: (Roger) More progress on the Lab backend and taskflows are getting clarified. Great job, Jinhua, for making lots of progress here! Progress on wireframes. Would be helpful to get more back-end work done first
    • IVR:  (Shuro)  IIT has set up MoTeCH, but unfortunately cannot SSH out or in, or between dorms; Working around this problem now.
    • CHW (Judy) Haven't tried MoTech 2.0 yet; Most Community Health programs are very focused/limited.  Maternal health only, HIV only.  Need to get someone as a replacement for Naval, to help address CHW user story.


  • Other discussion
    • Collaborative Map. Use this as a "markup" map to label OPD, Pharmacy, lab, etc.. Especially useful for Community Health module @Ganiari, can label locations of all the key buildings
    • Also could put a map of all the "collaborators" on the project. Would be fun to see where everyone comes from.
