Hi,

I'd like to start a discussion about a few infrastructure points.

Servers

Jembi/mOASIS is able to contribute a virtual machine on Digital Ocean dedicated to the OpenMRS Mozambique initiative. The server (currently accessible at esaude.moasis.org.mz)  has two 2GHz CPU cores, 4GB of RAM and a 60GB SSD hard disk. I was thinking we could use this server to host development and support issue tracking applications.

Are any other servers available?

Website

Our website is currently on Google Sites here: https://sites.google.com/site/openmrsmozambique. This websites contains links to most of our resources and documentation.

Communication

At the moment we are using this mailing list as well as the one here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/openmrs-mozambique. Let me know if anyone thinks we need anything else.

Source Code

We have an organisation on GitHub here: https://github.com/esaude. Please could Jan, Alberto and Eurico (and anyone else that wants access) give me the names of their GitHub accounts so that I can add them to the organisation.

Is there an actual codebase (or metadata repository) that is ready to be uploaded to GitHub? I'm happy to create and manage as many repositories as we need.

There may be some GSoC projects this year that are relevant to our community, such as Bulk Data ImportDHIS2 Integration or Performance and Utilization Monitoring. If anyone has any ideas for requirements or anything else, they should feel free to contribute on the OpenMRS wiki.

Roadmap

We are currently using a Google Doc to manage our release roadmap. This roadmap can be found here: http://tiny.cc/eSaudeEMRroadmap. Does anyone have any ideas for the roadmap yet?

Issue Tracking

We are still deciding on which issue tracking system to use. For now we've ruled out JIRA (due to cost) and GitHub issues. We've had suggestion of Pivotal Tracker and Trello. There are a large number of options, but when we decide on one, I'd be happy to install it on our server and manage it.

Support

There are also quite few options for help desk software. We've had suggestions of Redmine (free), Zendesk and Desk (not free). I think osTicket (free) might also be a good option. I think it's important to choose a solution with an integrated knowledge base (i.e. wiki) in order to consolidate our community knowledge. I'm happy to install a support system on our server.

Let me know if there's anything else we should be thinking about from a technical infrastructure perspective.

Ciao,
Pascal

Hi Pascal
alberto...@yahoo.com.br is my GitHub account.
I was not able to add folks to esaude-tecnico mailing list since I don't have privilege to do that. Can someone add me as admin?
regards

Thanks Alberto, I've added you as an owner of the eSaude organisation on GitHub.

It looks like you are already an owner of this mailing list, so you should be able to invite members at this link.

Cheers,
Pascal

Okay. From what I can see you're an owner, so we need to ask for help from Jan on this.

Cheers,
Pascal
