Why are we rushing?

[Jørn Klungsøyr]

Hi,

This process is being rushed way more than I'm comfortable with!

Why is there is such an urgent rush to finish this before the mHealthSummit?

Does anybody have plans of profiling it there or what is the reason?

Best
Jørn

Hi Jorn, we are trying to use it as a forcing function to make progress.  
Additionally, i will be mentioning the goals (though not current state)  at a panel on tuesday about interoperability.   However, the goal is to make some progress as a group, the mHealth summit was a random date we could use.

Hey Jorn,

I hear where you are coming from - things have certainly been moving recently! Though I think its been over a year since the meeting last year when we tried to get these things started, and after all our OpenRosa interoperability talk, we really should have something to show interested people.

As such (repeating Jon's point) its a pressing milestone to get these out to the wider community - even if we need to improve it over time. To get out the start of the 'open rosa standard' that so many people have heardof. As we know to get something like that done requires a fair amount of pushing (thanks Anton!), but you're completely right that the urgency has to be balanced with quality - which hopefully the current process is allowing?

Do you think we can continue the current process to achieve both? (timeliness and quality!)

Also, if we can reach agreement on some APIs, it does seem to make sense to announce it at events like the summit - where most of our target audience will be captive - and may lead to more new members to improve the standards etc!

I hope you find this constructive,

Best wishes,

Kieran

Thanx Jon and Kierian,

 

Great, fully agree that it is overdue and it is great that this is being pushed forward and I very much appreciate it! So thanx to everybody for great work!!!

 

My email was probably more frustrated than it needed be, due to not having had a chance to review changes made after last  -1 vote before the weekend voting of the follow-up round (that is now resolved and I’ve voted +1).

 

If we can keep to voting in weekdays and make sure issues are resolved before a new round of vote, then that is all I’m asking for. :)

 

Yes, there will be new rounds and versions, but changing an API does have a cost once it is out there, so I would prefer issues we know of are resolved now, rather than having to change later on.

 

Have a nice day!

Best

Jørn
