The main project roadmap

Alessandro Domanico

We went through the OpenHospital roadmap, since version 1.8.4 (monolithic, hosted on SourceForge) to the 1.10.0 (multi-component, hosted on GitHub) and its reduced technical debt, thanks to the hard community work, and by finalizing the two Epics goals “Vezo” and “Adwa”.

What is missing to release 1.11.0?

We briefly discussed the current Sprint n.5, which is about to be closed with its OP-06 almost done. David B Malkovsky and Emerson Castaneda are working on it.

After that we will open Sprint n.6, and the duration will be sized on the previous 3 sprint velocity, for a maximum of 2 months. This Sprint will include:

• The 18 issues already marked as v1.11.0
  Highlights:

  • Java8 (OP-224) Tomasz Tokarczyk

  • Report Java6 discontinuity (OP-228) Alessandro Domanico

• Spring5 (OP-101) and Date & Time Typing (OP-282) Paolo Viotti

• More?

  • File-based DB for portable version

  • Telemetry script to collect info on users' setups

  • Renovated “gui” (look&feel)

React Frontend “ui”

Henrique de Almeida Riccardo Costa

Henrique and Riccardo presented the ongoing developments of the new “ui” which issues are enclosed in a dedicated kanban
https://openhospital.atlassian.net/secure/RapidBoard.jspa?rapidView=5

For its developments the API have been updated to the latest OP-6 branch and are available online at https://www.open-hospital.org/oh-api/swagger-ui.html

For developing purposes, it is suggested to disable web-security in the browser (see example for Chrome). In the future the back-end Spring Security should be adjusted https://openhospital.atlassian.net/browse/OP-306

Paolo Viotti Alessandro Domanico

The actual website has not been updated in a very long time, probably due to lack of time and/or people skilled in WordPress. Also, at the moment it is missing an accountable person for it. A proposal could be to move the website under a repository and to have a minimum (or eventually complex) website on GitHub pages, whose code would be hosted as any other project's code (example here and here) and to manage changes with issues and PR. This would transfer the website ownership back to the project's opensource community itself.

It was pointed out that it might be useful to re-think the very goal of the website, and maybe even have two different web sites: one targeted to users and developers, and another geared towards a broader audience and generally aimed at advertising the project itself.
