All,

I do not feel like we came to consensus for the timing of the ODK 2.0 developer calls, so we will be starting the developer calls in December. This will hopefully give people a chance to confirm that future developer calls will everyone’s schedules.

One area of concern was that @johnhbenetech requested 8am-4pm Pacific Standard Time (PST); however, both call times are outside of the requested window. The first call of the month is at 7am PST and the second call is 8pm PST. The hour earlier also helped but did not solve @litlfred request at 8/9am Eastern Standard Time (EST). Perhaps a second option set would be better?

Option 1 possible times:
2nd Tuesday of Month, 15:00-16:00 UTC (7am PST)
4th Tuesday of Month, 04:00-05:00 UTC (8pm PST)

Option 2 possible times:
2nd Tuesday of Month, 14:00-15:00 UTC (6 am PST)
4th Tuesday of Month, 01:00-02:00 UTC (5 pm PST)

I think option 2 helps @litlfred but not @johnhbenetech. Does shifting the evening call earlier help @johnhbenetech? Hopefully either of the second Tuesday options will work for @berpita and @bs since it’s only an hour difference in the late afternoon/early evening. Will this change work for you?

The first ODK 2.0 developer meeting will be on Tuesday, December 12th at a time that will be set in the next two weeks.

We will likely be using Open Data Kit’s Uber Conference for consistency within the ODK project unless someone has a better idea? Link: https://www.uberconference.com/opendatakit

Both those options work for me. I'll refrain from a preference, since @johnhbenetech and @litlfred seem to be those most affected.

I can try the 7am PST time. I will be on the train, but can mute when I'm not talking.

Hi All,
I can make the Option 1, 7am PST without a problem and Option 2, 6am PST. Please note that I will be traveling for the OpenMRS meeting on December 12th, and am not 100% sure I would be able to make the first meeting.

Cheers,

Dec 12th Meeting Summary:

ODK 2.0.2 rev 218 has been released: ODK 2.0 Tool Suite Release - v2.0.2

The next round of development will focus on a new PC tool called ODK Deploy to replace Application Designer. The goal is to make it easier for users to create forms and design application screens.

In January a documentation push will begin with the plan to use sphinx to match ODK 1's documentation.

The following features were discussed in hopes of 1) better understanding community priority and 2) find synergy between groups to possibly work together:

  1. ODK Deploy
  2. Documentation
  3. Data Filter Query Improvement
  4. DHIS2 Integration
  5. "Async Assign" Feature Redesign

Shoot, sorry I missed this. Thanks for posting the recording. I'm very interested to see the direction ODK Deploy goes. I would have added my vote for DHIS2 Integration, so I'm glad to see it here.

Does this mean the next meeting will be Tuesday the 26th 15:00-16:00 UTC? I'll be there.

Looking forward to attending one of these, but that's 2am Melbourne time, so i'll check out the recording :slight_smile:

Cheers, Ben

Unfortunately I'm in a similar boat, and I'll be in the middle of work for the call today. I do plan on taking a look at the recording though

I would like to understand regarding any technical contributions needed for any of the tool with an aim to propose it as a project under GSOC 2018.
Is there any possibility for discussion regrading the same?

As part of the agenda there is time set aside "Identify and prioritize features or areas that need improvement" when we will hopefully be discussing needed contributions.

As a reminder ODK 2 tool suite (Survey, Tables, Services, Scan, Sensors, Suitcase) is different than ODK 1 tool suite (Collect, Briefcase, XLSForm).
