ODK TAB Call - 2022-06-08

[Florian_May]

These calls bring together the Technical Advisory Board for the ODK suite (@TAB) to discuss roadmaps, working groups, and other issues of technical governance. Everyone is welcome to come to these calls, but only TAB members may talk.

The calls are held every four weeks in our Dialpad room. We put the agenda, audio, and transcript of every call in this document.

Our next call will be Wed, June 8, 2022. The meeting time should be shown in your timezone above.

The agenda is tentatively as follows:

• Warm up: The next ODK Convening is happening in your town. What’s your favourite tourist attraction you’ll show us?
• Review action items from last meeting
  • Migrate Build (staging first) to docker-compose - pair Yaw with Florian
  • Enketo testing options (Helene/Tino)
    • H: share message describing current testing needed
• Welcome to our new TAB members!
  • Onboarding: check write permissions and access to TAB documents

The agenda can also be seen in the agenda document

I'd like @LN to join us to discuss what's coming in Central v2022.3.

• We'll be adding datasets (see v2022.3 release criteria) that lets users flow data between forms.
• Our initial goal is to automate baseline/follow-up style workflows. For example, going from registration to a dataset for use in a follow up as described in the encounters with known entities section of data collector workflows doc.
• And of course, we have an XLSForm/XForm spec for adding entities to a dataset via form submission.

I can provide a quick on-the-record update to the domain name and trademark issues we've been working through and answer any questions the TAB has about that.

I'd also like to propose we remove Roadmap review from the agenda template. Rather, the most important roadmap item should be put on the agenda by a core team member for discussion.
