Apologies, I will miss today’s call.

This was not my airplane, but it did lead to an extra 7 hour delay, getting to my hotel at 6am, and really needing to sleep tonight so a 9:30pm call is out.

Glad to hear you’re safe and sound… sorry for the delay, but sounds like it could have been much worse! Take care.

I thought I would be able to make it to the call today, but I’m still in meetings here in Mozambique. Looks like I won’t be available. Apologies.

FYI it was August 4th and not 8th if you are simply adding 1 week to next week’s email :slight_smile: Andrew S. Kanter, MD MPH FACMI

Shouldn’t this fall under the infra team, not leadership? I think our systems work fine. UberConference works, everything works as-is. I’d love to see us find an alternative to Atlassian products though.

Here’s something related to communication that doesn’t currently meet our needs:

I’m not sure if it was discussed though.

I hate these calls. I don’t view them as transparent.

Re: that request from @ssmusoke, modulus could have an RSS feed of recent releases…not sure if it does already.

Hi Jamie I won’t be able to make the OpenMRS leads call this evening. I am delayed returning home and won’t be back in time Thanks Chris

I think the atlassian products works but, the implementation of them its the bad part.

It’s not solely that – it’s the fact we should be embracing open source solutions, not proprietary. This is the same reason I’ve been pushing for 100% transparency.

I do agree with open source but, what applications are open source and can replace all the atlassian tools we use? Also have everyone learn this tool.
