1. **Title.** Architecture proposal: Modules and Verticals
2. **Description.** I’ve drafted a [proposal](https://stderr.brandonistenes.com/openmrs-architecture-proposal-modules-verticals/) for OpenMRS architecture, about which there is an ongoing [talk thread](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/openmrs-architecture-proposal-modules-and-verticals/21253). I advocate defining a single, universal configuration mechanism. This will encourage better software practices, make OpenMRS easier to use, and strengthen the community’s ability to support it.I’m soliciting community feedback so that it can evolve to be something with enough force and buy-in behind it to make it happen.
3. **Required attendee(s).** All interested. Would be good to have the folks from the talk thread, @mksd, @mogoodrich, @dkayiwa, @mseaton . Also @burke and @darius if available.
4. **Desired timing.** Next available slot.
