Hey [@Radar](https://talk.openmrs.org/groups/Radar) team, let’s try to get together and update our [radar](http://radar.openmrs.org) for 2017. - We’ve updated our [radar.openmrs.org](http://radar.openmrs.org) to use ThoughtWorks newer [build-your-own-radar](https://github.com/thoughtworks/build-your-own-radar) - Our [spreadsheet](http://om.rs/radardata), the data behind our radar, is updated and a new tab ready for us to review. - We created a [Technology Radar](https://talk.openmrs.org/groups/Radar) group in Talk for people will to help guide the community in technology decisions. We’ll use an upcoming [design forum](http://om.rs/d) with the goal to get our radar updated during that call. If you have thoughts/suggestions on items that should be added to our radar during this round, please share them here. ---

Thanks to everyone who joined [today’s design forum](https://notes.openmrs.org/2017-09-11-Design-Forum) to update our OpenMRS radar. ### Our goal is to publish 2017 Q3 Radar within 2 weeks (before September ends) We got through and made decisions on most everything for 2017 Q3 recommendations. I later updated our spreadsheet to provide automatic (or manual via HTML → Preview) previews of descriptions in a sidebar. 🙂 ### Outstanding To Dos for [om.rs/radardata](http://om.rs/radardata) - @darius to check whether additional distros should be included - @darius to add link to information about & to track Bahmni governance updates - @burke (or @dkayiwa or @ssmusoke) to make sure we update Ref Application descriptions (one for RefApp as demo and second for RefApp as basis of custom EMR development) - @dkayiwa to provide updated link – if needed – to starting point for OWA development - @mogoodrich to provide better description for Metadata Mapping ### We need everyone’s input! Are there additional technologies not yet included on [OpenMRS Radar](http://om.rs/radar) that we haven’t yet included? If there are new technologies being used by or highly relevant to the OpenMRS Community that we’re missing, please help let us know. ---

I haven’t seen any edits of [om.rs/radardata](http://om.rs/radardata) or gotten comments since we met on 11 Sept. **To meet our goal of publishing an updated Radar by the end of this month, I’m going to update [OpenMRS Radar](http://radar.openmrs.org/) with our changes this weekend.** I updated the Reference Application descriptions (and surprised myself when my little HTML Preview feature actually proved useful by helping me discover a typo in the descriptions 😉 ). If @darius wants to add distros or add a link to Bahmni governance updates, @dkayiwa wants to provide a link to starting OWA development, or @mogoodrich wants to provide a better description for Metadata Mapping, you can still do that (even after it’s published). \We should consider commenting on Docker in the next version of our Radar\
