•  
  Telugu Translation
• Database of locales that Mifos supports. If want to add a new one, just add the reference around it. 
• Add in the change to accept that locale - 
• Can add it into 2.1.5 and could patch it into other branches. 
• https://groups.google.com/d/topic/mifosdeveloper/3E46dw_Iui8/discussion
• Action: Inform TWN that check-ins should go into Elsie F release
• Currently going into Mifos 2.2 release. 
  Getting G Release to a full release
  Some issues with G release compiling in Eclipse
• Michael V to follow up on it.
• No major bugs currently
• BIRT Exception when starting up in Tomcat (but not Jetty)
• Action: Who's using BIRT
• Would be useful to remove but probably a headache for many customers. 
  Update from Andrew
• Will be looking for other bugs to work on
• Colleague, John will be joining over next semester
• Action: Ed to post his screencasts in a good location.
  Update from Keith
• In next 2 - 3 days, will have enough functionality to demonstrate
• Security, loans/client functionality, migration/bulk upload
• Little bit of reporting as well.
• Would then like to get close to actual customers who are in the individual methodology.
• Set them up and get their data to have hands-on usage and see if it's something they'd use day to day.
• After that, open part, APIs and exposing services then work on a proper UI, using some of these services.
  Update from Krishnan
• Getting a beta version ready to see all the important concepts trying to implement in an end to end fashion
• Handle transactions, processes financial transactions from Mifos, creates vouchers, creates reports - basic interface for accountant as user.
• This would be different than any other system where accountant is not the primary user of MIS. 
• Most MIS fall short of requirements for accountant - handle anything that MIS can provide. 
• Some time next week, do a demonstration on a skype conference - host something on a url that people can log into and understand.
• Put word out to the university students this past week - will probably receive a response later this week
• Next Steps: put together a small set of tasks for them to participate in. 
  Update from Ed
• Documentation sprint underway
  Upgrading MFIs to current versions of Mifos
• Should encourage this strongly
• Any way we can incentivize MFIs to get the upgrade done.
• Experiences so far
• Stephen Kaufman and IAS - upgrade didn't work directly from doing the deployment - not working out of the box, some issues with MySQL case sensitivity
• Have a dump of their database for 2.1.5 and 2.2 - to verify that.
• Waiting for Justin from Model Metrics - will do upgrade 
• Kenya MFIs
• Give them a dump of their database to see if there would be problems upgrading.
• Not much of an update since last conversations
• Once look at their DB, see if there are any issues.
• Can then just follow steps for the upgrade - only 2.0 upgrade is a bit time consuming.
• Krishnan: can we get more volunteers in each region to provide more immediate help to get upgraded. 
• Is it possible to have a small set of scripts to give indication of what might be potential problem during upgrades.
• Keith: data-check type query pre and post-upgrade - could do that and might be more useful for reasonably bigger ones. 
• Does SunGard migration toolkit have any queries that might give a glimpse into state of the data. 
• Might be possible to enhance migration kit so it can be used to migrate between different versions of Mifos itself in short term at least.
• i.e. dump from 1.3, use migration kit and then use to migrate from 2.1
• Keith: Current upgrade scripts work pretty well actually - IAS worked good except for some case insensitivity - went through pretty perfectly. 
• Krishnan: which would be easiest version of Mifos to migrate to MifosX?
  Reporting
• Keith to get some estimates from John on reporting 
•
