11.02.2011 Developer Meeting

Who Attended

Release 2.2.2

Need to understand goals behind Mifos 2.2.2 - is it for GK primarily?
Is it for mobile client?
EC: Don't think much thought process has gone behind the release - mainly that SolDevelo is taking it on and working toward REST services for Mobile Client.
KW: I might send out an email soon to developer community on this topic. EC +1 - definitely do that.
SMS App:
MV: Trying to understand how to get data out - get
REST Service to return upcoming meetings
Udai: whatever is called for collection sheet can be exposed through APIs
Working on collection sheet APIs - in day or two will be exposed
Need to know if should do this to G Release or Master
Can then look at data from Collection Sheet APIs and then see gap to get idea running.
MV: 2 fairly separate processes
2) Updating - using collection sheet - when loan officers respond with what collections have come through
1) First step - send messsage out informing about upcoming center meetings.
Udai: get list of loan officers that have meetings and send collection sheet
Think this is only place where meetings/attendance is mapped in Mifos.
* KW: I'll get in touch with Michael V around putting code in place to access this information which we can then expose through REST with udais help.
MV: can make a SMS call that pulls more and then just pull the subset of what is needed.
Next Step: REST APIs for step 1 to get meeting information.

Executable WAR

Another step: build launcher around it - launch4j would work well for that --> mifos exe
For a windows audience but that's the group that is most challenged.
MySQL embedding is a separate issue - still waiting on response from MySQL guy.

Accounting:

Ryan planning a call in 2 to 3 weeks with Gigi to discuss design issues with how we handle data that cause issues with integration.
Krishnan soon sending information about Molly Integration and APIs (this week ideally)
Might set up a direct call with Gigi beforehand if needed.
