Agenda 1) Summary of work done by Mahesh

• Mahesh presented some developments to the IMS and RMS done for Sarvodaya to help with their donor management.
• Email thread to be started to clarify some specs for the Logs Module

2) Procurement

• Michael shared his initial development of the procurement sub module specs: procurement_sub_module_specifications
• Flow diagrams were requested, flow diagrams were provided!
• Questions were asked how this would fit into the Logistics Module, “Supply Chain Tracking System” and “Commodity Tracking System” - discussion to be continued on email thread.
• Nilushan asked if the workflow was consistent, Michael stated that it remains fairly standard for most NGOs, with no need for customization

3) Ajay's Logs work in SahanaPy for GSOC

• Ajay presented his work for review, still need some development for item catalog.
• Discussion on how to handle splitting of items into smaller packages (The “condom” problem: http://www.fromthehorizon.com/2006/11/02/condoms-for-africa/)
• Michael proposed an “ItemUnit” table to help record different packing sizes:

ItemID ^ UnitName ^ Multiplier ^ Divisor 1 | Carton | 1 | 1 | * Base Unit 1 | wallet | - | 20 | * 20 Wallets → Carton 1 | Box | 70 | - | * 70 Cartons → Box

• Ajay showed how different packing units can be added in the Logs Module

4) General Discussion

• KS is preparing a Logs Wireframe and will email to the list for review.
• Nilushan has prepared some users stories, but it was agreed that these were better described as task breakdown
• If Michael will prepare some User Stories, Nilushan will bake cookies for everyone at the next meeting.
• Nilushan pointed out that we need to be better at capturing requirements in the wiki. Requires can be captured through a combination of Technical Specifications and User Stories. User stories may be able to generate task for programmers, or be used as a check list for programmers to review the functionality of their modules.
• Nazgul1 tries to get Michael to start developing. Ajay tries to claim Michael for SahanaPy. Michael despairs at the loss of his free time.
• http://scrumy.com/sahanalogistic is proposed for managing user stories - perhaps need a thread to decide on best tool, for the meantime will use wiki. No time set for next meeting, but I think that everyone had sooo much fun that we'll have one soon!
