Connectathon Report

Pros

• Went well - filled the room (more than 20 people) - 28 max
• Several observers
• New people & returnees
• 2 remote participants (not ideal, better than nothing)
• 6 clients met 1 or more, 5 servers met 1 or more
• Vendors & organizations, not just individuals
• Seem to be building on previous ones

Cons

• Didn't successfully get 3 streams running
• Didn't get scenarios or data defined early enough
• Didn't really "demonstrate" what was done - do we need more of a showcase?

Future

• Perhaps put together a "build FHIR in a day" tutorial/set of instructions
• Look at driving scenarios off list of use-cases [[1]]
• Put connectathon on the Tutorial list?
• Eventually we want to charge real money. Perhaps next time charge $50 or something/participant
  • partially cover food
  • encourage participation & commitment
  • perhaps adjust fees in the future - if you certify, you pay less next time?
• Connectathon coming up in Australia, possibly Europe
  • Need announcment in HL7 notice
• Article in HL7 Newsletter, including announcement of upcoming future connectathons & where
  • This connectathon will be last opportunity to try specification before DSTU is finalized
• Content will be frozen at ballot - need to ensure the servers are ready at the same time.
• Aim for 30+ attendees, round tables

FGB report

• Discussed vitality process
• Grahame provided stats on resource access - resources + date
  • Start capturing IP address, user's name, operation, search parameters
• Ewout agrees to capture stats too - will coordinate w/ Grahame on format
• Discussed process for donating resources
• Still an open issue for the board to deal with IP issues around submissions (internal and external)
• Will allow for externally-defined resources in a way to ensure no collisions and encourage community-participation

MnM

Working on methodology

Community

• Consideration of using Stack Overflow or something like that?
• Benefit to using the public forum
  • increased public view
• May be too hard to get the focus narrow enough to be useful
• Dave will add a wiki-page

Resource Proposals

• Lloyd will send a reminder to the WGs indicating what resources are missing proposals and requesting proposals to be complete by a deadline (say 2 weeks Monday)
  • Will include examples
• Lloyd will distribute the Core resources to members of FMG and FGB (probably ~ 2 each), same deadline for completion
• Will devote a large chunk of time to reviewing proposals on future calls

Ballot Readiness

• Some WGs doing well, others not so well
• May need to move content for FM into "Core owned"
• Pharmacy - ready
• PA - Patient, Organization ready, but for all - November
  • Will re-factor approach to get "enough" review done by mid-July
• FM - "ready enough"
• PHER - ready
• OO - ready
• PC - ready
• Devices - ready or yanked
• New security stuff - ready

QA

• Process worked really well 22 participants, 16 actually did some (many all) of review
• Vocab has agreed to undertake a QA process that involves vetting chunks at a time (once we deem them ready for review)
• Lloyd will be putting together some tools to aid in validation
• QA will be repeated in much the same way next round with a solicitation of volunteers. Volunteers will be assigned different topics
