About: This is a dynamic space, open to feedback; a home-base where anyone, especially day-to-day Implementers interested in the OMRS roadmap, can see at a glance some key initiatives going on around our community: what's happening, who's putting resources in, what needs more support, and where there are specific opportunities to join.

Contact: Have an interesting initiative you want to see on the Community Product Roadmap? Contact community@openmrs.org and/or Community Coordinator @beryl at: beryl@openmrs.org. We'd love to hear about your priorities and current focus areas!

Criteria: How items get on this Community Roadmap: All of these items are:

  • being conducted in a public community process, with involvement & investment from 2+ Organizations

  • being shared with /omrs/5 facilitators, or Global Support Team members, or in general with the community at large, and are receiving some degree of support or awareness from OpenMRS Inc

  • likely to provide wide community value (i.e. fit under a reasonable definition of "Shared Assets" for community)

Timeline estimates: (e.g. Q1/Q2/H1/H2 etc) are subject to dynamically changing resources in our opensource community. They refer to a calendar year timeline (eg Q1 ends and Q2 starts when April begins, etc).

Product strategy: Adopted from Gibson Biddle’s DHM Model. Sustainable, Stable, Scaleable, and Secure are our main themes; however, good product strategy answers the question, How will your product delight users & community members, in hard-to-copy, sustainability-enhancing ways?”
