1. Technical Updates

UK team

  • SDMX
    • There are some departments in the ONS that are using SDMX and have produced a trial indicator using SDMX to see if it is possible. This work is being led by Lucy Gillum.
    • Goal is to have an SDMX feature on the website that will read the JSON files and export to SDMX format.
    • Current setup involves a program called "cord" and an oracle database
    • UNSD is using this conversion tool
    • Working with Abdula Gosalov to help with this process. Lucy is the expert on this and will call into the Monday meeting to give more details
  • New developer has been delayed and will be starting the 4th of March.
  • Map feedback to for Brock - like the nested zoom and the fact that it uses Leaflet.
  • Rwanda
    • Planning a visit on the 21st of January, not confirmed though.
    • Rwanda is interested in adding multilingual: French and a local language.
  • Meetings with UNSD as a part of the UNSD DFID project. Ann has been speaking with them about how their metadata work could be improved.
  • On the UK site they are planning on changing to only 2 statuses: "reported online" and "exploring datasources" (a two-color system).

US team

  • The last steps for deploying the new version of the platform are being taken.
  • There has been some odd behavior happening on the site that Phil would like to troubleshoot. There is a problem with certain styles when they are deployed. It is deploying an old copy of the file when being deployed. Phil will chat with Brock about it.
  • Kali not getting notifications for pull requests. Could be something with her settings. Will discuss later with Phil.

Poland team

  • Will be publishing platform in January
  • Brock to reach out for separate technical call after the holidays

CODE team

Country/subnational interest in cloning the NRP

  • Trips to Rwanda and Armenia both in January
  • Indication from Germany that they are working on it. They just need to finish their translation.

2. Upcoming events/conferences

  • None

3. Next steps

  • Brock to start GitHub issues on the map.
  • The US team should update the wiki on the repository and remove some documents. Brock started a document noting the differences between the platforms that needs to be fleshed out: https://github.com/GSA/sdg-indicators-usa/wiki/Differences-from-Open-SDG
  • Brock to set up a technical call with Michal
  • Reschedule next call for new year
  • Thoughts on spreading the word about the new merged platform?
    • Chris - no objections but thinks that we should wait to spread too much of the word until we have it implemented somewhere. But Ann may have a different idea about it.
    • Phil - No objections.
    • Brock will bring it up with Ann on Monday
