UK team
- Doug from Mango solutions will be down helping for a few days. He was on the project from the beginning. He will be helping to review the Open SDG work.
- Would like to discuss automated testing with Doug
- The UK team is working on getting more resources to bring in user research, contact management, and design help.
- The documentation looks good and they will be discussing the architecture diagram.
- Big thanks to Brock for helping with all of this. Wouldn’t have gotten as far without him.
- Chris - Lucy gave a demo with SDMX. She did it with ILOSTAT data and their DSD. They want to do the same with the newer version of the DSD.
- Ann - also exploring a web service for SDMX conversion. Working on understanding how SDMX works. Will be on a taskforce for SDMX and will be attending with Germany.
- Chris - The final DSD will include all the disaggregations and will be able to run it against the DSD and create the indicators on demand.
- Chris has been trying to get in touch with Reuben about an update on Rwanda. He sent out a terms of reference and an agenda for the trip. Whether or not Rwanda shifts to the Open SDG platform depends on whether or not the UK can before hand.
- Chris questions for Brock to talk in detail on Monday
- Updating boundaries on the map - can you help Rwanda to show how to point to the boundaries *Also how to enable the multilingual feature.
US team
- Not present due to government shutdown
Poland team
- Not present, but will be launching at the beginning of February
- Phil and Brock to have technical call with Michal after launch
CODE team
- Brock has been focused on getting Open SDG, documentations, and the Leaflet map
- Has an architecture diagram available as a pull request
- Brock is working on getting full coverage of automated testing on the platform. This won’t need to be implemented with other forks but people can choose to. This is using the Cucumber software.
- US platform has now been updated to Open SDG. This happened before the break.
- Brock has been working with the city of Los Angeles to help develop a quick start. They are more interested in just the targets and modifying them for the city.
- Chris proposes having an option to toggle between goal and target as the UK has been having similar issues. Brock will open up an issue to start discussing this.
- Chris - any ideas on thoughts on how to backup the code? UK is using Gitlab. Would folks be interested in hearing about it?
- This would be for extra protection in case anything goes wrong with GitHub. They will discuss it on Monday during the meeting. Brock is interested in learning.
Country/subnational interest in cloning the NRP
- Rwanda has switched over to Open SDG. Chris has this as a pull request but hasn’t pushed it to live yet because he wants to do more testing.
- Brock will be in Armenia for the next call. Caleb can lead the next call.
- Brock followed up with Germany last week but hasn’t heard a response.
- Question from Ann Ghana, Rwanda, Armenia are the ones that are using the platform but what can we publicly say and link to who has adopted it. CODE hasn’t published anything and we are waiting to do anything more until the Open SDG platform is ready.
- Katarina - should we draft a comms plan for open SDG? Ann, yes, that would be helpful. Katarina, has a bunch of people who are interested and who could help publicize it and CODE will draft a document.
- Ann - would be good if we have the same words and key messages. Would be great to have a UN blog about it once it is all ready.
- Poland - Michael said they are launching their platform February 1st. They will be releasing the CODE on GitHub at the time that they launch it. Seems like there CODE is a little bit separate from the Open SDG, but it could be possible to get them on it. Brock and Phil will have a technical call with them after they launched.
- Jamaica - Katarina met Marsha at IODC and someone else from WDF. They have been going back and forth in emails about utilizing the platform. Katarina wanted to wait until Open SDG was there before following up with them. Katarina will move forward now.
- Ann - could be a good aim to try and have one instance of Open SDG on each continent. General agreement on this being a good goal.
- None
- CODE SDG is concluding in August 2019
- Want to get feedback on what CODE could do between now and then that would be most helpful?
- Ann - brought this up with the rest of the team to see what are the reporting problems in the SDG world and what they could still help with. Haven’t heard back but will follow up.
- And if CODE could get additional funding, what opportunities do you think CODE would be well suited for?
- Ann thinks that continuing to support people doing the work with Open SDG going forward would be very valuable. The expertise to help coordinate and pull it forward would be great.
- Technical call on Monday to get together with Doug and others.
- Brock will be continuing to work with the city of LA to do some of this work and will be focusing on the quick start and ironing out any issues with it.
- Chris - Open SDG, the leaflet map is still pending because we are waiting to review it. Could Chris go through it and approve it? Brock thinks so and Ann agrees.
- Chris - would be good to get Doug’s input on the architecture diagram. Can we chat about it on Monday. Yes.
- Chris - we are doing versioning now, and we are on 2.2, but wants to make sure that this is a stable version.
- Brock says that they are all stable and we should just go with the latest version.
- And how do we find what is the most recent version? Should be at the top of the page in the middle.
- Pending pull requests
- Change log has been changed and is also waiting as a pull request. Chris can approve that as well
- There is also a pull request for the documentation home page that is ready to review.
- Bug fix for switching back and forth between high contrast and regular. Seems to only be a problem with images hosted on Amazon.
- Update the community page and other documentation changes as well.
- Chris- how many people have permission to review pull requests?
- Brock- Anyone can review it but it only counts if you have write access. Ann and Phil are owners so they can also do some of this work. Brock will give Chris permission.
