openEHR infrastructure - status update

Announcements (archive)
1

The openEHR infrastructure has been (somewhat slowly) updated over the last few months as follows:

  • the website is now on a hosted server with latest Ubuntu / LAMP stack; practically speaking this means we can take advantage of anything recent / modern in latest Apache, PHP, Git etc

  • nearing completion: MySQL-backed news posting capability, which will replace the static news article pages (the look and feel will be more or less the same)

  • getting started - multi-lingual translation of openEHR main website

  • TODO: webalyzer or similar webstats

  • TODO: route news feeds through either twitter or RSS to enable push-updates to the community

  • the Jira issue-tracker is on a hosted server, and upgraded to v5.2 (an upgrade to 6.0 will happen soon)

  • the Confluence wiki is on the same hosted server and upgraded to v5.1

  • for Jira and Confluence, email remains to be set up

  • TODO: coalesce the wiki spaces into a structure more closely resembling the openEHR Programs

  • TODO: improve some of the ageing content, e.g. FAQs

  • the mailing lists are running at EMWD.com

  • TODO: put in a proper archive tool like we had before (Mhonarc), but this should happen soon; the lists can be processed from day 1, so we will get the web archive back the way it was

  • the openEHR GitHub project now contains the openEHR IP (moved from the old Subversion server), mostly moved with branches and tags intact from subversion:

  • all software projects

  • the specifications

  • the website

  • test archetypes used for the ADL 1.5 compiler

  • a periodic mirror of CKM

  • openEHR reference terminologies

  • openEHR reference models (UML, BMM, XMI etc)

  • tool downloads- The openEHR YouTube channel is starting to have some useful content, with useful pointers from the Learning Centre page.

  • TODO: more work needed here to collate useful existing content in playlists or otherwise - please provide suggestions/feedback here.- There is an openEHR Twitter identity, which gets quite a lot of useful stuff on it

  • note that the Twitter feeds on the home page are a bit smarter than just @openehr (they catch openehr, ckm and a few other things)

  • There is a FaceBook page, although it’s not yet clear how we are using this as a community

  • CKM is now running on a new hosted server.

Hopefully some of these efforts are starting to serve the community better. There is always a lot more to do of course. Please post suggestions on the lists, to the webmaster, for for the website, on the Git tracker.
