[dhis2] Some news

[Ola H. T. <ol...@st...>]

Hi all,

Just to update you on the recent development actions I recommend that you
have a look at the following pages at the wiki:

http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Development/DevelopmentNews
http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Development/Architecture
http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Development/Technology

For those of you that are interested in learning about the Java frameworks
and java web development we have found some good tutorials. To use these
tutorials we recommend that you follow the setup instructions first:
http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Documentation/Setup

And then download the files and docs for the tutorials:
http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Documentation/Tutorial

If you would like to stay up to date on what is going on in Open Source
Java development there are some very good Weblogs on the Internet. We have
made a list of relevant Weblogs (ot just blogs) at:
http://jdhis.sourceforge.net/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/DHISResources/BlogsNews

Knut and I have noticed that the list has been rather quiet and not the
active list we were hoping for. I guess the activity increases when we
start doing more concrete development tasks, but it would be useful to
have more input from all of you in the processes of finding the right
tools and frameworks, designing the system architecture etc. Or maybe you
have input on collaborative development, communication strategies, version
control etc?

And maybe it could be a good idea that we all introduce our selves to the
list, just to get started?

I can start:

I am Ola Hodne Titlestad, and I live in Oslo, Norway. I have worked in the
HISP project since 2002 when I started as a master student at the
Department of Informatics, University of Oslo. My research was focused on
the process of developing a health information system in Cuba using HISP
software and strategies. I worked in Cuba for about 6 months and my tasks
where related to adapting the DHIS in the Cuban context. In May this year
I was employed by the Department of Informatics as a researcher in the
HISP project focusing on coordinating a development project targeted at
developing a web-enabled and platform-independent version of the DHIS.

So what about you?

Best regards,
Ola
