1. Team Updates
1. Akros - Annie & Derek are in Thailand this week. Laurie is reviewing all user stories on Wednesday and adding relevant context. Contract signing imminent. We’ve got draft subcontracts almost ready for UCSF and DiSARM, which I will send over for internal review before Friday to get the ball rolling.
2. Ona - Matt is in Nairobi. Android client dev. Is progressing w/ ability to add point, hamburger menu, app is functioning. Today was final review of data dictionary and are implementing spray form. Can sync from android client to OpenSRP server. 2 dashboards will be working: 1 will be existing mSpray dashboard. Working on integration w/ Superset - this portion of reports is for exploration purposes. Next week we have an internal release of android client and QA team is starting review. Writing test scripts for IRS QA process (FYI: these are quite unlike the DSME User Stories test scripts)
3. DiSARM - Configuration tool is getting wrapped up and will share more next week. Algorithm call will happen on Thursday. This week meeting w/ director of PMI. Hackathon for outdoor biting this week w/ 35 participants.

Action: Laurie to send over slides and one pager.

Action: Anna to schedule NTD partnership call w/ DiSARM

Incomplete

1. Action: Anne to provide use case for the “can only attach one form per structure” requirement.

This would be to accommodate workflows: e.g. Foci investigation could include different forms for ACD, irs, ento

1. Action: Anne to f/u w/ Namibia for user stories regarding the requirement “Lack of internet and expense makes downloading of maps impractical” - when are maps being downloaded? What’s the use case? What part of the map download is concerning (i.e. which layer?) In Namibia, where are tablets configured?

Partially complete - This may have been an misunderstanding, but will continue to follow up with Mwalenga. From Sameen: if you only download the map at the beginning of the season that is all they need. Tablets are configured centrally.

1. Action: Anne in DC on Monday  -- maybe reschedule to next week in person?
2. Action: “Field staff not empowered to edit foci boundaries in the field so boundary edits only need to occur on the web interface” Laurie to f/u Annie and Derek to make sure that this sticks in Thailand. Action: Pierre to update Roadmap
1. Team Updates
1. Akros - Contract signing imminent. We’ve got draft subcontracts almost ready for UCSF and DiSARM, which I will send over for internal review as soon as possible. Management adjustment.
2. Ona - Internal QA passed on android client, data is flowing from OpenSRP server to mSpray dashboard, wrapping up Canopy reports for Superset. Fixing bugs internally - candidate release end of week next week. Test scripts are being drafted next week for VitalWave.
3. DiSARM - Algorithm call on Friday. Hackathon was last week (Chan/Zuckerberg initiative) and went well. 5 teams focused on outdoor biting. Distributed skills among teams. WInning team came up with the idea to build devices or materials that would soak up your carbon dioxide. They one some money to take this forward. One idea (applicable to Reveal), hardware that can detect numbers and species of mosquitoes captured in traps and can transmit that data. Could passively capture ento data this way.

Ken Staley (PMI director) meeting -- gave him an overview of DiSARM and Reveal and focused on the niche algorithm side. His focus is on capturing high quality data to inform decision-making. Wants a data “lake” to collate data across PMI countries to open it up via an API to allow open analysis (‘crowd sourcing analysis’). There’s a chance for software to help operationalize data. They are starting the “data lake” in 2019 and are trying to put together ideas for how this data can be used. PMI has an RFP live for tech support to build ‘data lake’ - they may have already decided who is taking this forward. They are keen to use Tableau, but unsure of backbone infrastructure.

1. Reveal Implementation Timeline for Testing / Sys Config / Pilot
1. R1 available end of week next week. Desk testing at VW potentially next week and then with Akros week of Jan 2. Concern is for Namibia and Botswana - when does DiSARM know whether or not we need to
2. Project Risk: Satellite Imagery access.
1. Demo is built on Zambia so we’ve got it for this context, but we need to confirm availability to use.
2. We need to consider budgeting for high res satellite imagery
3. End user license agreement w/ DSME and Digital Globe - imagery is available from DG to CHAI under license agreement, but we can’t post any enumerated structures onto OSM. Otherwise looks fairly open.

• Action: Anne to send over email introduction to CHAI contact or DG access
