OpenEMR Admin Meeting Notes - 2026-02-24

Release Process:

  • CCDA service build complexity
  • Suggestion: one-day freeze prior to patch release to merge security fixes?

Banner module:

  • Have a mechanism to rapidly highlight the need to upgrade OpenEMR to get security fixes (possibly powered by an RSS feed or similar)
  • Having a certified instance may need a up-to-date check to remain legally compliant

Docs:

  • What can we do to best keep the wiki up to date? Does the wiki even make sense as the documentation mechanism these days?

Misc:

  • Could one of the various security classes help set up automated scanning? Would be very beneficial for real-world knowledge for students and help the project
  • Bootstrap UI update - basically imminent!

Action items:

  • Figure out (async) who should own the update checking and banner module things being discussed. There’s a technical design side as well as implementation.

Next Week:

  • Prescriptions issues after upgrading
    • MySQL strict mode?
  • Continue packaging/upgrading/runtime requirements discussion
