OpenEMR Admin Meeting Notes - 2026-06-09

Should we have an AI notetaker?

Release tooling continues. Exploring a pull-based system (e.g. just do the code release in the main OE repo and let the downstream stuff look for changes)

Brady & Eric to continue Docker-related work to consolidate and simplify the infrastructure. PR#11550 had some experimental work.

Discussing https://community.open-emr.org/t/strengthening-the-contributor-pipeline-a-proposal/26821:

  • Tooling feedback is a challenge, but seems to be moving in the right direction
  • Can we do more to welcome people to the community? Can we encourage more lasting contributions?
  • What can we do to triage all of the open issues? There are certainly many that are stale, as well as things that are fixed.
  • How do we handle the velocity of AI-created issues and PRs?

Next week:

  • Devote ~15 mins for PR review and issue triage to try things out, and figure out from there
  • Guest speaker - Jordan Hilsher from DAW Systems
  • Release!

As usual, please comment with anything else that we want to cover enxt week.

Next week I’d like to reserve some time to discuss our plans for Docker as well. There’s a few inter-related things in flight (especially some relating to the release process) and I think it’d be valuable to ensure there’s a clear plan and public messaging for installation + maintenance.
