dev team discussions

[bewest]

Proposal from @darrylschick:

Teams might meet up on hangout/webex to discuss priorities.

[darrylschick]

Proposal is to is have regular online meetings to:

• Prioritize advancements that will be most meaningful to the community
• Include whole team in the pipeline: Specs, design, testing, documentation, rollout, support
• Review projects with regard to FDA considerations

Groups for each main area:

• Uploader
• Remote Monitor
• Pebble
• Possibly, a group for "edge" projects (dosing, closed loop) that we don't want to release under Nightscout due to FDA concerns but that we still may want to develop. For example the we might do development/testing with the idea of sharing knowledge with CGM companies and let them implement the actual design and FDA approval.

Process

• By a certain date each month, participants update the roadmap with ideas
• Hangout or WebEx meeting held once a month for each group
• Roadmap is updated

Comments???

I like this a lot.

Should the process doc here be amended to include some kind of roadmap, and plans for this, or should this be in wiki somewhere?

A lot of this is happening in disjoint ways, and would love to centralize it (here) or somewhere.

It will be great if we can get this going Ben. Before long we'll need to add compatibility with the new Dex receiver to the list. Let me know if I can help.

I've sketched out a 3 phased roadmap to control glycemia in open source communities:

1. Monitor - Understand what causes glucose, stay mindful, situational awareness, co-ordination
2. Predict - Prove our understanding of cause and effect by showing and predicting causes and effects on screen. Make therapy trustable, predictable.
3. Control - After selecting useful and trusted algorithms, start really alleviating burdens by eliminating the need for human intervention. Accurately dose proper amounts of insulin by default through collaboration rather than behavior modification.

There's a very very bad/rough draft here, would love for other people to add their voice: https://gist.github.com/bewest/0bef7e247dd284d6e649

love this! How do we start a research channel?
