User:Ankursinha/GSoC Fedora Medical proposal

Title

This page details my proposal for the Fedora Medical GSoC project

Contact Information

All relevant contact information can be found on my user page.

Deliverables

• Inclusion of packages to the fedora repos.
• Easy installation of packages using the default package manager (yum/packagekit).
• In the long run : A fedora medical spin with all of the important packages included.

Intended workflow

• Start by checking the current status of the review queue
• Package the more important applications first.
• Packaging implies the following:
  • Make an rpm package (I'll do this)
  • Submit a review request (I'll do this)
  • Approve package (A reviewer needs to do this : takes maximum time)
  • Add package to comps (I'll do this)
• Easily installable PACS and DICOM viewers are higher priority.
• Instead of submitting one review per week, in sequence, I'll submit many in parallel in a period over 2-3 weeks. This way, we won't need to wait on one package before diving into another.
• I will have maximum time to work on this during May, the whole of June, July. End of July and August will be just a little restricted.

Timeline

I've divided the 4 month period into 4 milestones. This will be discussed with my mentor and edited as required.

Start date	End date	Goal	Details	Comments	Status
May 23	May 30	Check up, update and review currently open review requests	bugs : gnumed server, rhbug:573910, rhbug:539387, elastix, praat, ledgersmb, InsightApplications, vxl, InsightToolkit, (others?)	Start with housekeeping. This would also give us a good idea of the current status of packages
May 31	June 15	Begin packaging PACS and DICOM software from the Medical_Imaging page	dcm4che and ginkocadx (Initially, it was decided to package mayam, but dcm4che contains more than just that apparently and needs looking into.)	https://fedorahosted.org/pipermail/medical-sig/2011-March/000128.html.
June 16	June 23	Package conquest, cmedic and ANTS	Also complete git processes of previous weeks packages. Push to testing, (bribe some testers to quickly push to stable? :P)	These are the last PACS/DICOM softwares remaining on the list
June 24	July 1	Practitioner_workflow packaging	Package oemr, freemedforms, openhre, aeskulap	Also look for other software to fill in current voids
July 2	July 9	Dental_software packaging (phase 1)	Package opendental, openmolar, and the others present in the list.	(There are a total 7, two days for each?)
July 10	July 15	Mid term evaluations	We'll need some time to prepare the mid term reports and submit them to google
July 15	July 26	Dental_software packaging (phase 2)	Task before the submission to be continued.
July 27	August 3	Complete any pending packages	Space to cover up delays	Since delays are inevitable, use this week to make sure all packages on the TODO list before this are complete
August 4	August 14	All packages complete. Coding tasks begin.
August 15	August 22		"Pencils down" state. All packages/coding tasks will be complete by this date

MILESTONE1 : May 23 : Work begins. Packaging of EMR software.
