Meeting with Dustin on 3/23/21

Steve (by phone), Cory, Brandon, Dustin, Sean (travelling), John joined at the end

A. Where are you at?
	- He has 3 projects that he is working on
	- He is not able to focus on all of the projects that keep coming.
		That is taking away from his focus on what he is trying to do.
	- Ideally, helping him to focus would be very helpful.

	- Harvest packaging - a little too tight and step-by-step
		- He wants to make it more flexible
		- A do it all from one page... lots of functions from the one page
		- Choose your own adventure (aka harvest task) in any combination or order
		- You can build the form on the fly, all the mapping is done behind the scenes
		- Build in validation
		- Lots of metrc tie-ins
		- All kinds of dynamic adjustments - sub attributes and sub weights
		- Allowing for harvesting with variables, testing, and other processes
		- Lots of input from Kelly
		- Progress report and still hanging items
		- Need more loops, validation, and tying into Metrc
		- Still missing some of the adilas database table updates - needs some handholding
		- Sell the rest of it (the finishing of the project) - pitch the vision to get it finished
		- Maybe talk with Kelly about getting funding for this project - we may need to nail down timelines and costs - hard to nail those things down - all of this is R&D
		- Pitching it as 7/10ths done (70%)
		- Dustin would really like to focus here - this is the closest to being done - let's help him out there

	- Bulk Adjustments Homepage
		- Filter by batch, filter by date range, filter by PO number range
		- Minimal amount of data to show, but processes done in bulk
		- Hasn't worked on this since last summer (a long time ago)
		- Sean - be able to filter by batch number and not show all of the details
		- We may be duplicating efforts - different developers working on similar projects
		- It would take quite a bit of work to get this up to a production level
		- Possible cross-overs and sharing code
		- Adding in Snow Owl data tables - able to sub search and export
		- Possible option to show/hide details (quick groups and counts vs full details)
		- Cory - What about filter by batch and filter by location - same page
		- Laying out page structure for required pieces vs data being loaded
		- Steve - do a deep dive and maybe even some psudeo code
		- Completing things and getting small victories
		- Maybe shrink down the scope to get things done and finished
		- Steve - pitching an MVP (minimal viable product) type model
		- If tied to Metrc - tie the API sockets out to Metrc in the background - a queue or list of what needs to be done
		- Showing a possible progress report on where things are at with the API sockets
		- Sean put in a vote for this - through chat - even for non Metrc states and clients

	- Accountability Homepage
		- Critical data storage
		- Deadlines
		- Template forms and auto fill what you can
		- Getting into push technology (alerts, messages, etc.)
		- Helping them keep and stay on top of compliance
		- Scheduled tasks
		- Testing, entities, licenses, locations, owners, employees, quick links
		- Testing verification, batch/package status, potency tets, comtaminant tests
		- Quick, prebuild templates - for example: submit a new test
		- Using simple settings to handle some of the defaults and mappings
		- Deeper ERP type scheduling, alerts, and helping with logistics
		- HR functionality - raises, reviews, licenses, other HR stuff
		- Documents and media/content uploads
		- Major manager for compliance issues - accountability
		- Getting outside funding
		- Fun side note - Dustin has done such a good job, he is almost pitching a dream by building one or more prototypes - super cool - help pitch the ideas through a prototype
		- Dustin could use some help on getting these pieces done - dividing and conquering

	- Other Compliance Bulletins
		- Null values and more location specific changes
		- Maybe knock this out before it gets too tight on the deadline

	- Aggregated Tables for Cultivation
		- Phases, dates, quantities, weights, totals, sums, etc.
		- Future project
		- Master tables

	- Automation of Phases
		- Some of the clients like to see the phases at a plant level
		- They got setup back in the day, and they still want keep some of those older pieces going forward
		- Maybe expanding out the normal settings (optional settings) and then mapping to certain ids and such
		- We didn't talk about this... but we could pull existing data into other pages and places. The data already exists, we just need to distribute that data to other places.

	- Metrc Maintenance - it's own project, in and of itself
		- New state tests
		- Delivery
		- Constant updates, changes, triage (spelling), bulletins, and other maintenance
		- Wouldn't it be cool if we could charge Metrc for the amount of maintenance that they require? Dustin said that he spends 75% of his time on Metrc maintenance.

B. What else is needed?

C. Looking into the future?

- Dealing with funded projects - we are trying to switch directions, where possible.
	- We got in trouble with server issues, flash to HTML conversion, adilas label builders, new shopping cart, and other internally funded projects - we just get stretched out a bit

- Adding value to adilas by getting some of these projects done and completed

- Code and branch management - one of his big branches is getting so old, the merge process will be harder

- Thanks to John for some training on Git and Bit Bucket

- Small talk on hours - be your own style - we'll take it

- Gather the information (1st step) - then make a plan (Cory) - then do it!
