Thanks for attending the June Meetup call! While it was an smaller call than usual, we’re always happy to help out whoever attends.
Two new squads
We covered the Peer 2 Peer squad which is looking to implement fully offline synchronization between two users of the CHT. The primary use case is coming out of West Africa where a supervisor would meet up with a CHW in a rural setting. The CHW would synchronize their data to the supervisor over an ad hoc WiFi network, a feature built into all Android devices. Some time later, the Supervisor would be able to synchronize the CHW’s data when the supervisor has connectivity.
We also reviewed the just started No Code CHT Configuration squad. This squad looks to remove the requirement to be an app developer when a CHT user wants to create a new workflow.

Hosting Cost Calculator
We recently updated our online Hosting Cost Calculator, and did a demo of what these changes are and why we made them - to be more reflective of real world hosting costs. Check it out today!
All of our squads are open to any one who is reading this - we encourage you to participate to shape the CHT to be what will be the most helpful for you deployment.
