Hello everyone,

I’m Subham Kumar, a third-year Computer Science undergraduate at IIT Dhanbad. Proficient in programming languages such as HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React, Node.js, and Express, I have garnered valuable experience in these domains.

My passion lies in open-source contributions, and I am excited to announce my interest in participating in Google Summer of Code 2024. I am particularly eager to collaborate on projects related to OpenMRS.

Having honed my skills through hands-on experience and coursework, I am enthusiastic about applying my knowledge to real-world projects. I believe that through active engagement in the open-source community, we can collectively drive positive change and innovation.

Looking forward to the exciting opportunities ahead, and eager to contribute to the success of OpenMRS in GSOC’24.

Best regards, Subham Kumar

Thanks for the great work regarding the academy. I have gone through the OpenMRS fundamentals and the content is good. However I am not able to view the content for the last part before the quiz which is “Introduction to OpenMRS reporting” because the video can’t play. I managed to do the quiz.

I enrolled for the “OPENMRS 03 INTRO” but the videos are not playing too. What could be the problem? @wodpachua @suubi7

Hello @wodpachua , how to get access to this course Introducing OpenMRS version 3 (O3) – OpenMRS.org in openmrs academy? I am unable to play the videos even after enrolling for the course. Thanks in advance for the help.

It would be really helpful if we could access the videos. Is there any way to do that? Thanks.

Hi @isamanya and @piyushmishra1416! Thank you so much for your patience - After a loooooot of video editing and quiz curation - I finally have uploaded a better version of the virtual “O3 for Developers” Academy Course. It’s now open to anyone, free, and all the videos should work :smiley:

I would love your review and feedback. E.g. Let me know if there is anything that you think is confusing, or missing, or unnecessary, or buggy!

Hi, Thank you all for your hard work on launching the OpenMRS Academy! I’ve enrolled in the OpenMRS Fundamentals Academy, and I’m really enjoying the content so far. However, I noticed that the video related to Introduction to OpenMRS Reporting seems to be missing. Could you please check on that when you have a moment? :slightly_smiling_face: @grace @wodpachua

Thank you so much all in advance!!!
