Thank you for the correction, @raff ! You’re right , I was mixing up my current work on the health/maintenance pages with the broader epic. I’m glad you’re still keen on a GSoC project for the horizontal scaling space. Looking at the backlog, I see several ‘Ready for Work’ areas that could form a high-impact **Large (350h)** project: - **Hardening & Security (TRUNK-6416):** Implementing the `SecurityManager` to prevent backend disk writes for a true stateless architecture. - **Infrastructure Evolution (TRUNK-6484 & TRUNK-6486):** Migrating from Nginx Ingress to the **Traefik Gateway API** and moving from MinIO to **Rook** for cloud-native storage. - **DevOps Automation (TRUNK-6446):** Integrating **ArgoCD** into our infra for fully automated deployments. My goal would be to move the cluster support from ‘functional’ to ‘production-ready/automated.’ Does this focus on hardening and modernizing the infra layer align with your vision for the project? ---

Thanks Raff. Thats really great to hear Thanks for sharing this! It’s exciting that centralized logging and a basic Grafana setup are already planned. I see this proposal as a natural extension of that work, focusing specifically on structured Prometheus metrics for hardware utilization and aggregated business level insights. ---

Hey Oliver Lewandowshi, I would like to contribute for Native O3 Frontend for the Audit Trail. But I am unable to find the github repository of the previous work done in GSOC 2025. Would be great if you could guide me. ---

Hi @olewandowski and @wikumc, I am really interested in the Native O3 frontend for the audit trail project for GSoC 2026. Bringing clinical accountability and change history directly into modern O3 ui makes user experience much more ease. I would love to contribute and help to make some changes.Could you please share the link to the GitHub repository? So i can start exploring the codebase. ---

Hi **[@Veronica Muthee](https://openmrs.slack.com/team/U057CJ6SKGQ)**, I’m Adarsh Dubey (Dev-1 contributor) and I’m preparing my GSoC 2026 proposal. I’ve been reviewing the “Visit Summary (Printable; early discharge summary)” documentation and roadmap discussions in detail, and I’m very interested in working on this project. From my understanding, the goal is to implement a printable clinic visit summary (not inpatient discharge), focusing on structured aggregation of visit-level data such as demographics, vitals, diagnoses, medications, lab results, and appointments, while keeping the output dense and cost-efficient for low-resource settings. I had a few clarifying questions while studying the scope: 1-Audience Scope Based on Burke’s comments, there seems to be a distinction between clinician-facing and patient-facing summaries. Would you recommend: - A single configurable template that adapts per audience, or - Two clearly separated summary types (clinician vs patient)? 2- Visit Scope Should the summary strictly include data from the current visit only, or should it optionally include selected historical context (e.g., active conditions, chronic medications)? 3-Template Customization Since implementations may require custom sections (e.g., billing-focused vs referral-focused), do you envision a template-driven architecture configurable per site? Or should we initially scope a standardized default template? I’m currently exploring: - Visit, Encounter, Obs, Diagnoses, Orders models - The updated commonreports module - The existing print-label feature implementation Before drafting my formal proposal, I’d appreciate your guidance on how you’d prefer the scope to be shaped. Thank you! ---

Hi everyone 👋 I’ve been exploring O3 recently and thinking about areas where we could improve reliability, especially in low-connectivity environments. One idea I had was around adding better offline support for O3 workflows (like orders or forms). Right now, many actions depend fully on network availability. In places with unstable internet, it could be risky if clinicians lose progress while entering data. I was wondering if it would make sense to introduce a reusable offline layer in the frontend — maybe something like a local queue (using IndexedDB) that syncs automatically once the connection is restored. It could also show simple status indicators like pending/synced/failed. This could potentially be designed in a way that different O3 modules can plug into it. Would love to know if this aligns with current priorities or if similar work has already been explored 🙂 ---

@dubeyadarsh862 Here are the responses concerning the `Visit Summary (Printable; early discharge summary)` - This should be clinician-oriented (referral, insurance, and care coordination use cases), not a patient-education document. - It is a visit-scoped summary, not a longitudinal chart extract, but may include selected active context (e.g., active conditions, chronic medications, allergies) when clinically relevant. - The template should ship with a dense, standardized default layout, with controlled section-level configurability to accommodate site-specific needs. ---

Hi everyone, I’m interested in contributing to OpenMRS for GSoC 2026. I’m particularly interested in the **Improved Appointments Calendar View** project since my main experience is with React and frontend development. Could someone confirm if a mentor will be assigned for the Appointments Calendar project, or should I switch to some other idea instead? Thanks! ---

Hi @jayasanka I’m Praneeth (@praneeth622). I have been contributing to esm-patient-management and esm-patient-chart since October 2025. I’m interested in the “Integrate O3 with Authentication Module” project for GSoC 2026. You have already reviewed my work on O3-5272, so you have a good sense of how I tackle problems. I’m comfortable with React and TypeScript. I have also been spending time understanding the OpenMRS frontend architecture over the past few months. I have a few questions to better understand the project: 1. Is the openmrsFetch() redirect mechanism partially built, or does it need to start from scratch? 2. Are there existing designs for the TOTP UI in O3? 3. Will frontend session timeout handling be included? I have started reading the authentication module code. I would love to chat more when you have time.

Hi everyone, I’m Sachin, a computer science student interested in contributing to OpenMRS for GSoC 2026. I’m currently exploring the project ideas and I’m particularly interested in frontend work in the O3 React ecosystem, such as the Audit Log Dashboard or other React-based improvements. I’m setting up the development environment and reviewing the repositories to understand the architecture. I would appreciate guidance on beginner-friendly issues or areas where I can start contributing. Thank you! ---

Hi everyone, I’m Shyam Sunder Roy preparing for GSoC and have experience with Java, Spring, and Hibernate. I’m particularly interested in backend-related projects. I’m currently waiting for my Jira access to be updated, but I’d love to start exploring the codebase and relevant tasks in the meantime.
