Thanks @mozzy for spear heading this, Last Year we had some projects which seem to have more work to do even this year, Are we planning to bring them back on board Forexample GSOC2020 Project

thanks @sharif for bringing this back

my take on this is we can make the pending tickets on this project intro issues for students to take on and get more familiar with openmrs forexample those who are going to participate in #OMRS202O Internships from soloDevelo

Hello @mozzy If I interesting in become a mentor, what are the requirement I must satisfy?

sharif · February 14, 2021, 6:57am

i think making them intro issues makes sense, And i hope this will come with priority when it comes to the community Technical Roadmap

@osgux you are welcome to the community. Kindly find your answer here: GSoC - Guidelines for Mentors - Resources - OpenMRS Wiki. If not answered please don’;t hesitate to get more clarification from @mozzy and other devs.

Thanks @osgux and @iamsr ,

From the OpenMRS mentors Guideline ,

Mentors

In general, Mentors are community volunteers who are willing to give a student a great experience in open source development. Mentors should be knowledgeable enough in open source development and their project to provide quality mentorship during Summer of Code. Note that mentors cannot also participate as a student (i.e., someone applying as a student to GSoC should not also volunteer to be a mentor in the same year).

and also from GSOC rules page

and

. The above Available Projects primarily fall under the MicroFrontEnds , the mentor would have to be Knowledegable around that area .

mozzy · February 15, 2021, 10:53am

Please , any one intrested , you can fill out this form

iamsr · February 16, 2021, 6:13am

Hi @mozzy! Since the projects Micro Frontend UI for FHIR metadata CRUD operations and Modernizing Admin functions for OpenMRS: Option 4: Metadata Management basically point to the same project, I guess the 2 listings could be merged in the project list on the GSoC’21 page.
