Expereince

GSoC 2018 is my first contribution to an open source software. I gain massive experience and it is really an amazing. I got to know about how open source community build a open source project and the open source culture. In these past few months I have improved myself in programming skills, communication skills ans several other skills. I would like to thank my mentor Harsha Kumara and backup mentor Sanatt Abrol for their guidance and support. I would like to thank OpenMRS community for accepting me and helping me. Finally for Google for organizing the GSoC.
