You may be aware that we participated in this program last year with great success.

We’re confident that this year will be even better, and are anxious to take part! If you’re willing to participate in this program as a mentor for OpenMRS, and help high school students aged 13-17 complete various tasks using OpenMRS, please respond to this thread, and we’ll get back to you shortly.

Remember, GCI tasks are not limited to development work - they can also involve documentation, testing, QA, community outreach etc.

For a quick idea on what potential GCI tasks look like, please refer to - OpenMRS Issues

Our GCI 2015 application is in! So lets start working on some new task ideas. I am expecting that we can start discussing task ideas in our GCI category - https://talk.openmrs.org/c/community/google-code-in The application detail is in the Google doc below: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ssk4nTr3z6BOKDbJCmpNOQDdaQA9Rds3tb-lo4RHSZA/edit?usp=sharing

Hi everyone. This is just a reminder that we are still seeking mentors for Google Code-in 2015. Please join us … GCI is a way to get a very very large volume of work done in a very short time, but we need great mentors like you to make it happen. Reply to this topic if you’re willing to join the fun this December!
