Hi, I’m prathamesh_m009, excited to start GCI 2019 with OpenMRS
The best thing about OpenMRS lies in it’s tagline “Write Code, Save Lives”, what can be more better than saving lives with your code? And talking about GCI, it isn’t just a contest but a platform to learn and contribute to open-source softwares, for many it’s their first interaction with open-source and that’s what makes OpenMRS and GCI special.
Yes, I participated in GCI 2018 from OpenMRS itself, but I couldn’t contribute much apart from some design based tasks. But this year I learned to code, got myself into the OpenMRS community and I hope I’ll able to contribute more this year(Infact, already started).
I’m looking forward to meet some amazing people along the journey of GCI 2019 and together make our community even greater.
Hi, I am arnavj and I am all set to kick start GCI 2019 with OpenMRS.
Google Code-In is a great initiative for students around the world to share ideas and work on one big project. OpenMRS plays the role of a catalyst in this process.
No, I did not participate in Google Code-In during the previous years.
I really look forward to becoming a part of OpenMRS. I think by the end of Google Code-In, I would have really developed overall.
I love the fact that I can actually help save lives by participating in GCI. I also found interesting how complex the community around OpenMRS is: The wiki, the IRC channel, the OpenMRS ID, …
This is my first year taking part in GCI.
I expect the tasks by OpenMRS to be challenging, and I want to get feedback on my work. I’m a perfectionist, so I want my contributions to OpenMRS to be as good as they can be, which I need feedback for.
Hi guys, my name is Rohit Mukund and I’m currently a junior in high school in New Jersey. Can’t wait to work with you guys, and good luck to all!
Some interesting facts I’ve learned about GCI is how numerous organizations want to give students a change to gain experience in working on specific tasks for companies/organizations. This prepares the students for the real world and the jobs they are to take in the future. I also learnt that many international companies are implementing OpenMRS themselves at national scale. This shows the global impact of OpenMRS.
I participated in GCI last year for JBoss Community.
I expect to learn a lot more about the objective of OpenMRS and how they strive to make the world a better place. I’m prepared to take the challenges that come for me and can’t wait to start completing these tasks
Hi guys! My name is Manu Gupta, and I’m very excited to help save people genuinely in need of healthcare .
Isn’t it really cool that there are localization features implemented in OpenMRS? I found it very interesting how OpenMRS crosses lingual barriers by allowing people who speak different languages to see the same data. I also thought it was pretty cool how ‘complex’ data can be stored in OpenMRS meaning that if I need to format something important that maybe the software didn’t take into account for, I can still do so using the complex data feature. The flexibility of this software is amazing and it was all because of GCI that I am now able to part of such an wonderful community.
I have never participated in GCI, but I hope this year will teach me a lot about how open source projects work.
I can only imagine how the community must be in OpenMRS. I expect there to be a highly involved community who love solving challenges while saving lives because there really isn’t anything better than that!
I still can’t believe that I am going to play a role in changing people’s lives where malaria, tuberculosis, and other diseases run rampant! Good luck to all!
Hi, I’m Dan and I’m really looking forward to experiencing GCI with OpenMRS!
This is my first time doing it, I hope it’ll be fun and allow me to build on my skills. I expect that OpenMRS will be an amazing community of great people all working together to save lives, and I’ll be really happy to code in java, my first language
I’m Ribhav(ribhavsharma), A 16 year old android developer and designer. I participated in Google Code-In last year too. Last year I didn’t really read about all the organisations. But the tagline of OpenMRS, that is “Write Code, Save Lives”, is very interesting in itself. I’m really looking forward to working with the organisation. The main thing that makes me wait for GCI to begin each year is the spark for open source, around the world, that we get to see.
Hello everyone! My name is Michael and I am ready to participate in my first year of GCI!
An interesting fact about GCI is how much opportunity there is to participate. You can do tasks through making pull requests, writing blogs and tutorials, making videos and even making designs.
I did not participate in GCI last year.
I am really looking forward to learning more about how I can help support health care in developing countries through software.
The most interesting i found about the Google Code-in is its way of working and promoting young ones towards open source program developments. In this era of technology, all the technologies are worth money and some are very expensive, which a simple student or learner cant afford. Here comes open source to those who are worth it but cant afford and its a good initiative of Google Code-in to increase the craze of Open Source in teen programmers, designers and researchers. I think Open MRS is also created by same intentions, helping the people who deserve it but cant afford and make their life easier by means of technology. It wants to be there where it has to be.
Yes i have participated in GCI, last year luckily for Open MRS.
I expect that OpenMRS will be the one what it want to be “A Life Savior” by writing Codes.
OpenMRS is really cool because it is doing good things for people around the world with code. Google Code-in is a nice program because it helps people who are interested in Open Source get involved.
I have not participated in Google Code-in before.
I look forward to becoming involved with an open source community like OpenMRS.
Hello,
I am rkunds and this is my first year with Google Code In and Open MRS. I had never heard of Open MRS before this event and I quickly learned that this organization is really interesting and beneficial towards the health of many people. Through this challenge, I hope that this organization allows me to further my outreach into the community and improve my skills in coding and collaboration. I also want to be able to help people through this organization.
I love how OpenMRS is contributing so deeply in saving lives in developing countries, and better, with Code! It is about how we are helping those people needing help right from our computers.
My first time in Google Code-in.
Looking forward to learning new things and earning new and valuable experiences
I was a finalist with OpenMRS in 2014 and have been a mentor ever since I’m excited to be working with other mentors and seeing all the tasks that participants will complete!
