Drawing attention the topic discussion about OpenMRS project ideas: [Help us brainstorm OpenMRS project ideas](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/help-us-brainstorm-openmrs-project-ideas/17955)

I wondered if we could expand the brainstorming to include **Grand Ideas** that might not only take advantage of the funding support we already have, but also be the driver for even longer and larger funding of OpenMRS.

We have a tremendous opportunity to do good in the world. What would you do with an empowered OpenMRS if we had the resources?

Are you willing to be a leader in bringing this idea to conclusion? Would you be willing to commit your own time and resources if there were others doing the same, including funders?

I would love to see and participate in some coordinate evaluations of OpenMRS – i.e., we know that we’re writing code… let’s publish some research on whether or not we are actually saving lives. 🙂
