Future Works

So as of now there are 3 ways i think, i can keep contributing to the OpenMRS community.

  1. Maintain & Enhance the work i have done untill now. (Example & Minimal script)
  2. As i have spent ample amount of time with openmrs-react-components library, participating in enhancement of this library would be the next step.
  3. Branch out into new projects where i may be able to contribute.

Thoughts on GSoC

GSoC was a once-in-a-lifetime experience to put it directly. I have learnt numerous new things while working on the requirements of this project.

It turned out to be way different than what i thought GSoC would be. There are many important skills that i learnt through this GSoC which will stay with me life-long, Consistency (working on a single project day-in and day-out) and Time Management (keeping with the deadlines).

I have lost the Open-Source Phobia, i once had and am glad to say that, working with OpenMRS have given me the courage to start contributing to other Open-Source projects, one of which would be apollo-starter-kit.

I intend to be a part of OpenMRS community forever, as i am in this for the long run.

Thank You, OpenMRS and my mentors to have started this New Open-Source chapter of my life.
