Thoughts on GSoC

This is the first time I was been selected to Google Summer of Code. I’m really happy about choosing OpenMRS as my organization. It’s an honor to complete a project in this worldwide organization. I learned a lot of new things during this period. In the beginning, I thought it’ll be so difficult to complete the objectives of the project. There were some bugs and errors which I couldn’t understand at the first glance. But with the help of the OpenMRS community, I was able to fix those and complete almost every objective.

I really appreciate my primary mentor @akshika47 for guiding me throughout the project. And I would like to remember my deceased backup mentor @k.joseph who helped me to clear the doubts I had about the codebase. Also special thanks to @jayasanka for supporting me from the beginning to getting selected and completing GSoC 2021. Had a great summer with OpenMRS. My sincere gratitude to OpenMRS and Google for giving me this opportunity.
