Project Summary

Project Title : OpenMRS Android Client 3.0.x
Primary mentor : Rishabh @rishabh997
Backup mentor : Juliet @jwnasambu
Student : Saurabh @saurabh
Project Link : Wiki Page Link

Overview

This year, the project was focused on making the Android client more extendable and implementing the offline first architecture in the app, requirements :

The Android app must be extendable and easy for the implementers to deploy and implement by encapsulating common functionalities of the app using Jitpack library, so that the android client is properly utilized and really solves some heathcare problems.
The offline-first solution needs to be developed and extended further, where a provider cannot connect to the internet and needs to work offline temporarily. Data should be synced again when back online.

This is a Public Google Drive Link for the final presentation video of the project showcasing the work done throughout the GSoC coding period.

Thoughts on GSoC

OpenMRS has given me ample opportunities to grow as a developer and technical writer through the 2 open source programs that I have been a part of, The experience I gather working for the community is invaluable.

I started contributing to OpenMRS during my junior year and continued throught the senior year, in this time I have grown from being a novice to making a lot of useful contributions to the OpenSource community and goes without saying this has been really rewarding for me as a student as well with the great exposure I got through these Open-Source Program.

Without Doubt Google Summer of Code and Google Season of Docs are great programs for students to make some real world contribution and grow exponentially in the process

I would like to thank everyone who has helped me in growing in openmrs specially my mentors cc @jwnasambu @rishabh997
