@matth Welcome to the community! We’re glad you discovered OpenMRS and thought of us for this internal hackathon. It sounds like a great idea - and the timing is good as well.
If you haven’t seen it yet, I suggest checking out our Guide for the New & Curious. Another option: in February, we’re hosting an informational webinar for newcomers that is designed to help you get to know our community, how we’re organized, and the different tools & technology used to make contributions to OpenMRS. If you’re interested in joining this webinar, please share your preference for dates via this Talk thread.
About potential use cases: We’re currently brainstorming projects for GSoC and our 2023 Fellows. We do this openly on Talk for a few weeks and then hone in on a few that have high value for OpenMRS implementers on the ground. We can both piggy back on those existing efforts or put out a specific call for hackathon as we’ve done for past Hackathons.
About a dedicated contact person, the technical point person will vary, depending on the use case or project that your internal hackathon will work through. In the meantime, our Global Events Manager @christine can help organize things - and connect you with the right people and documentation to get things set up, etc as the potential use cases emerge and take shape.
Happy to have you here - and please reach out with any questions!
