Dear Community,
We’re excited to announce the contributors selected for Google Summer of Code 2025 at OpenMRS!
This year, we were blown away by the number of thoughtful and high-quality applications. We listed 12 exciting project ideas, but unfortunately, OpenMRS was allocated only 8 slots by Google — meaning we had to make some extremely tough decisions.
Here are the selected projects and the amazing contributors who will be working with us this summer:
Project Title | Selected Contributor | Mentors |
---|---|---|
Immunization & Vaccination Schedule App for O3 | @chintu | @dennis @cioan |
Interactive Translation Builder for the Form Builder | @shettybharath | @nethmi @anjisvj |
Enhancing Performance Testing Infrastructure for OpenMRS | @jayg | @jayasanka @bawanthathilan |
Improved Implementer Tools | @harshthkkr | @vasharma05 @jnsereko |
Enhancing OpenAPI Documentation Generation | @capernix | @chibongho1 @mherman22 |
Replacing OpenMRS Standalone with a Modern, User-Friendly Alternative | @jonathan | @dkayiwa @wikumc |
Improved Audit Logging | @nsalifu | @wikumc @manojll |
Fix the Fast Data Entry Feature | @twiine | @samuel34 |

To all selected contributors
We’d love to get to know you a little better!
When you get a chance, please reply to this post with:
- Where are you from / currently based?
- Tell us about your project in a sentence or two
- What made you choose to contribute to OpenMRS?
- Share one (or more) interesting or fun facts about yourself (could be a hobby, a fun story, or something unique about you!)
A message to those who were not selected
First and foremost, thank you. Thank you for your time, your energy, and your belief in what we’re building at OpenMRS. We know how much work it takes to put together an application, and we genuinely appreciate your effort.
Not being selected doesn’t mean your application wasn’t good enough — far from it. In fact, we had to leave out many promising applications simply because of the limited slots. We saw potential. We saw passion. And we hope you won’t let this one decision stop you from continuing your journey.
Please don’t be discouraged.
GSoC is just one doorway, the OpenMRS community has many paths for you to grow, contribute, and build something meaningful. In fact, some of our most impactful contributors never did GSoC — they just showed up, contributed, asked questions, and grew into leadership roles.
You’re not alone, I’m here if you’d like to chat:

Or feel free to reach out to @Beryl.
Stay curious. Keep building. You belong here.
What’s next for accepted contributors and mentors:
- Reach out to your mentor and schedule a weekly 1:1 call
- Read the guidelines and set yourself up for success:
We’ll be hosting a orientation session for both contributors and mentors on 2025-05-14T12:00:00Z .
Calendar invites will be sent soon.
Let’s make this summer impactful, supportive, and fun.
