Kenya hackathon
We had a very successful hackathon this week in Eldoret, Kenya. I will let someone else (@jdick?) post a more complete recap of it here. But here’s a gif that shows some of what was built by the participants. We had around 20-30 devs working on it! Very fun, we learned a lot, and everyone I think everyone was very excited about close collaboration between Ampath, Kenya EMR, Uganda EMR, Faces (Tanzania), Path, and Medic Mobile.
This gif is not a final anything, but the result of a hackathon. Notice that we changed the “Find Patient Record” link in the ref app to take you into the new SPA code. This is the proposed migration path for those using JSPs/GSPs. Read more at openmrs-rfc-frontend/0005-migrating-from-jsps-gsps.md at master · openmrs/openmrs-rfc-frontend · GitHub
