Hi OpenMRS Community,
I wanted to take a moment to share my experience with Google Summer of Code (GSoC) and express my heartfelt gratitude to the OpenMRS community.
Being a part of GSoC with OpenMRS has been an incredible learning journey for me. From exploring the core repository to working on real-world healthcare solutions, every step has deepened my technical skills and strengthened my understanding of collaborative open-source development. The mentorship, support, and welcoming nature of this community made all the difference—I never felt alone, even when things got challenging.
I’m especially thankful to my mentors @wikumc and @manojll and fellow contributors who were always ready to guide, review, and encourage me. This experience has helped me grow both as a developer and as a person, and I look forward to continuing my contributions to OpenMRS in the future.
If anyone is considering contributing to OpenMRS or applying for GSoC, I highly recommend it—you’ll not only gain technical experience but also become part of a mission-driven community that’s truly making a difference in global health.
Thank you again, OpenMRS!
