Congratulations to everyone who participated in the hackathon at the end of OMRS17 here in Malawi, for making it a success! Thanks of course to all the developers who participated, but I’d also like to call out @sanjayap for helping to organize, and @ssmusoke, @ball, and Maganizo for proposing the projects that we worked on. There were four teams, who worked on: 1. Adding condition lists to the reference application dashboard 2. Implementing the Patient Flags UI in an OWA 3. Integrating Medic Mobile to OpenMRS via OpenHIM 4. Upgrading a Malawi database from OpenMRS 1.7 to 2.x …and I hope that many of them can share their progress in another talk thread (maybe in the #dev category) and link it here! (I already see [OMRS17 Hackathon Condition list](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/omrs17-hackathon-condition-list/14622/1)) It was great to hear that people really learned a lot during this hackathon and that they found it a worthwhile experience. Some assorted comments people made at the end: - Learned about SDK, and RefApp architecture, in two days. More than I expected! - Learned a lot about OpenHIE - Much better than last year because it was organized around everyone actually working on things - Good learning process because I learned how to build and OWA and use my JavaScript skills - Learned how to create data in the OpenMRS data model. Will be helpful when we try to integrate Medic Mobile - I feel 70% confident that I can create an OpenHIM mediator - Was able to meet people to whom I can ask questions. Yesterday I met Wyclif. Though we were not able to complete the task I feel like I learned something. ---
