Continuing the discussion from Volunteers wanted for OpenMRS Infrastructure Team!:
Late last year, we collected applications for OpenMRS.org infrastructure volunteers. It turns out we were a little bit ahead of ourselves, as the OpenMRS community had some new things in store for its organizational processes:
As a result, we now have an org chart for the OpenMRS Community Management group, and the infrastructure team specifically. That means we currently have 3 leadership roles to fill in the OpenMRS.org Infrastructure Team, and we’re looking for people like you!
Applying for these roles give you an opportunity to help influence the direction of the OpenMRS Community through your work, and gives you the opportunity to build and improve services used by hundreds or thousands of people. Read details about the roles below, then see the bottom of this post for information about how to apply.
