OpenMRS Implementers group changes 2015-03-05

On 5 March 2015 at 19:00 UTC, the OpenMRS Implementers mailing list will be moving from Google Groups to OpenMRS Talk. In order to support the community’s growth, we are moving our communications to a single location to which our OpenMRS.org infrastructure team has full ownership. We’ve been using and improving OpenMRS talk for nearly a year, are excited about its possibilities, and are excited to have you join us there.

As a current subscriber to this mailing list, here’s what you need to do.

If you do not follow these instructions prior to 5 March 2015 at 19:00 UTC, you will no longer receive messages related to implementing OpenMRS.

Our changes are complete and OpenMRS Talk is now our primary source of communication for OpenMRS implementers and users. Thank you for your patience and continued feedback!

Developers List is staying?

For now, yes … we’ll make further announcements about the Developers group once we’ve worked out remaining issues related to email interactions, along with any new bugs we discover during this transition.
