Congratulations to @dmytro.trifonov! It was a difficult decision but I’m 100% confident this will be a fun and productive summer! **Next steps:** See @michael’s post below: > [@GSoC 2016 students: Congratulations & next steps](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/gsoc-2016-students-congratulations-next-steps/5863): > > Congratulations to the [10 students selected to work with OpenMRS during Google Summer of Code 2016](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/organizations/5846698312073216/#projects)! We’re very excited to this excellent group of [@GSoC2016students](https://talk.openmrs.org/groups/GSoC2016students) as part of our community, and look forward to the work you’ll do together with your mentors and the greater OpenMRS community. Please read this entire post carefully. After reading this post, there are several steps you must take immediately. Failure to perform any of these tasks before the end of the community bonding period on 22 M… As for the project itself: Take the weekend and relax and go celebrate! Next week, let’s touch base and plan out the project. I want it to be successful. ---

Let me know when you have some time so we can plan this out in a bit more detail. ---

Hi, Robert! What way for of discussion do you prefer: video/audio call, or hangout chat? Or something else? I will find time for discussion during this week, what time do you prefer? ---

Per @michael’s recent post, we must do this over IRC/Telegram **publicly** …Since I would prefer both of us – I prefer Telegram but we have an IRC bot gateway. > [@Where to have your project discussions?](https://talk.openmrs.org/t/where-to-have-your-project-discussions/5932): > > Hi [@GSoC2016students](https://talk.openmrs.org/groups/GSoC2016students) … by now you are probably excited and ready to start discussing your project with your mentor. Please remember a few things: Most importantly, we’re an open source community, so we do our work in public. This means you should avoid direct 1-to-1 emails, video/voice chats, Skype meetings, Google Hangouts, instant messages, etc. (The one exception is if you’re discussing confidential or personal information that should not be publicly disclosed. This is rare.) As a resul… I saw and liked your plan for the frontend design but we need to think very carefully about how we do the backend I’d prefer not to bring things down. I assume you are still thinking of React (I like that) – maybe think about the components and how things will be connected to each other (if any). I’m totally willing to do ES6/ES2015 here – inheritance will buy us a lot. Definitely consider a material design UI – it’s purdy. I want to involve @michael @ryan, @maany (these 3 are going to be the occasional users so their opinion matters), @plypy(my backup, his opinion matters), and @elliott(if he wants to be part of the this discussion) I will post a more detailed idea of where I see it going later this week. ---

@dmytro.trifonov, I’d also like you to participate in the IRC scrum meeting – it’s a way I can track your progress easily (in addition to your blogging and periodic PR’s 🙂 ---

@dmytro.trifonov, are you available to chat on either [Telegram](https://telegram.me/openmrs) or IRC? We’d do so in the OpenMRS Chat in either case. I’d like to touch-base and see how you’re doing. ---

We could also use uberconference for discussions over voice/video(screenshare) 😃 ---

@dmytro.trifonov, Sorry for missing on Saturday - you were earlier than agreed, sorry! However, getting a tad worried you haven’t come back at all 🙂 – I don’t want you dropping out! We need to plan. I"m in Atlantic City,NJ right now however but can set aside some time. We can also do it here…I know you detailed your plan in your proposal, but let’s make that public now. ---

@dmytro.trifonov, I need you to be more active on Talk, and/or IRC/Telegram. If you are not more active, then I have to fail you right off the bat. ---
