OpenMRS is excited to announce Ivange Larry (@ivange94) as the Volunteer of the Month for September :sparkles: :tada:! As a community we are all grateful for Ivange’s efforts as a mentor, helpdesk staff, and a valuable community member. Thank you for all your contributions @ivange94!

This month we decided to conduct a Skype Interview and have posted it as a podcast onto our Spreaker account. (Note: I am planning on buying on new mic to improve my audio quality.)

I had the chance to listen to this yesterday, and I thought it was awesome.

Ivange, your work for the community is humbling!

Yusuf, thanks for taking the time to make the podcast! It was fantastic, and showed up immediately on my iPhone. :smiley:

@ykarim250 can we have a text version of this, for those who may not have the bandwidth for audio? I have stepped in their shoes and hence have not yet listened to this too. :wink:

Not only the lack of bandwidth but if they’re hard of hearing too…We want to be inclusive!

Thanks everyone. @ykarim250 thanksk for the transcript. You must have gone through a lot of trouble to do that. A few misunderstandings but no biggie. Just wanted to point this out I’m a very fun person I think I actually said I’m NOT a very fun person :joy:

@ivange94 Haha, thought that was what you said but wasn’t so sure. If you have any other things you’d like to fix, I can give you edit access to the document. Thanks!

Congrats @ivange94, well deserved :slight_smile:

It’s been great knowing and working alongside together for the past couple of years. The ups and downs we’ve been through during the GSoC journey will always be something I cherish. Wish you good luck ahead in your journey!

@ykarim250 Thanks a ton for taking the time to host an audio podcast. Really appreciate the initiative ! We’ve been interacting with the community members via Talk and social mediums for so long but listening to them surely adds another dimension and helps to get to know them better!
