Dear Community, Today I want to celebrate @beryl and @jayasanka - their teamwork on this year’s GSOC has led to record-breaking applicant numbers: 183 applications!!

Last year at the GSOC conference (“Mentors Summit”) in Silicon Valley, other orgs couldn’t believe that we’d had as many as 60 applicants. Just look at us now :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

A HUGE thank you to everyone who is helping in OpenMRS’ GSOC 2025, as mentors and more - we can’t do it without all of you! E.g. thinking of our mentors this year @bawanthathilan @wikumc @dkayiwa @manojll @nethmi @ibacher @samuel34 @dkigen @cioan @chibongho1 @mherman22 @lumuchris256 @anjisvj @vasharma05 @jnsereko and anyone else I may have accidentally missed!

And of course, special thanks to our applicants: We are touched that out of the 200 organizations participating in GSOC this year, you chose OpenMRS. :heart: :heart_hands:
