c.antwi · March 19, 2019, 6:20pm

Hello OpenMRS Community,

We are looking for a Release Manager for OpenMRS Reference Application 2.10, which is scheduled for release later this year. Are you aspiring to become a /dev/3, /dev/4, or /dev/5? Being a release manager is a valuable experience for any open source developer, lets you influence the roadmap and priorities for the community, and gives you the opportunity to make a substantial and prominent contribution to the OpenMRS mission. This is a crucial role that ensures the awesome contributions of various volunteers to be available to everyone.

The job of a release manager is not to do all the work; rather, to make decisions on what goes into the release and to guide the community through the release process .

Remember, we are a community that works together, so you will not be alone in the release process. We have a documented process, weekly project management calls to discuss issues, and several previous release managers in our community who can provide mentoring for you and answer your questions.

More information and criteria can be found here https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Release+Process

To volunteer to be Release Manager for OpenMRS Reference Application 2.10, reply to this message.

Skills Needed:

Time to be the release manager between April to September
Good Communication Skills
Basic DevOps skills - creating ssh keys, being able to ssh into a remote environment, basic file operations in a remote environment.
Being comfortable with different communication tools to interact with different members of the community.

Also, we have identified a Mentor Release Manager in the name of @k.joseph who will support the Release manager for 2.10 to move things forward.

Thanks

hello @c.antwi, i have an experience with doing these , but am wondering how am i exactly supposed to demonstrate here ?? thanks.

created SSH on my local machine here.

am using OpenSSH client which comes with git.

and i use SSH with my triton Remote server Accout

mozzy · April 23, 2019, 10:18am

Yes i can use talk , IRC , Uberconference .

with that, i have a little experience with filezilla (it is my preferred FTP client) when transfering files from my local machine to my cloud storage instances like DriveHq

So i use openSSH to generate ssh keys , and use fileZilla for file transfers

@c.antwi I hope this is the illustration you wanted

mozzy · April 24, 2019, 6:24am

Hi @c.antwi. Can you be more elaborative on how good we can illustrate that we meet the requirements??. Thanks

c.antwi · April 24, 2019, 12:48pm

@mozzy I have seen your post. For now what you have posted is sufficient. However what I think is more crucial is the time commitment required to complete the release process to the end. If you are sure that you have the bandwidth, then that’s amazing !

We should be able to announce who the release manager will be very soon

mozzy · April 24, 2019, 12:53pm
