Yes, I am delighted to meet future managers like yourself on this forum! I am Lois Nakibuuka of Uganda, an open minded, optimistic individual who appreciates the immense potential in the many possibilities on this forum that are available to change the world! As an educator and administrator, I have mentored a range of people globally - some already on Open MRS! My interest and expertise in languages has attracted me to the coding language and I would like to further explore the various mediums through which it can be executed. I appreciate the splendid opportunities this platform affords; to be part of the answer to some of the world’s issues is just grand! ---

Hii Everyone! I’m a 17 year old beginner developer, I was Google Code-in 2018 participant for OpenMRS, last year I mainly focused on designing tasks becuase I didn’t really had much experience with Development work, so this year I’m back for GCI 2019, hoping to be able contribute by code. I should have introduced myself earlier, but somehow I misssed it. I’m a student from India, hoping to get some experience about open-source software development working with OpenMRS. Thank you! ---
