Hi everyone! My name is Julianna Kohler, and I’m a new Sr. HIS Advisor for USAID. I come most recently from ConvergeHEALTH by Deloitte, where I built software to house, catalog, and analyze health care data for Pharma organizations. We worked pretty closely with the OHDSI community, which I think has some overlap with this community (@paul, I think you know my friend Kristin Kostka, nee Feeney). I hope that I can find ways to contribute to the community!

Welcome to the community and we look forward to your contribution. Kindly click here to get started. Just in case you need help, feel free to reach out to the community through Talk or IRC.
Greetings! My name is Kelly Roberts. I am a christian family physician from Florida in the United States. In addition to my work as a family physician, I am a medical informatics lead for our office of about 20 medical providers. I am in the process of pursuing a subspecialty in Clinical Informatics. I am interested in contributing to OpenMRS mostly as a beta tester and to provide discussion from an end user position. Eventually, I hope to work with missions organizations to help set up an EMR in resource poor settings. I am also interested in the possible application of OpenMRS for direct primary care. My programming skills are extremely limited, but I have a lot of experience as the human on the the human-computer interface. I hope I will be able to make a contribution to this community.

Hello comrades, Iam Evelyn Namubiru a student from Uganda who is new to the OpenMrs community. Am extremely excited to join you people
We are glad to have you in this community. Kindly which area are you interested in i.e developer, documentation, analysis, design etc
@juliekohler Are there specific areas you would be interested in ? Design and Improvement of UI, Maintenance, Innovation projects, fundraising for ongoing community work?
We have a number of exciting initiatives
@norman My name is Cynthia and I am the TPM for OpenMRS. I would be happy to assist you get this idea/concept set up.
Normally the practice has been that you would post your idea or concept on talk as new thread as described here Help us brainstorm OpenMRS project ideas From there interested community members can express their interest to collaborate, then a call , normally during our design forum slots to establish norms of collaboration
We also have an upcoming Scrum of Scrums in the next few weeks, where a number of other implementers would be present and share what they are doing and a space to identify groups who can collaborate on this.
I think possible next steps could be expressing your interest at this Help Us choose a date for upcoming Scrum of Scrums Q3 2019 forum then we take it from there

HI Everyone,
Patient information for rural clinics and hospitals in Ethiopia are my main interests. I have some funding to get started. There is a university in the town that will provide some technical support. The system needs to be stand alone and not depend on Internet availability. We will fund additional clinics if we can get the support of those who operate the clinics. We need some one with experience with MRS to advise us.
I served in the US Peace Corps in Ethiopia a while back and have kept contacts that that have helped me do projects in the past. I had a technical background but most of my career is in business. I live in Provo, Utah, USA. Let me know if you may have an interest in helping me help get started with MRS.

Hi There
@billgraff Could I get a better understanding of your requirements so that we can point you to those who are working on similar aspects?
We also have a design forum slot available today at 4pm UTC on https://www.uberconference.com/openmrs if would like to discuss or you can create a talk post with that information if you are not available.
Thanks
I have been active in education and technology in The Wolaita district of SNNPR in Ethiopia. It has one 2.5 million people and one main hospital. There are at least 9 clinics. Most of them have power but power is a problem.
The administrator off the hospital has requested help with medical record keeping. The problem he wants to start with is the imaging department. They are based on film and patients carry their X-rays around with them at the hospital.
Our mission is to help the most needy and we think we can do this by focusing on the surrounding districts. Our ideal long term solution would be to have each clinic have an independent patient record keeping system. It would be compatible with the hospital so that records could be interchanged with the hospital. The connection part may have to wait a while but we would like to get started if we can.
WE have already funded 20 servers and hundreds of chrome books in Ethiopia and think this is a worthwhile project if we can use MRS. Do you have an opinion?
Hi all!
Since I did this OpenMRS Talk on-ramp thing a bit backwards, I’ll just link to the intro post I created when booting up a new Talk topic about a FHIR-focused webinar series.

Hello Everyone,
I am Vanshika, a Third Year Undergraduate from IIT Dhanbad. I have an experience of 2 years in Android Development. I am an Open Source Contributor and a blogger. I am a GSoC’19 student @Wikimedia. I want to involve myself in OpenMRS Community and participate in Mentorship program for GCI’19. Can someone please help me in getting started with Community.
