Welcome! Please introduce yourself

Hello all,

I am Mayur Patil, currently a CS grad student ( Cal State,Long Beach), here to get detailed information about this wonderful project & the community. I am new to open source development and would love to gain knowledge about the same. Along with my teammate (Monil Shah), i am working on analyzing this project on various technical factors, as a part of my Software engineering assignment.I take this task as a great learning opportunity.

Thanks to the developers for sharing this platform and allow beginners to follow.

Looking forward to have a productive experience! :v:

Hello everyone! This is Sarthak Mishra, pre final year student of B.E from India. I am working on Android since past 2 years and aspire to build career in the field. I have been a summer intern at IIT Bombay for last summers. Furthermore, i am the Founder of Scriptink which is a non-profit organization working in the field of Arts&Literature having android App, deployed on Play Store, as the platform for users.

I wonder to work with OPENMRS on an Android project in GSOC 2020.

Hi My name is Pat Montani, and I am the founder of a company Cloud Empowerment , see cloudempowerment.com

We started out to solve another problem and ended up getting pulled into the Open MRS community. I’m a technology entrepreneur who decided 15 years ago to help on the health side in Africa. I folded Bicycles for Humanity, we have delivered over 300,000 bicycles to Africa, with over 75,000 going to community health workers. As tax’s went up to deliver bikes, we started empowerment.org which put 55 gig of great education and health content on a memory stick and started giving it away for free. today entire countries use this for a big part of community health education .

When we brought 5000 bikes to karamoja, uganda, I fell in love with he region and it’s people and started a tourism company there. With few health resources in the region, we set about trying to solve the problem of getting great content to those with no money, plus a basic health record solution for the those on the edge. WE also recognized that with expensive and slow internet, a new odel ws needed and we started using a combination of cloud services and network addressable storage devices that allowed us to manage the infrastructure remotley. In our part of Africa, there are zero technical in he field and it was easier to support end users and health care providers centrally.

We loved OpenMRS and started thinking about how to add value around it for all to increase efficiencies and to help more people gain access to better health care. We are doing 3 things that might be useful to many the Open MRS community.

  1. We can host the program in our cloud and manage all technical aspect to deal with hosting and security.

  2. Over the last 30 years we have installed hundreds of remote storage devices for the oil and gas industry in East Africa. Today we run web servers and and application on them and manage them remotely. it is very easy for us to manage anyone’s OpenMRS on these redundant network devices, and now anyone in the field can manage the application of Open MRS and not all of the technical backstop stuff.

  3. Today we give away our App data management solution to all community health groups for free. OpenMRS woks great at the main centre, but as you move out form there, and with low bandwidth or no bandwidth, we decided to through an API, feed dat from our simple front end to OpenMRS, allowing remote and isolated health care workers to connect in and be a part of the program, yet, with a fraction of the data and skills needed on the edge.

My purpose is not to sell everyone on an idea, the remote app and the movement of the data to teh nark storage device or the cloud is a free service for all globally. We love what the community around OpenMRS has done and hopefully some of the things we do, help many of you provider a higher, more efficient level of service to all. There is an animation on our website that highlights what we do and why. Thank you for your tie, if we can help anyone in any way with connecting to the last mile or the edge, please le us know. thanks , pat

Hi @varung31

After i open the link for Jira tickets, i get the following: “This gadget cannot be displayed on your dashboard. This could be due to a licensing problem or an application error. If you need this gadget, contact your administrator for assistance. Otherwise, you can remove it from your dashboard.”

@raff sir, how to get through this?

@sarthaksarm you need to cut a ticket to Jira administrators before you have access to an account. Please request access from the link.
