Hi. My name is Nina and I am a Computer Science graduate from Ireland.

I have been going through the process of learning how to build and run the tests. I am keen to try contribute to an issue.

I have a technical issue with my login on the site - perhaps someone could tell me if this is normal?

When I go to this page it tells me that I am logged in: https://id.openmrs.org/

However when I visit this page it tells me that I am not logged in and my username / password is not recognised: https://issues.openmrs.org/secure/Dashboard.jspa

I have tried resetting my password.

Is this normal? Thanks!

Hi!

My name is Kai and I’m a computer science bachelors graduate from Norway. Primarily i enjoy hiking and otherwise enjoying activities out in the open.

I am still fumbling about a bit in the computer science field, still not quite sure what i would like to commit myself towards. Health informatics does seem very exciting, and i hope to be able to contribute to this project while also learning a lot. Currently working through the developer guidebook.
