Welcome! Please introduce yourself

Hi everyone

I’m Nicola, I’m completing a Bachelors in Computer Science with the Open University in England part time, working around my day job as a Business Analyst. I’m completely new to open source, always felt a bit clueless when trying to get started but I have knowledge of Java, Python, SQL, Ruby and basic HTML. OpenMRS really appeals to me - if it can help save lives I’m in!

I’d like to help out in anyway I can, probably starting small with bugs/testing or something? My love is in programming, testing and hacking (nothing illegal!). Hopefully I can make this my career one day.

In the little spare time I have away from a computer I enjoy rock climbing and catching up with friends. Looking forward to working alongside you all :slight_smile:

Hello everyone!

I’m Avijit Ghosh, a 2nd year UG student from IIT Kharagpur, India. I came into this community around end-Jan, 2016, and have since then fixed a ton of bugs and added new features to the Openmrs Android Client project. I currently monitor issues for the Client repository and help out when the pull requests leave something to be desired. :slight_smile:

I’m mostly found on Telegram @AvijitGhosh82 ( I love push notifications ). In my free time I like to look at the latest Android devices and drool at them. Ping me for any Android related gossip! :slight_smile:
