Hello @njiddasalifu,
I have looked into the previous channels as you asked me to do. What do you think I should do next?

Hi everyone, I’m Chris Dare, a recent grad from Carnegie Mellon interested in increasing access to healthcare in Africa. When COVID hit, I had an introduction to digital healthcare through some projects in Ghana and found it to be extremely exciting.
I recently came across OpenMRS and consider it to be a really good solution for hospitals and small clinics. The community here looks amazing. I think I will learn a lot and make some social impact by being active here.
My growing skillsets lie in software engineering, product management and a little bit of machine learning. Concerning software engineering, I’m comfortable working on the backend (packages and REST APIs) with python frameworks. I’m also open to working with Java frameworks as well. On machine learning, I’ve built predictive analytics models with PyTorch and Sklearn - as well curating, analyzing and preprocessing datasets.
I’d love to:
- Learn how to implement OpenMRS for a clinic
- Help improve the core platform
- Learn how to design/build apps that stand stand on top of the OpenMRS to help users/clinics achieve more.
I have also checked out the demo version of OpenMRS v3 and would like to set up a running copy on my laptop to take it for a spin. Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to set up as well as continuing my journey in this community?

Dear OpenMRS Community,
My name is Sujith, and I am currently in my final year pursuing a Bachelor of Technology in Artificial Intelligence. Previously, I had the opportunity to work as a Research and Development intern at ADP, where I gained valuable experience and insights into the field. My skill set includes proficiency in JavaScript, TypeScript, React, Angular, Node.js, Express, Next.js, Git, Python, and C++.
I am genuinely enthusiastic about leveraging my skills and knowledge to contribute to the OpenMRS community. However, as I am new to this environment, I would greatly appreciate guidance and assistance in understanding how to get started. It would be wonderful if someone could provide me with insights and directions on how best to contribute effectively.
The prospect of collaborating with like-minded individuals to make a meaningful impact in the realm of medical record systems is both exciting and motivating to me. I am eager to engage with the OpenMRS community, learn from its members, and contribute my expertise to this incredible initiative.
Looking forward to guidance and collaboration,
