Hi everyone :waving_hand:, I’m Santosh Sanjay Barkade, a second-year Computer Engineering student. I’ve learned Java, Spring, Spring Boot, and REST APIs and recently started exploring open source development.

I found OpenMRS really interesting because it combines software engineering with real-world healthcare impact. I’m completely new to contributing, and I’m looking forward to understanding how things work here and learning from the community.

Any guidance or suggestions on where to start would be really appreciated

Hello everyone! :waving_hand: I’m Shubham Singh, a second-year Computer Engineering student. I’ve built several projects using Next.js, TypeScript, and the MERN stack, and I have beginner-level open-source experience from participating in GirlScript and Hacktoberfest.

While exploring different organizations, I came across OpenMRS—and it immediately caught my attention. The work you do in healthcare and the way you connect people through software is truly inspiring.

I’m excited to start contributing and to learn more about the ecosystem. Since I’m new to this organization, any guidance from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Looking forward to being a part of OpenMRS! GitHub: ShubhamSingh-dev

Hello everyone! I’m Sheetal, a second-year CS student eager to start contributing to OpenMRS for GSoC 2026.

My skills are strong in the modern stack: React.js, TypeScript, Node.js, and Express.js. This makes me keen to focus on the OpenMRS 3.0 (O3) Frontend work.

I am currently working on setting up the O3 environment using Docker.

While I’m waiting for the setup to complete, I wanted to introduce myself and ask: Where can I find the most current list of “Good First Issues” specifically for the O3 frontend? Knowing where to look will help me jump right into coding once my local instance is running.

Any immediate guidance would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.

My name is YashKoparkar and I’m an enthusiastic student developer interested in GSoC 2026.

My core technical focus is the intersection of java for robust backend systems and React/TypeScript for modern O3 frontend development . I believe this multi-stack proficiency, along with my Python and C++ skills, will allow me to contribute effectively across the platform, from the API core to the user interface. I am currently setting up the environment and actively looking for my first good first issue.
