Good day, everybody! My name is Adishree Bharadwaj. I am a Computer Science student currently working with Java. I am really excited to be an OpenMRS contributor - looking forward to being a collaborative of a team player and learning as much about this community as i can!
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.

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well!
Quick update — I have finished setting up my environment: Java 8, Maven, IntelliJ, OpenMRS SDK and Docker
I’m now ready to start running the OpenMRS Reference Application and explore the codebase. Could someone please guide me to a beginner-friendly issue (intro ticket) that I can start working on?
Thank you!

Hi everyone,
My name is Rauf, I’m a backend Java developer from Azerbaijan. I work mainly with Java and Spring Boot on payment/banking systems (microservices, REST APIs, encryption, integrations with Visa/Mastercard, etc).
I’m very interested in contributing to OpenMRS long-term and also preparing for future GSoC participation, mainly on the Java backend side. I’ve just created my OpenMRS ID and I’m now setting up the development environment.
If you have suggestions for good first issues (especially backend-related), I’d be happy to hear them.
Thanks! Rauf
