Hi everybody,

I am Afroz Ahamad, a second year Computer Science undergraduate at BITS Pilani Hyderabad Campus, India. I have been coding for over a year and a half now and just the idea of saving lives with my code excites me. I hope I could participate in GSoC 2017, getting involved with the OpenMRS community and writing code that can save lives :smiley: .

I am interested in web development and I’m familiar with a few different languages (Javascript/PHP/SQL). I have worked with some Javascript libraries, both client-side(jquery) and server-side(nodejs/express/request/socket.io).

Previous working experience:

  1. I developed an anonymous chat platform - the working app can be found at eni-chat and the code here.
  2. I have worked with setting up a wiki for my college. I am also quite familiar with Mediawiki.
  3. I have worked on a WordPress website for FOSSBridge.

Also when I am not coding I love watching movies, reading novels and getting to know other people.

Hi everyone. I’m Trust Birungi, a software developer from Kampala, Uganda. I have been developing software for the last four years for web, desktop and Android. My focus is now on enterprise web application backend development. After seeing what the OpenMRS community has accomplished and through the encouragement of my professional mentor, @dkayiwa, I have decided to join the OpenMRS community and contribute as a developer and even in other ways.

I look forward to being a positive contributor to this community, making great connections with awesome people and solving exciting problems.

Hi there!

My name is Mary and I am a Training Manager at a rather well-known tech company in the Seattle area. Want to guess which one? I joined OpenMRS to help out with training and education materials. I look forward to working with some of you to help develop a place where we can share training material and also develop a standard curriculum to help people implement OpenMRS.

When I am not working, I like to read and cook. And because I like to eat what I’ve cooked, fitness is also a big part of my life.

I am looking forward to making a contribution to this group in my area of expertise.

Best, Mary

Hello everyone! I am Harisu fanyui a 3rd year computer engineering student of the unfiversity of buea i am new to opensource and am excited to contribute to openmrs. I love and spend my time in algorithms. i have learnt the C, php and Java technologies and i came to know about openmrs because i in collaboration with my friends were working on developing an electronic record keeping system for a clinic which we did using a php framework (Laravel) and with time we started seeing the need for a much robust system and it led us to openmrs as we asked our seniors and they told us of the existence of such a system. I am aspiring to controbute to openmrs through GSoC this year.

Hey guys, I am happy to join the community ! I am going to copty-paste my introduction from the GCI meet and greet page ! I am from India, Jaipur. Since a very young age technology has become a part of me and it has given me so much, that i don’t know if i would be able to ever pay it back. My ps2 used to be my only friend during my childhood, I was most of the time home alone as i lived with my dad and because i was just a kid i couldn’t really get out of the house. So then and there technology became a part of me! From J.A.R.V.I.S in iron man to the sick hacking skills of Skye(marvel character from a really great show AOS) they all inspired and made me desperate to have an AI of mine or be an amazing hacker (Not the bad one…). I LOVE GAMING AS WELL!. All of it was like my candyland for me. i could have joined Copyleft Games but OpenMRS seemed like the better way the idea of helping someone less fortunate then me is very special to me in a way i cannot describe it. It killed me to read news about certain people dying just because of a very minor disease (Can’t remember the specific name) in a government hospital due to some silly errors, which could be solved by creating a better platform for these hospitals! I barely have any friends and the fact that people of similar interests as mine in one place, and working on a similar goal just seems like a perfect opportunity for both to make friends and help the society! I know this was supposed to be a small introduction so i will end in just a line or 2 more , so bare with me.

I am a Huge marvel fan-boy, gamer, not yet a coder ( I consider myself novice in the field), and I m a huge geek! Not an ANIME FAN ! I love pizza and would take it as the only food on an island.

If you have similar interests as mine, reply and lets get cracking and helping people in need ! I have a lot of colleagues from around the world so i would not judge you if you speak “broken” English… If you want to know more reply !

I almost forgot to add that I also enjoy doing GFX and I am learning howto make games through online resources as of now !

Hi everyone, I’m going to paste my response from the Google Code-In Meet and Greet too :slight_smile:

I’m Mira from the USA! I’m a Junior in High School (16 years old), and I was introduced to Google Code-in by a teacher. I have never participated before. I just started learning code this year and think this is a great opportunity for me to advance my technological skills while applying it to the medical field. I love that OpenMRS provides a medical record system to developing countries! I have experience manually filing medical records and know how tedious it is; a computer-based system is much more organized and reliable.

My interests include volunteering (especially in health related areas), playing the piano and viola, baking/cooking, and scientific research.

It’s really cool that everyone is from different countries around the world :slight_smile:
