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
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
My name’s Yusuf Karim and I’m currently a junior (16 yrs. old) in the U.S. Some things about me: I’ve loved technology ever since I was 4 (would always tinker around on the home computer). Some interests of mine include robotics, programming (probably my favorite hobby), and biology. It’s my first time participating in Google Code In and I’m very eager to start and meet new people along the way. OpenMRS to me seems like the perfect way to delve into open source programming : doing something that not only helps me improve my skills but also helps many people worldwide.
Hi to everyone

Hello Eveybody
My name is Jaycee MBALLA, i’m a system and network administrator from Cameroon. As i work in the health field, i just discovered OpenMRS via the Bahmni project, and i’m really excited to discover all the features. This will be a great tool for our hospitals, and i am planning to suggest it to our manager so that we can implement it. I count on your help in case of difficulties. Thanks
Hi everyone,
I am Apratim Ranjan Chakrabarty from Jamshedpur, India. I am keen to work with OpenMRS for Google Coode-In 2016-2017 and i am also looking forward to know a lots of things
Thank You.
Hello Everybody
My name is Magda Patsiangoura and i am sτudying at Computer Science Department in Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in Greece. I am very interested in learnng open source projects and i chose OpenMRS because it related with medical informatics. I have studied Java and i would like testing this code. I would appreciate if you accept me in your group and i commit to do my best.
Thanks in advance.
my name is Florian and I’m currently working on my Master’s degree in computer science on the Berlin Institute of Technology. I realized I wanted to get some of my skills in Java development up to date again before looking for a job next year, so I browsed the web for interesting open source application and ended up here. I’ve always wanted to see and know how I could put my CS knowledge to use to make the world just a tiny bit better. OpenMRS sounds like just the thing, and I’m looking forward to getting to work on my first issue, whatever that may be. I hope I will learn and be of use to the community and the people that depend on OpenMRS.
I’m Collins Nji from Cameroon. I’m currently in my final year in High School
and I study Computer Science as a major.
I’m passionate about Open-Source development and in my free time,
I create applications that are aimed at helping students manage their school
work and schedules (I haven’t published any yet but I will pretty soon)
When I’m not sitting in-front of a monitor and keyboard, I go out to take
photographs of nature and play with my cats. There’s a bunch of other things about
me that will be too much for me to write here, so to know more visit my website

hey, Am Alban Manishimwe from uganda, am doing a postgraduate course in Applied ICT and Health Leadership, am so happy today for having been part of the MRS immersion session at Outbox hub.
Thanks to Steven for the session.
So nice to meet you all and very excited to be part of this amazing community.
Am Catherine Kabahuma, an IT professional currently pursuing a Master of Health Informatics at Makerere University School of Public Health in Uganda.
I have always been passionate about health equity and I think OpenMRS is one of the tools that will help us accomplish exactly that and other greater things in the future of Health and IT. I am new to OpenMRS and not much of a programmer but I hope to impact communities the world-over with whatever contribution I can make to OpenMRS as my strengths lie in implementation and technical support. Otherwise I will be very happy to interact with a mentor as am so looking forward to being an OpenMRS expert
Hi!
My name is Shivani, and I am really passionate about learning new things. I enjoy reading, cooking, and coding. I am currently learning new languages and can’t wait to be fully experienced! I believe that is it incredibly important to give back to our community, and that is one of the main reasons why I have put in over 350+ volunteer hours. I have reintroduced and started a DECA chapter and am leading a shoe drive to help the Soles4Souls organization!
