Your Guide to Getting Started

Hello OpenMRS Community!

If you’re new here and looking to contribute, especially through programs like Google Summer of Code (GSoC), you might be feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information. That’s perfectly normal! OpenMRS is a robust and complex platform, but don’t worry, I have spent the last few days exploring OpenMRS and I will try to provide you with all the help I can.

To make your journey easier, I’ve compiled a list of essential resources that will provide a solid foundation for understanding OpenMRS and its development:

Core Documentation and Guides:

Learning Resources:

Tips for Newcomers:

  • Start with the documentation overview to get a general understanding.
  • Focus on the areas that align with your interests and skills.
  • Don’t hesitate to ask questions on OpenMRS Talk! The community is very supportive.
  • Explore the OpenMRS Academy for structured learning.
  • Participate in community meetings.

PS: I am a newcomer too and if I missed anything maybe OpenMrs Team will guide you in a better way.

Happy coding!
