Week 11 be like seventh heaven! ;)

Major things in my life this week:

1. Got to transfer repository to OpenMRS. Major step

2. Work on Encounters, Providers

3. Moved visits

4. Blockers : Issues with encounters and providers- missed scrum 😦

5. Long missed call with my mentor to sort things out. Recollecting the major jargon spoken that day.

6. Work to RushUpAhead to work all of the functions get working right in the module rather than core.

7. Long term turning point for me personally as well as professionally at Open MRS and otherwise.

#Long Awaited #Moved Repo # WorkON! 😀

Week 10 – Updates

Work on
– Persons migration
– Solving compatibility

> An amazing mentor and one of the best teachers with patience in abundance 😛

– Work done on User Management functions

– To soon deploy the module in OpenMRS

#Learning #Never Ends! 🙂

Mid Term, Already! :D

Here it goes, the mid week for the Summer of Code program! Woah! 😀

Look forward to more knowledge, more experience, and more feel good.

Updates:
– Call with Mentor
– Get Admin Screen working
– Work on User Management functions
– The video is in the making, will soon upload here
– Included dependency to openmrs-api -> Updated project
– Asked regarding setup conventions on OpenMRS Ask

#Yet another good week 🙂
#AnAmazingLearningExperienceInLife till date 😎

Most Awaited Week ahead! :D

…….and, here is the coding week just few days away! 😀
#Going to start soon with the Best Learning Experience.

DONE:

• Initial interaction’s with my primary mentor- Burke
• Introducing myself on the Developer’s Call (21-05-2015)
• Came to a conclusion where to start with and how to go about and experiment
  (Thanks to Wyclif, Darius and Burke 🙂 )

TO DO:

• Implement tasks given by Burke
  As suggested, planning to start by dividing the task into bits and start of with:
  – Removing the admin UI
  – Build Core
  – Run the module with the UI
• Stay active on IRC and attend scrum meets! 😀 (Oh, of-course, the master is my backup mentor!)——————————————————————-

  TIPS grasped:

• Commit early, Fail fast 😉
• Forget to hesitate in asking for help if stuck!
  ——————————————————————–
  #OldIsGold – Oh, how can we lose on gold? 😉 The Legacy UI 😎
  Just stay updated to see the Legacy UI work perfect in a module! 😀#GettingStarted..! 😀

Pre-Launch Week

Here comes the final week of the Community Bonding and as usual my long blog post.

Ah, well.. really? Community Bonding? Period.
It was since inception(September-for me) that there was a bond built with OpenMRS. Frankly, just the initial tag line “Write Code. Save Lives” – has bonded tightly within my thoughts which let the flow of action.

Initially, it was tough to cope up. However, Daniel Kayiwa, Wyclif Luyima, Darius Jazayeri and *plenty* others (..I cannot really mention everyone here) helped me to overcome my mistakes and get better every time I request for a review 😀
I feel really thankful to be in the right place with patience-filled guidance. Though in the early days, I had a fear of how everyone would take my faults as it is an open source, latter days got me used to the fact that “Accept mistakes openly, that’s how you learn to grow better”.

Learned way too much, in terms of technical details and also grew up as a person, hoping to learn much more in this special journey of GSoC and contribute better in an improvised way to OpenMRS.

Throughout this short period, few noticeable points:

– I must commit that its been really inspiring to see the project discussion’s on OpenMRS talk: One of my best observances so far, in which each and everyone has involved and given their opinions to give a positive push to the students.

– # Salutes to Kayiwa’s patience in dealing with every person in a kind way.

OpenMRS journey has been real memorable so far. No regrets, no blockers for a long duration.

WEEKLY UPDATE:
To start with my project, I am ready with the module deployed to the repository and will push future modification to that repo itself. All set for retiring the legacy UI to let in the contemporary change to our OpenMRS UI.
Please check the basic module deployed to the repository here: https://github.com/Tharunya/openmrs-module-legacyui

*Any suggestions at any point of time throughout my project are welcome: Co-GSoCer’s Mentor’s, OpenMRS Board and OpenMRS community*

Looking forward to an amazing project season ahead this summer.
Last but not the least, I am glad that Burke Mamlin, the creator of this opportunity to work as a part of this organization, is my mentor. And now, it’s my turn to make sure that he will have the best from my side for the Summer of Code 2015 and further.
Hoping to meet all your expectations 😀

Looking forward to the call and get started 😀
#CodingAwaits
All the very best to all the GSoCer’s from OpenMRS. Hope we all succeed to make OpenMRS proud! 😀

OpenMRS : Proposal Accepted!

#StartTheMostCherishableJourney=Checked 😀

Finally, my proposal for the project Module for Legacy UI has been accepted for Google Summer of Code 2015 – OpenMRS.

Assigned Project: Module for Legacy UI 😀

Projects main idea:  To move legacy UI functions out of the platform into a module that these implementations can install until they are able to migrate away from it. In order to retire the Legacy UI as planned, it is required to move the implementations and modules that still rely on it in order to maintain backwards compatibility.
Project Priority: High

Find the Project Proposal here: Tharunya Pati’s Wiki
Primary Mentor: Burke Mamlin 😀

Backup Mentor: Wyclif Luyima 😀

I thank each one of the community members to have shown trust in me and I am glad I have been alloted one of the major priority projects. 🙂

Hopefully, will live up to (or cross) the expectations of the community 😉

Looking forward to an experience filled and an amazing learning summer 2015 ^_^

Just the Beginning :)

GSoC it is! 😀

“Google Summer of Code” is a global program that offers student developers stipends to code for various open source software projects.

The fundamental idea behind OpenMRS, one of the organisations, is to build an Open Source electronic medical record system platform. Looking forward to work for the OpenMRS and contribute to Health IT.

As of now, created an email address. Excited much to learn more.
