Wow!!! I was accepted into Google Summer of Code 2009!
The message above (and all the exclamation marks) should be enough to give you a clue about how excited I am. This is the first year I’ve applied to Google Summer of Code (GSOC), and although I only had two days to write an application (due to only being informed about the existence of such program two days before the application submittal deadline), my mentors put their trust on me. To everyone at OpenMRS, I’m sure you won’t regret it!
I’ll be working with OpenMRS in a WYSIWYG HTML Form Designer to complement the existing HTML Form Entry Module. This new module would allow to visually (and easily) create customizable forms for data entry in the OpenMRS system. You can see more information on this project here
About Google Summer of Code (GSOC)
Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a global program that offers student developers stipends to write code for various open source software projects. We have worked with several open source, free software, and technology-related groups to identify and fund several projects over a three month period. Since its inception in 2005, the program has brought together nearly 2500 students and 2500 mentors & co-mentors from nearly 100 countries worldwide, all for the love of code. Through Google Summer of Code, accepted student applicants are paired with a mentor or mentors from the participating projects, thus gaining exposure to real-world software development scenarios and the opportunity for employment in areas related to their academic pursuits. In turn, the participating projects are able to more easily identify and bring in new developers. Best of all, more source code is created and released for the use and benefit of all.
