Hello Everyone, I am Shyam Shankar [OpenMRS id: https://wiki.openmrs.org/display/~shyam057cs/] . I am a 3rd year, Computer Science Engineering Undergraduate student from National Institute of Technology,Calicut in India .I would like to participate in Google Summer of Code 2012 as a Student Developer for OpenMRS.
While searching for suitable organizations in the GSoC program of previous years , I came across OpenMRS and I was immediately attracted to its banner "Write Code. Save Lives." I was very pleased to know that working with this noble organization would not only satisfy my technical thirst but also enable to make me feel good about myself too. :-) I have been programming in Java for about 2 years now. My Java experience includes developing 2 applications (and winning prizes for it) for MobMe CodeJam( an Indian online programming contest - http://codejam.mobme.in/results ) where the tasks were to build a spell checker which after spell checking an input document gives appropriate suggestions and and the second application was to record how an English word is used real time in the internet ( a very basic form) (http://codejam.mobme.in/questions,contestnames:spell and idiom). The spell-checker project and some of my other projects can be found in https://github.com/shyam057cs. I had already installed OpenMRS and also setup its Developer environment for Ubuntu 10.10, but unfortunately had to reconfigure my system and have installed Ubuntu 11.10 now. I am hoping to complete the installation and setup the developer environment by this weekend and begin work with some introductory tickets soon enough. I am truly excited to take part in this project and I hope I can make a meaningful contribution to it. Regards, -- Syam Sankar B-Tech CSE, NIT Calicut _________________________________________ To unsubscribe from OpenMRS Developers' mailing list, send an e-mail to [email protected] with "SIGNOFF openmrs-devel-l" in the body (not the subject) of your e-mail.
