» The Journey Continues ...

Google Summer of code 2008 is come close to a finish. But I would feel I just started my journey through the Open Source path. I believe the true value of summer of code for a student is neither the project nor the money, but getting engaged with the open source community for coming years. Its a pleasure to work with the vibrant OpenMRS community and I hope to be with them in the future.

For those who are wondering, why I still don't announce an official release of my module - its because there is still some work in progress which I believe necessary before doing a release. Currently in svn there is a working copy of note editor and anyone can try that. But before announcing about the project myself, I want to add the note type functionality using concept sets. Another point is that at last I have settled to use Fck Editor instead of Tiny MCE as it provides build in file/image upload subsystem and more options.

You can check back the current status of patient notes module - here in this blog, in the wiki page.

» At the starting week of second phase: Patient Note Writer

I have bit sloppy in blogging in the first term of SOC. Hope this won't happen for the 2nd term and wish to write at least once for each week. Now I am mainly doing two things - working on writing a complex Obs handler for rich text. Secondly studying on Hibernate and javascript (I found some lacking of mine here). I couldn't make work the image upload thing in rich text editors. And after discussion with Andreas, I am only concentrating on rich texts now without image of any file upload. I have also updated the project wiki page with more or less these corresponding information.

I have planned to attend the Google SOC meet up at Google Bangalore office, Sri is also excited by knowing about my plan. But I am very sad that It seems I would not able to make it. I have to travel from Bangladesh to India for the meet up and the meet up date (28th July) is between the chunk of my two exam date (26th July and 30th July). As I thought to travel cheaply (by train), so it would take more than two days to reach Bangalore from Dhaka. I really wanted the India trip and sad that I missed it. So I decided to give a trip to India may be in August or just after the SOC ends.

» Me, Google Summer of Code 2008 and OpenMRS














I have been accepted in Google Summer of Code 2008 program for working in a project of OpenMRS. This summer I will be working to create a Patient Note Writer module which will allow to add rich text observations in appropriate places/pages of the OpenMRS application. OpenMRS is an open source medical record system framework for developing countries. Its always nice to get accepted in programs like summer of code and its more nice to work for an Organization with a great cause. Another coincidence is that by profession I also work in software development related to the health care domain. So I am expecting an exciting summer with OpenMRS. I am also hoping to see OpenMRS deployed in Bangladesh in the future.

» First Week of GSOC

I didn't do much coding in first week. Rather it went after discussion of the exact requirement of Patient notes module which will result from my project. I tried to create an wiki page, which will be completed as per my project progress forward.

My module codes will reside here . Now I am trying to build an experimental module with the goals (given by my mentor Andreas) - add a tab to the patientDashboardForm.jsp (using
the extension point) which says something like 'Hello from '. Add a table indexed to patient id which has custom messages from each patient, so the display text could
change to ' says, '. Then adding an edit page for this message.
