Subject: [cs-ugrads] Write Code! Save the World! Summer 2010!
a few of us at uw have long standing projects with openmrs and
partners in health. one of the core openmrs/pih folks has moved to
seattle and this sounds like a good opportunity to add to those
collaborations! as a bonus, you can even work on features that connect
openmrs to uw’s own open data kit.

Write Code! Save the World! Summer 2010!
Would you like to spend your summer …
– contributing to an exciting Open Source project
– helping a local non-profit that’s been doing medical work in
developing countries for 30 years.
– writing code that might be rolled out in hospitals in Haiti, Rwanda,
Peru, and 20+ other countries
– getting some J2EE web application development experience on your resume
Well, then come join us for a summer of code! The prestigious Google
Summer of Code (code.google.com/soc) pays students to spend the summer
working on open source projects. You will spend 11 weeks writing code
for a real project, on top of a real application that real people use.
OpenMRS (openmrs.org) is an open source electronic medical record
system, primarily aimed at developing countries. And it’s a GSoC
mentoring organization.
Partners In Health (pih.org) is a Boston-based non-profit with 30
years of experience bringing medical care to developing countries, and
8 years of experience implementing electronic medical records
technology in challenging settings.
PIH is a co-founder/contributor to the OpenMRS project and we have
several developers who will be acting as mentors for GSoC projects
this summer. We have a preference for Seattle-area students that we
can work with in person. So, if you are a Seattle-based student
(undergrad, grad, or just-graduating) who wants to do some real-world
software development, then we want to hear from you.
The GSoC application period is from March 29 to April 9. So check out
OpenMRS’s summer of code page
(http://openmrs.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010) and look for a project
you like. If you’re in the Seattle area and want to talk to us
directly, email Darius at djazayeri@pih.org.
