Get Involved

Thank you for your interest in contributing to OpenMRS! Check out our mission and release road map to better understand where we are today and where we are headed. There are several ways in which you can get involved with our project.

Developers

Write Code. Save Lives. If you’ve got Java skills and want to make the world a better place, we’d love your help. Read more about how to get involved.

Testing

If you development isn’t your thing, but you still want to put your geek skills to use, consider helping us test OpenMRS releases. Get in touch with us and we’ll help you get started.

Document

Both coders and non-coders alike can help improve OpenMRS for everyone through documentation. Even small corrections or useful additions to the wiki are helpful to everyone. Documentation can take the form of comments in the code, documentation on the wiki, or manuals or other materials provided through our mailing lists.

Translate

OpenMRS is used around the world, and we always have need for the skills of people with skills in the languages where our software is deployed. You don’t have to be a geek to make a real impact. Find out how.

Report Bugs or Request a Feature

Have you discovered a bug in OpenMRS? Before you report the bug, there’s a few steps to take before reporting the bug or requesting the new feature to ensure that we’re not already working on it. Read more and send us your feedback.

Be a Peer Mentor

OpenMRS is measured by how well we can serve our implementations. While some implementers are well-versed in the OpenMRS system, many others are just getting started. If you feel that you’ve learned a thing or two about successfully implementing OpenMRS, we would greatly appreciate your willingness to share that knowledge with others. This can be done through our wiki or through our implementers mailing list.
