To the OpenMRS Community:
At the 2010 Implementers Meeting in Cape Town, Paul Biondich announced the transition of OpenMRS into a non-profit organization. A vital element to establish the organization is to form the Board of Directors. The Board will provide guidance for the organization and ensure that we adhere to the mission, vision, and values of OpenMRS. One seat on the Board will always be filled by an elected individual from the OpenMRS implementer community. OpenMRS implementers are characterized by their involvement in the implementer community such as active participation in the mailing lists, meeting attendance, and direct implementation experience on the ground in health care settings. The elected individual will represent the community’s voice on the Board and in the future of the organization.
You can read more information about the process, candidates, and access the ballot at the Board Member Election page.
Voting will be open from Monday, 29 November through Sunday, 12 December (11:59pm UTC).
