Community Management Roles

The OpenMRS Community Management Team helps to build and support the OpenMRS community. This has two meanings – both operating the technology infrastructure that serves the OpenMRS community, as well helping to coordinate the people who are the "infrastructure" for OpenMRS itself.

Not everyone who volunteers in the OpenMRS community needs to be a programmer or technical genius! Here are some ideas:

• Talk with new people in the OpenMRS community to find out their interests and help them find the best ways to participate.
• Help organize or moderate a community meeting or event
• Help run our mentorship programs, like Google Summer of Code or our Fellowship Program
• Recognize outstanding community contributors and organizations
• Respond to e-mail inquiries from the OpenMRS.org web site and help those people find the information they need. These may include requests for information about the project or technical support requests.
• Help improve our community documentation on this wiki. Volunteer to write notes for meetings, or help clean up errors or formatting problems on existing wiki pages.
• Update the OpenMRS Twitter account and Facebook page with news and other information of interest to our community. If you need access, just request it in a new ticket.
• Write a blog post on OpenMRS.org about current projects or profiling people in our community. Open a request for a WordPress account to get started.
