Community Management and Operations

Technical Architecture Committee

The Community Management and Operations Team provides overall governance of our community and operations. That includes community conventions, grant management (ie: workplanning, reporting, etc), collaboration with third parties, and upholding community values.

If you're interested in community management at OpenMRS, come learn more about us. All are welcome.

Community Management & Operations Team Notes

The Technical Architecture Committee (TAC) oversees OpenMRS' overall technical and system architecture. Their goal is to ensure our software products are built and released correctly.

Anyone is free to contribute to TAC starting with participating in weekly team calls.

Global Events

Translation

The Global Events eam is responsible for bringing the OpenMRS community together, globally and locally, in-person or virtually,

Our primary purpose is organizing the annual Implementer's Meeting, from developing the budget to planning individual events.

If you have a passion for event planning, we can use your enthusiasm and skill.

Global Events Team Wiki

Healthcare systems demand software that can be used in any country, with any language, so we must always grow our system's internationalization, localization, and translation repositories. Whether or not you’re a professional translator, consider helping us translate the OpenMRS product.
