What is OpenMRS?
OpenMRS is an open source electronic medical record (EMR) system, designed for use in the developing world. Since its beginning in 2004, the system has evolved into a medical informatics platform used on every continent, supporting health care delivery and research in an extremely wide variety of contexts.

- Brief textual guide to OpenMRS (very good for context).
- 16-minute introductory screencast.
- 50-minute tech talk video (2007).
What is the Concept Proposal Module?
OpenMRS has a modular architecture which allows functionality to be easily added to or removed from the system. We are developing the concept proposal module, which is well explained on its project page.
How can I help?
Sign up at Meetup and join us for the hack night next Tuesday! We need humans mostly – project managers, developers, translators, QAs, BAs, XDs...
Developers: if you are familiar with Vagrant or the *nix command line, you might like to try setting up the development VM. If not, we will gladly help you at the hack night.
