The Plan, Stan...


Our latest team goals included coming up with a road map/ schedule for the rest of the semester. This involved finding bugs, features, or other contributions to work on for the rest of the semester. Our team found a few different bugs and features that we are hoping to be able to contribute to.

  1. “Password Change” - This is a non-essential bug that needs to be fixed in OpenMRS. This bug allows the administrator to select requirements for a password (numbers, letters, etc.) but the password message always reads “Must be at least 8 characters long, contain an uppercase character, and contain at least one number”. This could be a major error for implementations that create different password properties.

  2. “OpenMRS 2.0 Wishlist” - This is a non-essential fix for a specific implementation of OpenMRS. This implementation is located in Lesotho, which is located in South Africa. The implementation needs a few changes that are important for the locale of the implementation. Our goal for this fix is to fix a few of the changes that are requested, not all of them. This fix is particularly interesting because we would be working on an actual implementation.

Overall I believe all of our goals are achievable and I think it will be a good experience to dive deeper into the OpenMRS project. Our patch for our previous bug was a good intro into OpenMRS API. I believe we have a much better knowledge of OpenMRS.

In addition to finding issues and creating a road map, we also are looking to submit our patch for code-review. We have had the bug assigned to us and hope to upload the patch in the next 24 hours. Lets cross our fingers and hope it was a good fix.

Wish us luck.
