If you are a student or young professional, you need practical experience to show off your skills to future employers. While we do not provide certificates, your publicly visible code repositories on GitHub or your contributions to our wiki will provide ample proof of your achievements. You can, of course, choose to work under an alias.
How
...
do I get started?
As an independent developer:
You want to code. Perhaps you were contracted to add a feature for a specific health financing organization. Maybe you are simply interested, or have an idea you would like to try out that you think might be useful for the community. There is no need to integrate further into the community. Just remember that openIMIS is published under a copy-left license that requests you to feed back your code into the general code base. Click here to get started.
As a member of the Developers Committee:
Of course we would encourage you to stay connected to the community and participate in regular discussions. That would be helpful for your own work, but would also feed new ideas into the community. Become part of the strategic decisions that are shaping the future path of openIMIS. Click here to get started.

Consult the openIMIS user documentation
If you feel that you need to change code for your own purposes or you have a useful contribution to make, download the code from the git hub GitHub repositories and start programming away. You might want to follow the technical discussions in the Product Roadmap to see that your ideas are in line with what the Developers Committee is planning to do.
If you like what you have done, upload your code and create a pull request to get your code included into the masters master version.

:
If coding is for you and you want to contribute to the openIMIS software of openIMIS on a regular basis, you might want to join the Developers Committee. Just contact someone from the committee and ask about the conditions for joining. Actually there arn't any. Be aware though, that currently most of the members are under some sort of a contract with the openIMIS Initiative - kindly respect that they have precise targets which have to be accomplished, which is the technical arm of the openIMIS Product Group. This allows you to stay connected to the community and to become part of the strategic decisions that are shaping the future path of openIMIS.
