title	Google Summer of Code

OpenMRS has enjoyed participating in Google Summer of Code since 2007. We're extremely excited about the projects and mentorship opportunities that we hope to make available this year. Coding for OpenMRS is a great way to practice your coding skills and, at the same time, help benefit people in developing countries who are on the front lines of the battle against HIV/AIDS, TB, Malaria, and other public health challenges.
