"I want to develop for the OpenEMR project, how do I get started?"

Perhaps you're a motivated Doctor or a generous open source contributor. Novice or expert, OpenEMR can use your help!

This MI-Squared "Dev Talk" is a first in a series of OpenEMR-related lessons, created by one of our senior developers, Ken Chappell. Ken will walk you through the entire life cycle of contributing a code change you develop to the OpenEMR  open source project. He starts out with setting up source control, and then shows how to deploy a developer OpenEMR instance, fix a defect, and submit a change to to open source community for review. Not only is it a great resource to help new OpenEMR developers, but also as a demonstration of how to get involved with almost any open source project!

You can view the code from this MI-Squared Dev Talk segment on Ken's GitHub.com account, linked-to with a complete transcript of the process, on our site... http://bit.ly/16sF6Ko
