Planet SoC

The program officially ended on August 18th. I’m awaiting the arrival of my t-shirt!!

Now, I didn’t quite have time to finish my project prior to that date since my uncle suddenly passed away on August 10th.

The project itself is about 80 percent completed. All that is left is to get the rendering working and finish up the management page to edit the form metadata as it appears in the system.

My time is now limited since school started up again for me, so as much time as I can I’m going to devote to finishing up this project.

I’d like to thank the following:

• Burke Mamlin for helping me and answering all the questions I had and guiding me when I was lost.
• Ben Wolfe for putting up with me and helping me when Burke was MIA.

Since the GSOC deadline is today, I spent the last week polishing things up, uploading/committing the latest versions of everything, and working on documentation.

The following OpenMRS wiki pages have all been updated to reflect the latest status and implementation of the OpenMRS ODA and Logic Web Service: 4bbe68a1d4b7d865d63898236cc1066e

Well folks, I can’t believe it’s almost over. What a journey. I never imagined I’d be able to do this. I have an (almost) working project. I have a few more things that need to be done.

Wow, that’s a long title :). Things have been pretty hectic so I actually missed my blog update last week. Allow me to catch up!

Bug Fixes

Tammy has been great with helping get the Logic Service up to speed. I probably identified at least 5 or so bugs with how the Logic Service was returning data and Tammy always promptly fixed them.

Javadocs

I went through all of the BIRT ODA and Logic Web Service classes and added Javadocs. I used the JAutodoc Eclipse plugin to help with adding all of the Javadocs and OpenMRS headings to each class. We plan on initially hosting them on Justin Miranda’s development machine: http://www.justinmiranda.com/.

JUnit Tests

This week, my mentor, Justin, and Scott Rosenbaum, a member of BIRT PMC, and myself had a web meeting to show and review the current functionality of the ODA. We got some really good feedback. Some of the main points:

I learned via the Official Google Research Blog that Randy Pausch died yesterday. Randy Pausch is famous for delivering a lecture entitled informally “The Last Lecture: Really Achieving your Childhood dreams”. Pausch was also a Computer Science professor at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU).

He will be missed greatly.

RIP Randy Pausch
