This is the presentation that I gave in IBM Developer Superstar competition 2nd round , although the presentation **was not that good** but still sharing it.

Also this is the awesome id card that I got for the day of presentation (No entry in IBM Noida facility without ID card πŸ™ ) :Β  Although the presentation is ***not that good*** but this card is still worth to be shared πŸ˜› :

Some days back I was strucked in testing my GSoC project for almost 1 week and at the end it is the smartness of Netbeans that costed this when I created the testcases.Netbeans modified this[1] to something like this [2] and wasted a lot of my time.

Midterm Evaluations results processed for General Feedback Mechanism

Atlast, I managed to pass the midterm evaluation πŸ™‚ and I expect to do more code contribution after midterm because now I am much *more familiar* with OpenMRS module architecture as compared to what I know before the first half started :).A thanks to Ben Wolfe , Burke , Michael and whole OpenMRS family for their great support πŸ™‚ all this wouldn’t have made real without their support :).
