Opportunities Vacant in the #FHIR project
Jan 16, 2017The FHIR team is continuing to grow, and has plenty of opportunities for more people to contribute. Here are some of those opportunities: ## Core FHIR spec We’re looking for:
- people from committees to work within committees to improve the definitions for resource, data type and profile elements and codes
- implementers to work with the editors to develop further realistic high-quality examples that fill out resource usage
- anyone who wants to work on proof-reading,
- more committee members to learn how to edit specifications to give us more depth in the committees
Web Presence
We’re looking for:
- a fhir.org web developer. If you know drupal, and you’re a member of the fhir+hl7 community, you can help with the various fhir.org services
- more people to respond to questions on community.fhir.org
Reference Implementations
HAPI and the C# reference implementations would love to get more active contributors.
There are several roles:
- first responder - answer questions about using them in various social media
- tester - maintaining and extending the automated tests, and manually testing what can’t be automatically tested
- documentation - contributing how-to and core documentation, and explaining how the RIs compare to the spec
- committer - code contributors are also welcome
You can contribute to these as much as you like - a few hours here and there, up to full time.
If you’re interested in contributing in any of these roles, let me know (at [email protected]), and I’ll connect you up with the right team member. We will be happy to provide support and direct you to necessary training material and documentation and/or set up mentor/mentee relationships to help you through the process. If you’d like some justification to share with your manager/employer, we may be able to help there too.
If you have other ideas about how you’d like to assist, those would be welcome as well.
