When is the deadline for proposal
See the GSoC website. I will not answer questions answered by doing basic research.
Sorry, i know the dated in the website but that’s the final deadline right. I know some organisations close proposals earlier than that and even announce the selected students early. i just wanted to know if Libre Health has something like that.
We have no plans to do so.
Thank you , i would also like to know is there any template we need to follow for the proposal. Also what are the specific points that you look for in a proposal.
There’s already a post about this. Read that:
Although the period for sending the proposal starts from 16/3/2020. Is it okay if I send the proposal after a week? Because I think one week’s time is needed to understand the idea and its implementation.
So long as you finalize by the end of the application period, yes.

Okay. When will we get further update?
I have updated the project objectives and tasks. Do let me know if you have any questions.

I have a doubt regarding the Cerner Bunsen modules. What exactly are Cerner Bunsen modules? What are they used for? Especially in this project. I tried to google it but didn’t get much information. Will you please explain that?
You need to do research. This is something you can easily find using a search engine. Show us that you can do basic research, this isn’t doing that.

Okay I will do that.
Yes as @r0bby mentioned, if you look at the project repository and it’s dependencies, you can get a idea and google obviously will provide resources.
This year, we’re trying to not repeat last year where we had both of our students fail…so we’re using whether or not you can do basic research to evaluate your skills.
I have posted a ton of helpful posts with resoruces with the README prefix. If you ask and haven’t read those, neither I nor any mentors will answer your questions. Many GSoC questions can be answered by reading the GSoC guides and documentation. We are looking for quality students this year!

Okay. I will do my research thoroughly and won’t let you down.
If you have researched and need help, feel free to ask.
Thank you very much. But right now I got the information I needed. Will ask you if needed.
Hello Everyone,
During the last entire week, I tried to understand this project. As it is an extension of the earlier project, I read the mailing list of that project. I also read blogs written by @prashadi. I also researched about FHIR, Apache Spark, Apache Cassandra, etc.
So, following is my understanding of this project : -
LibreHealth has developed a platform based on FHIR specification. Cassandra is used as a data source. Apache Spark is used to perform analytics. Datastax provides Cassandra Spark connector which allows users to load data directly from Cassandra database to Spark models. Datastax also provides a java driver which provides the support to access Cassandra database by both the ways- native manner and using CQL. Then bunsen encoders convert data into a dataset that allows users to run Spark SQL on top of FHIR data. Then it will be converted to Spark data frames using bunsen library.
I am very fascinated by this project and interested in contributing here. Especially during this time when the world is facing a pandemic and without exchanging the healthcare information it is difficult for every nation to counter it. I am posting to this to know whether or not I understood the project properly. I request you to please guide me if I misunderstood anything.
Right now I am working on the objectives of this project, will discuss it in a couple of days.

@khanjan Yes you have got the idea correctly. It’s very good to see your progress. Also I hope you aware of the application guidelines where you have to have atleast two contributions to the librehealth platform. Let me know if you have further questions around this.
