They are utilizing “code bounties” as a way to get more developers, implementers, and other open source enthusiasts involved in supporting and improving the iHRIS, which will help foster its sustainability beyond the life of the Capacity<em>Plus</em> project.</p> <p>iHRIS is a suite of open source tools for managing and supporting health workers. Even though I’ve worked with the iHRIS team for years, I didn’t quite understand what code bounties were, so I asked one of the lead developers, Carl Leitner, a few questions.</p> <fieldset class="fieldgroup group-authoring-information"><div class="field field-type-text field-field-author"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Author&#039;s name:&nbsp;</div> Carol Bales and Carl Leitner </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field-type-date field-field-publication-date"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Publication Date:&nbsp;</div> <span class="date-display-single">January 2012</span> </div> </div> </div> </fieldset> <p><a href="https://www.capacityplus.org/bounties-a-new-approach-for-iHRIS" target="_blank">read more</a></p> https://www.capacityplus.org/bounties-a-new-approach-for-iHRIS#comments Code Bounties iHRIS Software Developers Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:28:12 +0000 Carol Bales 679 at https://www.capacityplus.org
