Open Source Project "MEDICAL DATA INSIGHT". Open Call for Technical/Non Technical Collaboration

Nepal Medical Data Visualization( NMDV)

Back in 2015 me with my teammates Shradha, Rizu and Bishwas decided to do a project which will focus on Health Sector of Nepal. This was the last semester project that we would be doing back then. So we named our project as "Nepal Medical Data Visualization". Project was supervised by Dr. Rabindra Bista. Project was developed usign PHP, JavaScript, JQuery, HTML and CSS. I committed the code on github and didn't even look back for a long time.

Last year, I joined Verscend Technologies via Internship program. Verscend  is a company that works on Health Care Information/Data of the United States. My semester project was a key which get me through the internship Program. All credit goes to Rabindra Sir. While working on a Healthcare Informatics Company I always wanted to rewrite my Project and make it meaningful. I wanted to make it open source and wanted to see it implemented in the community someday in future. This is when Medical Data Insight happened.

The Project Title

NMDV this title was suitable and descriptive but it had Nepal with it. I thought let's not bound Open Source Project within a geographical boundary and removed word Nepal. Now it was Medical Data Visualization, but still I was not satisfied with the name specially the word 'Visualization'. The word 'Insight' was in my mind and I found it more promising and attractive than Visualization. Because as per my understanding Visualizing something was just focusing on the data representation. But Insight was something vast. It not only meant focusing on the represented data but also unfold the hidden Information/insight among the data. Being insightful also means understanding a subject from diverse analysis and trying to find meaning of unanswered logic . This was how the Project got it's Title "MEDICAL DATA INSIGHT"   

Open Sourcing Medical Data Insight

In Our Open Source Community we talk about open sourcing not only the Product but also the process. So this was a golden opportunity for this project to Open Source it's process as well as the source code as product. Being in its initial phase, open sourcing the process helps contributors across the globe to:

• Understand the Product/
• Familiarize with the Cross Culture Working Environment of a Open Source Project 
• Contribute in Projects Core Architecture.
• Comment on the designs of overall interface.
• and many more...

I started breaking the branches of huge tree and started to make a pack of small sticks. Tree, branches, sticks sounds funny, isn't it?. Actually I started breaking the concept of the project into small peaces. And peace by peace, from creating a large feature to User stories I created number of small tasks. Having good experience of Agile Software Development from Verscend, I implemented it by creating a Board at Waffle to maintain all those issues, features, bugs, pull requests, and everything that comes during software development.

And this is how the Userstory, Tasks, Features and Bugs are listed here at Waffle.

Waffle: MDI

In addition to the userstories and a Waffle Board I've created Milestones in GitHub which looks like this:

GitHub Milestones: Medical Data Insight

Current Status of Project

Currently This project is in it's beginner level. After I deprecated the OLD PHP CODE and created a tag, those PHP code base are cleaned from the master branch. Many things are still to be done regarding this projects.

Interesting thing about this Project is that I researched a lot of frameworks and languages in order to decide one for formally moving ahead. Currently AngularJs and ElectronJs are two such promising Fronend Frameworks which I prefer for this Project. So there are always room for improvements are everyone are welcome to contribute, comment and collaborate. 

• Many things like the Backend Development Language, Database, Design, are yet to be decided.
• A team of core contributors and maintainers are yet to be decided.

• CODE_OF_CONDUCT  is currently adapted from GitHub which is also to be discussed and updated.
• CONTRIBUTING GUIDELINES are also to be decided.

Final Words

I want to do a open source project to have an experience of working with cross-cultural expertise across the globe and finally contribute/give back to the community.

If anybody out there is interested in contributing a couple of hours every week for a right cause, please send me an email at: sigdelsanjog@gmail.om or admin@techjhola.com. Or you can also join our Slack Channel: medicaldatainsight.slack.com Walking a long road all alone is hard and sometimes not motivating So I'm optimistic about getting huge response from all of you open minded People.

 Also if you think that your friend might get interested  to contribute , please share this request to him/her.

Namaste.

GITHUB: HOW TO CREATE A WEBSITE WITH GITHUB PAGES?

Many of us have created sub pages from domains who let us host some space for free like .me, .wordpress.com, .blogspot.com. We used such domains for displaying our profile online. Back in 2008, Github announced GitHub Pages. GitHub Pages allow you to publish web content to a github.com subdomain named after your username. We don't need to worry about the database and many other tedious process of hosting and having it available 24*7. 

CREATING GITHUB PAGES

You don't need any technical expertise to publish your web content. You can create a GitHub page following few steps which I'll be explaining in today's blog. Before that I will be explaining different ways of publishing a page at GitHub. 

First way of publishing GitHub page is easy one. You can create a page from settings of your repository.

Second way of publishing a GitHub page is directly adding content to the repository. These contents within your repository will point to the github page.

Third way is by using Jekyll framework which helps you to create a blog like website just by pushing the content to your repository.

In this blog I'll explain first two ways of publishing GitHub pages. Using Jekyll Framework is not that hard. I've tried building GitHub pages with Jekyll Framework, but I'm not prepared right now to demonstrate. I'll be writing another blog to explain how to use Jekyll framework for building Blogs with Jekyll Frameworks. 

First Method

• Create a repository and keep the repository name exactly the same which is something like: your-username.github.io
• This is the default GitHub page that will be displayed. In case you want to create a repository page for any of your project. You need to keep it in mind that Url for your repository's page will be appended to your main github page
• Make sure your repository has any of these two files: README.md or index.html
• This tells GitHub Pages that the repository contains web contents that needs to be hosted.
• Go to Settings of your Repository. Scroll down and you will see this GitHub Pages:
  
• Choose a theme. There are a number of themes available for creating the Github Pages:
  
• Select one of the theme and save the changes and you can see the github page build already.
• Browse it whose url is: your-username.github.io

SECOND METHOD
Well second method came in the middle of first step because this has something to do with the first Image above i.e. the GitHub Pages Section.

• Github pages are disabled by default. Click None and you will see three options
  
  
  In your master branch if you are going to display the README file as the default information. Choose Master Branch.
  If all your web pages are hosted in the master branch and your index.html is hosted in aster Choose Master Branch.
  If you have an ongoing project codes in the repository and you plann to separate the project's Wiki that will be displayed as github page in a separate folder, name that folder as docs. Then select the second option.master branch /docs folder.

These are two easy methods of hosting your github Pages. The third One i.e. using Jekyll Framework, I'll soon be writing a blog post about it and explain steps by steps how to use it for creating a GitHub Pages.

GITHUB: Shorten your GitHub Repository Url with GIT.IO

Today's Article is a quick glance about this less known feature provided by Github: GIT.IO . What GIT.IO does is shortens your repository's url. Seems pretty basic us, but this actually plays a significant role for those who always stick to GIT BASH.

Most of us during our web application development use the Command Line Interface. They are so ease to use rather than using drag and drops or simultaneous clicks for a single task. CLI is next cool technology trend that every software framework are fascinated about. So whenever we start a new project we initialize the project configuration via Command Line Interface.

I do some AngularJs Web App development. Talking about my way of configuring projects i normally do npm init which within next steps asks for the github repository. So either I need to copy paste the git repository or type it manually. And here by shortening the repository url with the help of GIT.IO all we need to keep not of is the fiveunique characters linked with the git.io url like shown below:

Here I shorten url of a repository that belongs to a organization that I'm involved with:

Later this long url turns out to be short with just 5 characters appended to git.io.

It would have been even more helpful if github could provide short urls for any Url. But git.io only shortens GitHub.com URLs.

How To Integrate Disqus in Blogger?

Disqus (pronounced discuss) is a worldwide blog comment hosting service for web sites and online communities that uses a networked platform. The company's platform includes various features, such as social integration, social networking, user profiles, spam and moderation tools, analytics, email notifications, and mobile commenting.

Why Disqus?

• User can post comment, vote comment, flag comment and share comments to social networks. Also they can subscribe to comments.
• You will get notification to your email for each new comment.
• A commenter can attach media files (image, video) in their comments.
• You can see your site’s comment activity in a graph.
• You can set custom avatar for comments for those who don’t actually display their avatar.
• Commenter can post their comment as guest or they can post using their open ID.
• Disqus adds real time threaded comments and shows a related discussion below comments which reduces your bounce rate.
• You can make money from Disqus by showing recommendations just like nRelate related posts.

There are two different way to integrate disquss in any of the content management system(CMS). You can either do all the configuration from the disqus website or do it from your blog gadgets and templates.You just need to choose a platform and follow the instruction.

As our site is hosted in blogger. I did exlpore ways to integrate blogger and disqus. I wanted to integrate it so much because this medium of comment posting is similar to that of some of the great news sharing sites reddit and 4chan. Like these sites, disqus also maintains the threads within thread,  vote ups, as well as the recommendation of comments and sharing them. You can not only expect if your blogger read the blogs but with the help of disqus now you can also get their valuable feedback.

Configuration from blogger(Manual work):

• In your blogger Dashboard , Click "Layout", and Click "Add a Gadget below the blog text area of your layout where your blog is posted.
  
• Clicking the "Add a Gadget", you will see the collection of Gadgets made available by blogger as well as third parties. Search for "HTML/Javascript"
  
• Enter the title of the gadget as "Disqus".
  
• Save the gadget and also save the arrangements.

Now we will add a disqus code inside that gadget from our Template section. Before doing that make sure that you have created a disqus account. If not signup now it is too easy, Signup and get a username.

• Now again go to the dashboard and Click "Template". Then click "Edit HTML".
• After that click within the code area and find the text "Disqus". (Searching is done by CTRL+F key combination)
• After you find the code block expand the code division.
• Find the code snippets withing that division and remove them.
• Instead of those codes you just deleted, copy the code mentioned below:

• That's It. Now Save your template.
• Don't forget to hard refresh your blog( Which is generally done by pressign CTRL+ F5)

You Should now see a  disqus comments area just below your website. Cheers1

Working with Files and strings in a file in Unix is what a beginner shell script learner wants to do after s/he learns the very basic commands via terminal. So I found this really really really important resource on unix.stackexchange.com which describes multiple operations on strings in files.

The link mentioned below answers following questions.

• replace string foo with bar in all files in the current directory?
• do the same recursively for sub directories?
• replace only if the file name matches another string?
• replace only if the string is found in a certain context?
• replace if the string is on a certain line number?
• replace multiple strings with the same replacement
• replace multiple strings with different replacements

Quora Q&A: Does Anyone Actually Use Desktop Linux?

After a long time I logged in to Quora and while I was going through the Q&As which were displayed on my Screen I saw this question Does Anyone Actually Use Desktop Linux? Being an Open Source Enthusiast and also a Technical Volunteer for Help Nepal Network's E-Library Project, I believed this question needs a solid answer. Well while I saw the question it already had 100+ answers, But I still took chance to answer my experience about Desktop Linux.
And here is my answer:

Why Not?

Edubuntu installed on KU Lab for Training E-LIBRARY Volunteers

Here at Kathmandu University, Nepal our computer lab's hundreds of Desktop user FEDORA and Ubuntu. I can happily say that everyone here at University is familiar about OpenSource Technologies

We volunteers from Kathmandu University Open Source Community have established E-Library using Edubuntu(A UBUNTU Distribution for Educational Purpose).

The library is set up using LTSP Package. In a school there are one one server and 10clients. The E-Library is used by students from Class one to 8. Which is on average 200students from one school use those computers daily. And till the date, there are almost 30+E-Libraries in Nepal. Project is a joint collaboration of HELP NEPAL NETWORK and DoCSE, KU with the Moto ONE E-LIBRARY PER DISTRICT
