I want to introduce Mr. Wojciech Szkutnik to the OSHIP community.

This is certainly an earned honor.  The blurb from the website:

"SilverStripe chose Wojciech Szkutnik as their Grand Prize Winner.
Wojciech distinguished himself by doing 29 tasks, the greatest output
from among all of our student participants. Even if another student had
done the same quantity, Wojciech would still have gained a lead due to
the diversity of work he did. He delivered at least one of almost every
type of task we laid out and he had to learn much more than some other
participants about our project, community, and process.  Congratulations
to Wojciech!"

I wish you luck in being selected.  I'm sure that with your credentials
it will not be a problem.

Certainly OSHIP can use your talents in many ways.  The one thing that
sticks out for me is the look/feel of OSHIP.  But it isn't just limited
to a few CSS files.  The real key part of this that will take some
talent is developing a widget library that application developers can
use that will give all OSHIP applications a consistency.  I believe that
this widget library should be based on the extensive work done by the
MSCUI and UK NHS teams.  They have published their guidelines and we
have permission to use them in OSHIP royalty free.  From my brief look
at the guidelines they are geared towards GUI implementation.  So taking
those ideas and translating them into a web based environment (mixing
them with the z3c.menu system, etc.) may be a challenge.

I would be proud to have you take the lead on this project and I believe
that I have other interested individuals to help you with it.

The Blueprint is at https://blueprints.launchpad.net/oship/+spec/look
and the full specification link will take you to a wiki where you can
discuss this work (you'll need to register on openehr.org as well as
Launchpad) as well as a link to the MSCUI guidelines.    

I look forward to working with you on this very important project for
OSHIP.

Sincerely,
--Tim
