Just to echo Fred's post - this is the first time OSCON, which has been
going for over 10 years, has had an industry-specific track. Recently I
and others have been encouraging them in this direction, as the number of
quality open source health IT projects is reaching a critical mass and
some really good stories are waiting to be told. My ulterior motive is to
get the geeks to stop building chat clients and farming games on Facebook
and start applying their thinking and coding skills to healthcare, where
we could use them. The paucity of open source at HIMSS was kinda shocking
- we gotta change that, and getting other geeks at OSCON to get into
health IT would be a big step. Who's in?
