The list is a valuable resource
I hope the efforts to renew forums for open health discussions succeeds. The lists are an important reseource for those of us doing IS research on OS for healthcare. I've been lurking this list since I started grad school and I joined the yahoo one to keep up with the community. I'm currently working on a taxonomy of OS software and I hope to eventually get feedback from the community. -Lorie Lorie Obal [EMAIL PROTECTED] Proudly conceptualized and drafted in open source software! ---Begin Geek Code Block GMU/GB d? s: !a C LU+ P+ L++ E--- W++N++!o K- w !

Re: The list is a valuable resource
Brian, If I recall correctly, the OpenHealth list hosted on Yahoo was started because new people were unable to join the OpenHealth list hosted by Minoru. Could you please comment on whether this is still the case? Thanks, Andrew On 3/15/06, Lorie Obal [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I hope the efforts to renew forums for open health discussions succeeds.

List future [was: Why are you here?]
Thanks everyone for the feedback. I have a proposal that I've worked out with Molly Cheah, who is working to incorporate the Open Source Health Care Alliance (OSHCA). Joseph Dal Molin, Tim Cook, and Adrian Midgley were also involved. The proposal is to form the Openhealth list at OSHCA.ORG managed by volunteers for OSHCA. This list and the Yahoo list would be moved and closed. The OSHCA domain name and trademark would be transfered as soon as possible to facilitate this event. This proposal would realise a goal that I have had for a long time. As far as I can determine, it would meet all the concerns expressed over the last few days. Please comment on this proposal and feel free to ask any questions either on the lists or directly to Dr. Cheah or myself. -Brian
Re: List future [was: Why are you here?]
Thank you Brian for this timely decision. I sincerely hope this will be a start for a new era for the OSS in Healthcare Community. I have forwarded this e-mail to the Yahoo list for discussion. Many of you who had not signed on the yahoo list may have missed out on the discussion on the ressurrection of OSHCA. I will be moving for the ressurrection quickly now. Barring unforseen circumstances and a change in sentiments, we should see OSHCA back as well as one openhealth list. In the meantime I'm going to post on both lists and I look to getting support for my actions based on decisions made during past discussions for the ressurrection on OSHCA.

Re: The list is a valuable resource
I was able to subscribe a hotmail account, but there is a problem (see below). I'm still coming up to speed on the list history while I was away, so I'm not sure how long the problem existed. There have been a few people (maybe half a dozen) who were unable to subscribe because of incompatibility with their e-mail systems. In most cases, Dave was able to fix this manually, but I know of at least one where we had to tell the person to subscribe from another account. The problem is that no confirmation message is returned to the subscriber. I can see how this would cause a lot of confusion. Rather than wade through the tortuous documentation for the mailing list software, I will update the instructions on the openhealth site for subscribing to refer to the yahoo list. -Brian Andrew Ho a écrit : Brian, If I recall correctly, the OpenHealth list hosted on Yahoo was started because new people were unable to join the OpenHealth list hosted by Minoru.
