Medical imaging using Debian +2. Debian Med packaging workshop +3. Integration of VistA into Debian +4. Other interesting talks + + +1. Medical imaging using Debian[1] +=============================== + +There were about 10 attendees basically upstream developers of medical +imaging software. The talk got some attention and the message to +include even more medical imaging software into Debian was well +percived. Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre there was some live demonstration +which was way easier for him as a medical imaging expert than it would +have been for me. + +[1] http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20120709_medical-imaging/ + + +2. Debian Med packaging workshop[2a] +================================ + +Due to my advertising in the talk yesterday three students (two of them +from one medical imaging project, one from an other project) attended +the workshop. Thanks to Axel Beckert who helped me out surviving the +challenge to walk on unexplored ground. + +The idea of the workshop was to ask the attendees to name a package of +their own and just package this. Because two of the attendees were +upstream developers of CreaTools[2b] we decided to go on for packaging +this. After circumeventing some pitfalls in the beginning it went +rather smoothly and after about 2.5 hours we were able to commit some +initial packaging to the Debian Med Git repository[2c] which comes quite +close to a ready package (perhaps some split into a library and a +development package needs to be done and for sure testing is needed). + +Quoting Frederic Cervenansky, upstream of CreaTools + + Thanks for your work. Your workshop was very interesting and + didactic: a relevant discussion between Claire and me for the + future of Creatools has emerged from the difficulties you + encountered to package creatools. + I will try, before the end of the month, to fully package + creatools. And for sure, I will contact the debian-med mailing + list. + +[2a] http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20120710_debian-med_packaging/ + (only few introductory slides - the evant basically was life demo) +[2b] http://www.creatis.insa-lyon.fr/site/en/CreatoolsCrea +[2c] http://git.debian.org/?p=debian-med/crea.git + + +3. Integration of VistA into Debian[3a] +=================================== + +I had the good chance to directly address some issues of Claudio Zaugg +the speaker in the talk "Implementing open source Health Information +Systems in Low- and Middle Income Countries – a practical review"[3b] +directly before mine. It turned out that by using Debian packaged +software might help simplifying the issues they had in supporting health +care workers in Low- and Middle Income Countries. + +My talk was partly repeating some basic ideas about Debian Med from the +talk on Monday because the audience was completely different. Than I +tried to explain in detail how we tried hard to establish good contacts +to upstream developers and why this is essential to finalise the goal to +include hospital information systems straight into Debian any by doing +so open the doors of hospitals for large scale Debian installations. + +There is also video recording of this talk.[3c] + +[3a] http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/20120711_vista-in-debian/ +[3b] http://schedule2012.rmll.info/Implementing-open-source-Health-Information-Systems-in-Low-and-Middle-Income-Countries-a-practical-review?lang=en +[3c] http://video.rmll.info/videos/integration-of-vista-into-debian/ + + +4. Other interesting talks +========================== + +OpenEMR, a multi-language free open source electronic health record for international use[4a] +----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Just discussed the packaging of OpenEMR which is prepared for Debian Med +as it can be seen on our tasks page[4b]. The contact to the creator of +some inofficial package will be established to finalise this task. + +OpenFovea : when open-source and biophysical research get married[4c] +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +Just another target for Debian Med popped up in this talk to further +enhance Debian Med in covering all issues of medical care on one hand +and on the other hand helping upstream authors to distribute their code +more effectively. + +Collaborative software development for nanoscale physics[4d] +-------------------------------------------------------- + +The talk would have fit very nicely into the Debian Science workshop[4e] +at ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility[4f]) in Grenoble because +it was about ETRF (European Theoretical Radiation Facility[4g] - seems +these people are doing everything with pen and paper where ESRF people +need a large gadget ;-)). At previous LSM events I had just talked with +Yann and the work to include their software into Debian is on its way. + +Free software and High Performance Computing[4h] +-------------------------------------------- + +This talk was not directly connected to my Debian work but I simply +enjoyed to see how "two people" had a really entertaining talk about Top +500 computers. Vittoria, you made my last day at LSM. + + +[4a] http://schedule2012.rmll.info/OpenEMR-a-multi-language-free-open-source-electronic-health-record-for-international-use?lang=en +[4b] http://debian-med.alioth.debian.org/tasks/practice#openemr +[4c] http://schedule2012.rmll.info/OpenFovea-when-open-source-and-biophysical-research-get-married?lang=en +[4d] http://schedule2012.rmll.info/Developpmement-logiciel-collaboratif-pour-la-physique-nanoscopique?lang=en +[4e] http://www.esrf.eu/events/conferences/debian-for-scientific-facilities-days-1/Provisional%20Programme +[4f] http://www.esrf.eu/ +[4g] http://www.etsf.eu/ +[4h] http://schedule2012.rmll.info/Free-software-and-High-Performance-Computing?lang=en _______________________________________________ debian-med-commit mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/debian-med-commit
