Is there any interest in having a category for Healthcare? Would be

Jay (from BigTop/RedHat) and I (cTAKES) were possibly thinking of doing a
cross project/joint thing on analysis clinical text to demo at Austin...
There's interest if there's content. If you want a track or category, you
need to think in terms of the question "Will someone's manager approve an
expense to travel to Austin for this content." If it's one talk, it's
probably not going to draw an audience all by itself. If it's 3 or more
strong talks, paired with supporting technical content in a related track,
then it is.
I'm thinking of putting together a Content track, and I'd love to have a
CTAKES talk or two in that!
We might be able to talk someone like Lewis or Chris M into putting on a
science track. If that happens, I could see there being one good CTAKES
talk for the content track on how you use UIMA+OpenNLP, then another for
the science track on how you integrate CTAKEs with other things for
solving medical/science problems with it
(For $DAYJOB reasons, I'd love for use to heave a healthcare tech track,
but I'm not sure if there's enough healthcare related projects in the ASF
yet for a full day's content?)
