Depends I guess on exactly what you mean by OLPC project. And what your concerns are.
Has the WorldVistA project been officially endorsed by OLPC management? Not yet. I'm hoping it will be soon. Is it targeted for a garden variety linux PC or the OLPC XO. Definitely the XO. A commercial vendor already has a mono port that runs on Linux. Will all work on this project be released under the GPL? Definitely! The event is an OLPC Health Jam. There will be lots of other folks working on OLPC Health related projects, and if you decide you don't like us or our project, you can defect and join another team working on Medical Sensor hardware, health curriculum,... If you attend the event, I'm sure you will find something fun, constructive, worthwhile... Whether or not it is our project. 2008/3/14 Jon Bertrand <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Is this an OLPC project or just a Jam to get the VistA going on Linux? > > > > -----Original Message----- > *From:* [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto: > [EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of *drew einhorn > *Sent:* Friday, March 14, 2008 12:17 PM > *To:* [email protected] > *Subject:* [Lazarus] Porting Delphi to Lazarus > > Hi, > > I'm organizing a team attending Health Jam Seattle > April 18-20 > > http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Health_Jam > > We will be porting the VA's VistA software frontends > to Lazarus/Free Pascal.
