Great Thomas, I'll put there some ideas to discuss with the community.

Subject: Re: Why is OpenEHR adoption so slow?
Here is a wiki page for governance discussion -

Bob Mayes is a great guy by the way, he worked for many years in
Zimbabwe.

Hi Thomas,
I see we agreed in much of the points, I hope to see other's
visions.
Governance is a good issue to discuss with the community, but I
can't see any governance if the OpenEHR boards are distant from
the community, and do not understand their real needs. What I was
really talking from the begining of this discussion is that
people, institutions, and goverments have needs that OpenEHR can
satisfy, but at the same time, OpenEHR as a whole is not aware of
their needs, or is not taking actions to do something.
There are a lots of ways of funding, just yesterday, we had an
event here in Uruguay of ICT developments in healthcare (we showed
our Open EHR-Gen Framework and people was amazed about the
concept), there was a man called Bob Mayes from AMIA, and their
are launching a subarea called GHiP to build and support
communities that solve problems in healthcare informatics (with
funding from Rockefeller and Bill Gates foundations, tehy have a
buck or two :D). GHiP may be a good place to find some cash to
build a governance program to the regional OpenEHR communities,
and to support development and objective acomplishment in those
communities.
The governance program must have an item on how to spend the
funding, and this item must be agreed by the community.
It'd be a good idea if we create some section on the web or the
wiki, where we can write some thoughs on the governance subject,
also we can put some governance ideas from other communities,
discuss them, and see if the community agree them. Again,
without the involvement of the boards, this will be a
dead-before-born subject.
Again, I think we can build some money to improve
the tools, like making courses, events (like the IHE
Connectathon), selling books, t-shirts, coffe cups, etc
(donations are always welcome). I'm against a paid
membership, it closes a community that claims to be open,
this is not a gym :D
well, its why we never did
that. I think your ideas are good, the only concern I have
is that I think there still has to be a sufficiently strong
central part of the organisation to help organise materials,
resources, and run the governance structure; at the moment
there is not enough funding to do what would be needed to
support local orgs.
But I would very
much like to see openehr.cl, .br, .uy, etc.
Just an idea: I think the Service Model is very green yet,
but when it go a little more mature, we can make automated
tests to test the implementations, and they can have an
OpenEHR certificate that the software meets the
specification (a paid certificate).
we can already test with XML
schemas. You are right, the service models will be a key
basis for conformance testing, but it will take some more
time to get the required maturity.
