It is with great sadness that I announce a change in the administration of the openhealth list. Dave Scott, the list manager is no longer with us.
Dave passed away last Sunday in Paris from complications of diabetes. He would have been 40 on July 29th.
Dave was one of the founders and a director of Minoru Development and was a tireless crusader for open source health care. He will be missed in other communities as well. He was a director of the Vancouver Fringe Theatre Festival where he organised hundreds of volunteers. He was also active politically campaigning for changes to Canada's constitution to promote greater unity between French and English speakers. He has been a campaign manager for a Canadian minister of defense and was the editor of an award winning newletter on technical writing. His career includes management positions in government, information technology for an international engineering firm, and technical writing for Reuters.
His funeral service will be held in the Toronto area in early September. An open reception will also be held at the Pere Lachaise crematorium (salle Landowski) in Paris at 9:20AM this Thursday, July 24th, for those in France wishing to celebrate his life and to say goodbye.
Dave is survived by his parents Mae and Gunther ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and his sisters Mary ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and Heather.
I thank the staff at the hospital of Versailles and the Cochin hospital in Paris for their care.
For issues related to the openhealth list and the OSHCA website, the contact is now Sylvain Hellegouarch ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) and/or myself ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
