There were several that involved open source usage and development in various ways. Some of the more direct events were reported here: http://www.linuxmednews.com/ & here:http://www.peter-murray.net/medinfo2004/day4.htm More are coming but time to do this is of course always an issue. I also had an opportunity to sit down with Dr. Ted Shortliffe (http://www.medinfo2004.org/program/info.asp#organizing) and Dr. Ed Hammond ( http://www.amia.org/about/taskforces/taskforces.html scroll to the bottom) in two brief sessions. More on these and their views on open source in a few days. Maybe Pat Evans can discuss the workshops he participated in as well?
