Re: VA Software Could Help Establish Affordable EHR Systems Worldwide

[Joseph Dal Molin]

Not invited, yet....because GT.M is not a supported platform in the VA 
therfore it was not  an option under the current arrangements.... but 
this is only short term IMHO. The WorldVistA community, which is now on 
the radar at last, will definitely port VistAOfficeEHR to a full open 
source stack and in parallel we will be making a strong case for an 
effective open source community to ensure long term sustainability etc.

Ooops, what happened to GT-M?  Sanchez and Bhaskar in particular
contributed a lot to the early momentum of Open-Vista via the linux GT-M
release.  I would like to hear that they were invited to the party.
