...my 2cents worth, with all due respect to our friends in IMIA/AMIA:
~ cost is a big barrier - first the cost of membership, then the cost of
attending a meeting
~ developed world focus - not as much for IMIA definitely for many of
the others
~ broad focus vs. focus on open source
~ membership requirements - IMIA has quite specific membership
requirements, it is limited to organizations....hmmm....perhaps OSHCA
could be a member of IMIA??

and AMIA) a few years ago. I'm hoping she will chime in here with an
update.

You should co-ordinate this with the IMIA working group on open source.

Will do. Wasn't even aware they existed.
Any point in having both OSHCA and IMIA OS WG as separate entities?
Should we aim for a joint conference to discuss this further?
