I did attend that session on FOSS @Health. The doctor really amazed me. He's a rara avis.
It's very rare that I know of non-ICT professionals having open source computing as their second (or first) field, or hobby or advocacy even. I wish that there were legions of: a. Pilots using Linux-powered PDAs. b. Lawyers that customize LAMP or LAPP to manage cases. c. CPAs that use and advocate open source accounting softwares. d. Policepersons maintaining their blotters on OpenOffice.org suite. etc. Dong On Tuesday 06 December 2005 16:15, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Those of you who attended LinuxWorld 2005 were more likely to have attended > the > technical sessions.
