[fedora-india] Anyone interested in Fedora-Medical (suggest better name) spin?
Hi, I was just thinking, we seriously lack apps for tapping this particular section, that is the health care and medical community. Time to roll out a spin? It is going to be a good selling point and good work if done. Also have a look at this huge list ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_healthcare#Public_Health_and_Biosurveillance Many of these need to be packaged. I am in, any other hands?

I can *try* packaging a something from here. okies..thanks. But it is not the only thing needed. As I said, it is going to be a huge project and needs to be started from drawing-board. Once a few more hands go up, I shall ask for help in the other lists.

The latter means clubbing together all like software into a spin via a fairly trivial kickstart. So, what you get is a bunch of applications shoved into a spin without having a storyline. The former is sifting through the applications using a story and, choosing them so that they are effectively used from Day0. In short, what I suggest is getting someone with domain knowledge of this field involved as well. I think that was one of the reasons FEL became wildly successful. Having said all that, if you are cooking up a kickstart - I can volunteer to do QA :) -- http://www.gutenberg.net - Fine literature digitally re-published http://www.plos.org - Public Library of Science http://www.creativecommons.org - Flexible copyright for creative work ___ Fedora-india mailing list Fedora-india@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-india

This includes all types of s/w. 'Fedora-Health Care' may be a good name. But what else can bioinformatics + psychometry + hospital management + GIS + be? It is necessary to make it reasonably complete in the statistics side (R and lots more), differential equation solvers (some advanced math s/w - those dealing with epidemics will need them), Data visualisation s/w is compulsory (Gobi, Weka, ...). But there is no reason to include SAGE. Things like tinyerp may be relevant for some. Best A. Mani -- A.

Of course I am not taking this way. The former is sifting through the applications using a story and, choosing them so that they are effectively used from Day0. In short, what I suggest is getting someone with domain knowledge of this field involved as well. I think that was one of the reasons FEL became wildly successful. Sure, I am starting to exploit my contacts in that circle. :) If others have some contacts we can use those too. Having said all that, if you are cooking up a kickstart - I can volunteer to do QA :) Great!!! Thanks. I am not cooking a kickstart right now, but will do at a later stage. The first thing I will do is a extensive study and planning.
