[ossig] New mailing list FOSS_health at oshca.org

[Molly Cheah]

FOSS_health at oshca.org mailing list had been set up, thanks to Soo Hoe.

This list is started as a result of the need to continue the discussions and subsequent follow-up activities from the OSHCA Conference 2007 which was held in Kuala Lumpur 8-11 May 2007 with the theme:

"Moving the FOSS Agenda for Health: Setting the Framework for Interoperability"

The main topics for follow-up activities are: 

1. Interoperability, Open standards, Data exchange, focusing on "Gap Analysis for Data Portability amongst current FOSS health applications".
2. Modelling for capacity building in FOSS for health care in developing countries (emphasis of Africa, Latin America and Asia).
3. Cost analysis and comparison of deploying FOSS and proprietary systems in health care.

You need to go to to subscribe yourself to the list:

  http://mailman.oshca.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/foss_health

I have forwarded all the discussions on interoperability to the new list and they should now be in the archives. I suggest that the appropriate name be started for new threads in that list.

But I have "not" subscribed anyone to the new list.

The participants list should then be used for mop-up discussions on OSHCA Conference 2007.

To post to this list, send your email to:

  foss_health at oshca.org

You can also make such adjustments via email by sending a message to:

  FOSS_health-request at oshca.org

with the word `help' in the subject or body (don't include the
quotes), and you will get back a message with instructions.

Anyone is welcomed to announce this list as widely as possible.

Rgds,
Molly
