		<description><![CDATA[Hi, I have a lot of experience with collaborative document writing, and now, in my role with Cautious Patient Foundation, I have been providing technical help to several patient communities. I helped write the security standards for the NWHIN Direct project and I am currently working with the e-patient/QS community to create a document detailing [...]]]></description>

Generally, the red circles correspond to the percentage of child allergy suffers who had -seen- a doctor, but had no specific plan to address their condition. The red tags, are healthcare [...]]]></description>

Without understanding the nature of Healthcare, people assume that I am being religious about the issue. This is the furthest thing from the truth.

		<description><![CDATA[I am utterly not surprised to hear that OpenMRS is shining in Haiti. This reminds me of the tremendous reponse that the VA had to hurricane katrina using VistA. For fun you should ask those involved for the inside scoop of how VistA enabled an entire hospital to uproot and move over the course of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It looks like WorldVistA is, for now, holding fast to the GPL and AGPL for VistA licensing. I have been a vocal advocate for compromising with DSS and Open Health Tools around the LGPL. The LGPL would allow for some innovations to be licensed under the GPL, and others, in the core of VistA to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So I have two small news items. First, I am renaming the yearly Houston Open Source Conference from fosshealth to OSHealthCon, which just stands for Open Source Health Software Conference. Why the name change? Well, it is caused by the need for me to distance myself from the term &#8220;free&#8221;. I know what &#8220;free&#8221; means [...]]]></description>

You want people in the Open Source community to develop against your code. You want people to add value to your core. To achieve this you have to recognize that our community [...]]]></description>

I wrote a rebuttal saying that, among other platforms, the Google android platform was a better fit. Frankly, I thought [...]]]></description>

In a recent HardHats thread, he expressed his discouragement. I responded and I thought it might help other discouraged developers out there to read me reply. Sometimes the Open Source community just does not respond [...]]]></description>
