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 a [...]]]></description>

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 when [...]]]></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>
