Please do not make it so difficult. ( 1 )   Begin to work: Why is the web site http://www.oshca.org/ still 2 years behind? Make a new one, if necessary with a new name and with, on the first page, links toward all known Open Source projects. Let begin to produce material of interest on a public website. I am willing to participate in that effort, with other partners. We should propose a list of very practical threads to be discussed on the sourceforge list. Simple issues like patient identification are still far from obvious.  Let at least know what are the main points of view, even if they are sometimes conflicting. The concepts around the management of "Request for Service" are currently hot issues in many environments. As proposed in Geneva we need a market place of software OS components. ( 2 )   Meetings: After that some interested people could probably like to join meetings in order to discuss these issues in a more interactive way than by means of Emails. Maybe reviewing diverse life demos of existing OS approaches, with the help of someone knowing them, and avoiding to have to make difficult installations. The next step will be to make appropriate announcements, at the right time, 6 month in advance. Otherwise you would again have a meeting of just a dozen good friends like in Geneva last year. I do not see a major problem to find a host site.  It is indeed a good idea to have it near an existing known meeting, during or the next day, where some newcomers could join easily. Try also to have a joins meetings with some other existing Open Source groups. At the current stage the major problem of Open Source in Healthcare is to have people accepting to listen to each other.

Is there going to be an OSHCA2004 event? So far no one has volunteered to organize it nor has a sponsor stepped forward to host it... Organizing an international event requires a champion and a host to make it happen successfully....that has been the pattern we have followed since the beginning of OSHCA to organize events.
