Also I thought that the panel discussion that I will be a part of (along with Roger Maduro of Medsphere, Terry Wiechmann of ESI, Joseph Dal Molin of e-Cology, and I think others) is on open source business models, not "OpenSource and VistA." Or is that somewhere else? On the call, I asked about the vendor organization that is being created by a small number of vendors (Claudine gave their names as HP, Perot Systems, DSS, Oleen, InterSystems Medsphere and several independent consultants was also discussed). I expressed unhappiness with the fact that this vendor group was being created out of sight of the community, especially after the words that had flown back and forth in the recent past about openness and transparency of process in creating and managing such organizations. I was especially disappointed that Fidelity (formerly Sanchez), which had been such an active participant in opening up VistA to the community as a whole for several years had not been included. Crawford Rainwater also expressed discomfort at having been left out. Others, including Joseph Dal Molin, added their comments to the discussion (and at this point, my notes run thin - others who were on the call, please add to this post). There was also discussion as to whether this group of vendors would create the organization and present it to the community as a fait accompli or whether the community could be involved in the creation of a vendor association. In conclusion, Claudine Beron polled the vendors in the group as to whether they wanted to participate, and they all said they did. Claudine promised to send out information on the VistA Software Association that is being created by these vendors. -- Bhaskar *************************************************************************** This electronic mail transmission contains confidential and/or privileged information intended only for the person(s) named.
