Personally, not being a MAC user, my interest would be related to whether or not this would make a difference in terms of out ability to use Osirix with VistA. If Osirix can be interfaced successfully with a Linux based system, then the costs would likely be lower with that than with a 100% MAC system. Osirix can be seen at http://homepage.mac.com/rossetantoine/osirix/ .

Chuck;
I spoke with one of the folks who did the port of GT.M to MAC OS X two years ago and they said if there was enough interest and the status of such a port could be clarified, that they could do it again. We would love to set up a project on this and will need at least two separate organizations to be involved, one doing the port and one doing the testing. So if there are enough folks out there who would need to see this, they need to get their interest known. This is a project which can be accomplished, but we have some things to get straight;
1) Level of interest? 2) Level of involvement (actual participation, monetary, review, testing, documentation, platforms, etc)? 3) Legal status of the resulting product? Still Open Source? under what license?
If we can get enough folks involved and committed, this could happen in a short time frame.

Thanks for the clarification, Maury. Yes, Fidelity will be offering Oracle (and perhaps DB2 someday) as an alternative database for our Profile banking application. We are not replacing GT.M or dropping support for GT.M, or "moving GT.M to Oracle". Indeed, it is my opinion that the majority of Profile customers will choose GT.M when they make choices about configuring Profile, but ultimately it is all about the customer's choice rather than our choice. Since database configuration is managed at the level of the Profile application code layered on top of GT.M, the topic is completely irrelevant to VistA on GT.M.
I don't recollect anything from the VistA Community Meeting about GT.M being ported to Mac OS X by anyone in the user community. Except for running it on Linux in an emulated PC, porting to Mac OS X from the open source port to x86 GNU/Linux would be a non-trivial effort.

Two items got blurred together. There is a possibility that GT.M will be ported to MAC OS X. On the recent GT.M survey, it was one of the items one could vote for as a future enhancement. Also, Brian Lord and Jeff Abbott did this port about two years ago but the work was lost when the laptop used for development was "redeployed" for other uses. He says they can do it again when time allows.
The other item is that Bhaskar mentioned that Fidelity's banking product would be available in the future with an optional Oracle backend database along with the current GT.M version. Institutions will have a choice which version they want based on their needs and the performance specs.

Ignacio, I think it will be ported to the MAC, not Oracle. At the meeting I heard two programmers had done it a few years ago and no longer have their code, so the hope is to do it again.

Ignacio, In the article you wrote: "announcement that GT.M will be ported to Oracle".
Is that an error? If not, what does it mean?
