[Hardhats-members] Canadian Think Smart Initiative question on LMN.

[Ignacio Valdes]

This just in on LMN: http://www.linuxmednews.com/1114090027 Why has 
Ontario, Canada chosen to link their Smart Systems for Health Agency 
to the proprietary .NET technologies? I recently was perusing the 
website for the Ontario, Canada Smart Health initiative and noticed 
that a lot of the job postings were for .NET technologies. The 
question I would have is why tax payer money is being spent toward 
what will amount to a proprietary solution? Are there sufficiently 
advanced Open Source projects which could be "suggested" to this 
agency for inclusion in their efforts?

I would suspect that VistA would be a possibility. The poster raises 
some interesting questions.  Any Canadians like perhaps JDM, care to 
comment?
