The European Commission's IDA Program runs an Open Source Observatory that now attempts to create an inventory of software. There is also a healthcare section and it would be nice if may of you could list their projects. Details in the forwarded mail below (note that all occurrances of /ida/ in the URLs should be replace by /idabc/).

The European Commission's Open Source Observatory (OSO) <http://europa.eu.int/ida/oso/>http://europa.eu.int/ida/oso/ is a clearinghouse of information related to free / libre / open source software in the public sector, and is intended to promote and spread the use of best practices in Europe. The OSO is part of the EC's IDA (Interchange of Data between Administrations) programme, and ultimately aims to provide a comprehensive overview of free/libre/open source software policies and activities in the public sector, especially in current and future EU Member States.
The OSO recently launched the OSO Software Inventory, a catalogue of replicable free / libre / open source software solutions for eGovernment. The aim of the Inventory is to classify and briefly describe these solutions, to provide contact information for the software solution developers, to permit providers and potential users of eGovernment solutions to specify and search for relevant applications, and to thereby allow public administrations to estimate if possible whether and how these solutions might be replicable.
We invite you to submit any free / libre / open source software projects that your organisation or team has produced, for inclusion in the OSO Software Inventory. Submission of a software project is easy you only need to fill in an online form (<http://europa.eu.int/ida/en/chapter/5649>http://europa.eu.int/ida/en/chapter/5649) with a few questions regarding the nature of the software. Within a few days thereafter, you will see your software description online on the Inventory website.
We would also appreciate it if you could pass this email on to any software projects you might know of, or post this message to any free or open source software mailing lists.
If you have any questions regarding the OSO or the OSO Software Inventory, please feel free to send an email to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>[EMAIL PROTECTED]
Best regards,
The IDA-Open Source Observatory Team
