The theme for this meeting is: “Building sustainable, global, collaborative development of VistA”, exploring the interrelated issues of: 1. Community and Business Development: how do we grow the community of WorldVista EHR™ adopters and developers. Topics will include the organizational and governance framework, funding, education and training, capacity building, technology transfer, Open Source licensing and business models. 2. Software Development: how do we coordinate an open source development on this scale. Topics will include the technical and quality management framework for managing the software lifecycle, preventing code forking, software licensing, current and planned developments, VistA interoperability (with other systems), VistA and Health informatics standards, and the evolution of VistA architecture & technology. These topics will be explored from the perspective of End Users, Software Developers, Vendors and Educators.
