> > it's difficult to say who would best serve on BoD or BoA Dear Fred,
I don't want this to sound mean spirited (or self serving) but there is of course an obvious, significant, conflict of interest to your proposal. Are you going the on the Board of Directors or the Board of Advisors for this organization? As for Open Source Medical Software (OSMS), the organization was chartered to serve all free open source medical software projects. I have offered previously in this forum to support any and all of the existing FOSS medical software. I was mostly met with suspicion and criticism, but the offer still stands. OSMS is exactly what you are proposing with this new organization. The main difference is that Fred Trotter trusts Fred Trotter to do the right thing but not the rest of us. Obviously, using your own non-conflict-of-interest policy, you do not qualify for your own Board of Directors. You should give serious thought to either giving up MirrorMed or giving up this organization. Sincerely, Sam Bowen, MD President Open Source Medical Software
