A year or so ago I talked to Brian he had moved back to Vancouver. It seems like eons...it's only 4 years ago that the SPIRIT project which was funded by the European Commission completed its work. I wrote the proposal which resulted in the European Commission FP5 funding, and subsequently wrote the business plan and high level strategy for the project. I ended my partnership with Brian and Minoru before the SPIRIT contract completed so I can't speak for what arrangements were made after the project ended to implement the sustainability plan we developed for the consortium. I wrote Carlo Daffara one of the Minoru subcontractors who was hosting the SPIRIT site (www.euspirit.org) to ask what happened to the software inventory and I believe he still has backups of the system.
The announcement of openhealthtools just shows that we were on the right track. Mind you, they could have used more imagination coming up with a name as we coined and started using the Openhealth label at Minoru in 1998/9 and Brian still owns www.openhealth.com from back then.
