Re: [openhealth] Open World Forum 2009, Paris, 1-2 October 2009
Hi Philippe, thank you for volunteering to participate in the proposed session. Unfortunately you are the only respondent. It looks like many colleagues are in summer holidays. I therefore will not go on with organizing the session. I will try to get a time slot for a single presentation instead. Thanks again for your interest in participating. Hope to meet you at OWF. Best regards, Thomas Philippe Ameline schrieb: Hi Thomas, I volunteer for a presentation about Open source and new paradigms in health. Being French and living in Paris, I can also help in organizing some things if needed.

Please find the Call for submissions here http://openworldforum.org/program/open-world-forum-call-for-submissions. I think this is a great opportunity to present the FLOSS in health care community to the general FLOSS community and to find avenues of collaboration. Unfortunately I only noticed the OWF some days ago so that the timeframe to set something up is extremely short. The organizing team needs to know the content of the session / speakers / duration as soon as possible but latest until 30th of July. I am planing to do a general presentation of FLOSS in health care and a short introduction to the EFMI LIFOSS WG http://www.helmholtz-muenchen.de/ibmi/efmi/index.php?Itemid=260id=1076option=com_contenttask=view and the IMIA OS WG http://www.imia.org/working_groups/WG_Profile.lasso?-Search=Action-Table=CGI-MaxRecords=1-SkipRecords=11-Database=organizations-KeyField=Org_ID-SortField=workgroup_sig-SortOrder=ascendingtype=wgsig.

Re: [openhealth] Should we make FOSS Health conference exclusive?
Hi Fred, I think it is a good strategy to raise prices but to still be open. Unfortunately I can not participate in the event due to my limited budget but I would prefer to have an open event. I support Tim's view that it is neccessary to address also people outside the core community. But it mainly depends on your focus. What is your conference like? Is it more on strengthening collaboration between different FLOSS-HC projects and the community of developers in FLOSS-HC or do you also want to attract potential users and new developers for FLOSS HC. In the latter case try to be as open as possible. From my experience of organizing the OSEHC workshop (follow-up webpage under construction: http://wikicts.med.up.pt/index.php/OSEHC_Workshop) http://wikicts.med.up.pt/index.php/OSEHC_Workshop it is very fruitful to have people with different backgrounds with different needs and perspectives. Being open raises your chance to have new FOFs at the end of the day :-). I'm currently organizing a FLOSS-HC workshop at Med-e-Tel in Luxemburg together with Etienne Saliez (http://www.medetel.eu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=program http://www.medetel.eu/index.php?rub=educational_programpage=program) (Sustainable collaborations in healthcare open source software http://campaign.constantcontact.com/render?v=001gl3tGmS-gzS6wlDLAJiq_u6E9O7EWXTjhMPZx6jgiF9bOcS9_WG9qliaG4CpRjQPTre_ZzJFz8WRivPFNcu6YCiUcNFHj5VYpTeqZnj1zvnsNNq63F3NKg%3D%3D#LETTER.BLOCK16) I whish you all the best for your conference and I hope we find a way of exchanging experience and knowledge and may be a way of collaboration in future events. Best regards, Thomas fred trotter schrieb: Hi, So Early bird sales for the conference have gone really well. Much better than I expected, and potentially problematically well. If DOHCS attendance is any indicator, there will be a spike of late registrations. I may be running out of space, which is not a problem if I know months in advance but is a problem if I know days or hours. I have had several people email me saying I just missed early bird registration, can I still get tickets at that price? The answer is no, that would not be fair to the people who have registered on time. However, in sympathy to your pleas I have created a new almost early bird ticket sale that costs only a little more than early bird. You can purchase the tickets here: http://fosshealth.eventbrite.com http://fosshealth.eventbrite.com I am telling you know, if you want to go, or you think you might want to go, buy your tickets now. Otherwise, you will forget and then you will be emailing me asking for special treatment again. The people who register earliest will get the best deal, I will only raise prices as the deadline approaches. Do not let this happen to you!! Now for the main point of my message. Is it appropriate for me to make this an invitation-only event, like FOO camp? I could call it Friends of Fred or FOF (ok thats a terrible idea). The point is, it would help me keep the conference size down and ensure that everyone there was really important and/or doing really interesting work. Frankly I do not like the idea, it feels bad to make anything FOSS closed like that, but otherwise, conference planning might be impossible.
