When the OSCHA 2 is launched, can I suggest that there be a little background information of the key people involved (on the website). I know I could probably glean enough by googling, but it would give a nice perspective for those unfamiliar with OSCHA. A picture would be a nice touch! Sorry

Molly, You can count me in for the "committee"... I have also exchanged email with Mike McCoy and he is willing to lend a hand. For those on this list who don't know Mike, he recently retired as the CIO of the UCLA Medical Centre and Medical School. He sponsored OSHCA 2002 in Los Angeles and is

Nandalal, Others have responded to your questions. I wouldn't worry about OSHCA's impact at this juncture. I wouldn't even worry about Governments' responses to the use of open source because judging from the trends of its support by the likes of IBM, Intel, Sun etc. its a matter of time. I wa

Obviously I would love to help, as an intial committee member, or in any other fashion as appropriate. I think we should not start a new mailing list. The openhealth list has the same goals as the OSHCA organization, and already has considerable membership. By the same token I would advise the we

Fred, I agree I need a host of other things beyond expression of support. I wasn't sure if there is even interest in reviving OSHCA. I believe the OSHCA mailling at linuxmedicalnews is no longer there I was hoping to pool opinions on the "what next" during this meet in Tunis as well as fro

I agree enthusiastically with Adrian's advice assuming that one of the goals for OSHCA is being a catalyst for change. Building on these thoughts a first order of business would be a frank discussion of what we did right and what could be improved on vis a vis the first iteration of OSHCA. What
