[opensuse-packaging] Call for Participation: New Project - openSUSE Medical
Abstract: I'm pleased to announce an new Subproject from openSUSE: openSUSE_Medical. This new Project tries to package more Software for doctors's practice or clinical needs. With our work we try to bridge a gap in the market. Logistic: For better logistic we have opened an new OBS Project called "medical". You can use it as Repo http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/medical/. Our new Wikisite is placed under: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE-Medical. There you find our new Mailinglist for our Project. What is to do? We try to package more Software. I've found this List [1] about Free Medical Software. we thought, that we can try to build one Software each purpose. If this is done, we can try to package more Software. But it is important to package not too much. This is an Joy- Project. What we need: First of all we need Packager. and one who updates the wikipage and make status updates. This Project is for packaging Beginners to Specialists. We have stuff for everyone. If you want to join our Team, just send a Message to: saigkill@opensuse.org [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_open_source_healthcare_software -- Sincerely yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Member openSUSE Ambassador openSUSE Marketing Team openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://saigkill.wordpress.com ClaimID: http://claimid.com/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+help@opensuse.org
Great Idea, are there any end-users involved who will test and use the medical distribution? Kind Regards, Schlomo Sascha 'saigkill' Manns wrote:

Hi, without trying to put you off your enthusiasm, but wouldn't it be more worth your effort to first find a user and then collect software? Otherwise you might spend a lot of work and find out in the end that nobody wants to use it because the medical distribution lacks some important programs. I have some background working as a Linux consultant for German hospitals and know that there are a lot of things for which they need to use special software (for regulatory reasons and to communicate with the health insurance system, labs etc.). Based on that I would recommend to find first a user backing the project, this could be done by writing articles or holding talks at suitable conferences. Just collect and show what kind of Open Source software there is and maybe somebody will back the project? Just my 2c... As author of other open source software I know about the stony way to building a community for something and wish you lots of luck and success with it.

I can test anything for interfacing with OneTouch UltraLink meters and Medtronic Paradigm Insulin Pumps. Have an open format from those where statical analysis can be applied to the data from those would be great. Schlomo Schapiro wrote:
