GNUmed Live media (CD,vmware) started
by Sebastian Hilbert 11 Feb '10

11 Feb '10

Hi all, To put some meat behind the effort to create a medical linux distribution I have started to produce a number of live media. Currently available are: 1.) Debian based Live-CD (Xfce-based) 2.) openSUSE based Live-CD (KDE4-based) 3.) openSUSE based virtual machine (vmware/virtualbox) 4.) openSUSE based disk image Downloads: 1.)http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideHomeShort 2.)http://susestudio.com/download/4d771f3b6a19b08397920f4513c9ab88/GNUmed_L… 3.)http://susestudio.com/download/512e770fb3ebb7f6fb6a227006280e69/GNUmed_L… 4.)http://susestudio.com/download/136f626dc436b9693a09fd665bbeff1f/GNUmed_L… The openSUSE downloads will expire in 7 days. Unless I find some hoster where I can store the images I cannot continously provide them. Suggestions ? All versions include a fully configured GNUmed 0.6.2 that can access a local (as in included and running) GNUmed database. These images are only proof of concept and are intended to serve as a nucleus for a medical linux distribution (that means packaging and including more packages) Have a look and identify areas that can benefit from a concerted effort (e.g. wallpaper, bootsplash, firefox plugins) Sebastian -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-medical+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-medical+help(a)opensuse.org

Concerted effort for a GNU/Linux distribution for the medical profession
by Sebastian Hilbert 10 Feb '10

10 Feb '10

Hi all, There is one thing most of us have in common. It is the wish or goal to create a computer operating system tailored to the needs of medical professionals , biochemists physiotherapists and many more. We all like free software. Recently a number of groups have formed to tackle the same problem. There is - the Fedora special interest group - the openSUSE medical group - the Debian-med group - the linuxforclinics project While diversification is natural it splits resources as well. As a software developer and release manager for GNUmed I kindly ask anyone active in these groups to stand together and get it started. As a first project I propose work on the distribution independent artwork. Please create a) a boot splash screen that looks adequate for a business, healthcare setting b) a wallpaper that reflect the healthcare setting (please no red cross and if possible no people in white coats or the like) Be creative. If you can please get artwork communities involved. Post to their forums. Make the aware of the effort. Thanks. As for the infrastructure: I know that Debian-med has a subversion repository which could host such things. I recommend agianst starting another mailing list just yet. There is one each for all projects already. As Andreas from Debian med put it. The goal is to refrain from starting yet another distribution but instead be better then what is there so your work will be the natural choice. Your help is greatly appreciated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-medical+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-medical+help(a)opensuse.org

Re: Metaproject: Debian Med tasks
by Sebastian Hilbert 08 Feb '10

08 Feb '10

Hi all, 1.) software reagarding medical/scientific tasks are spread all over the web. Effort has been undertaken to aggerate those in one place. Personally I have lost track. There are projects at freshmeat, sourceforge, savannah, debian-med and whatnot. I personally feel it is up to the project maintainers to make their work public. Sure it would help if there was this one place where all software could come together but this is the missing link so far 2.) I did not find GNUmed listed at Debian-med any more. Did I just overlook it or miss something ? 3.) There seems to be an unofficial Debian package of openemr you might want to take a look at http://www.openmedsoftware.org/wiki/OpenEMR_Downloads Summary: Visibility of the great software and packaging effort of FOSS software is far from ideal. This severly hinders your chances to get picked up by users. Everyone and their uncle has an app store today. All but FOSS software. Which is a shame. I mean first we create an kick ass alternative software. Then we either do not package it at all and require users to have Jedi powers to get it running or we package it in far too many formats and distributions so that a single prospective user does not have the slightest chance to get it installed. Why the hell do I need deb (Debian/Ubuntu etc.) rpm (individual rpm indeed for openSUSE, Fedora, Mandriva etc.) ebuild and whatnot ? Come on I am a software developer. Currently I spend more time packaging software then developing. This got to change. I know this is good for a flame war. Please don't. Let us find ways or maybe an infrastructure where packagers from various distributions can collaborate. Tell you what. The minute the Linux/FOSS community decides on one package format we will see adoption rate go up. Distributions could concentrate on innovation rather then packaging and software developers would be relieved of the packaging job and hunting around for the right place to send the software. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-medical+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-medical+help(a)opensuse.org
