Hi,
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.
My congratulations, that's a great idea but certainly a big
effort.
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.
I think for this kind of sub projects it is quite important to gather
some
knowledge of what the target group really needs. Doctors, similar to other
user groups, will probably not like to pick what they need from a huge
repo where simply everything is in. Attractive to them is probably more
a solution stack which helps them in their daily work. And to assemble
that stack is a good portion of work which I think is key here. And, more
than usual, that is dependant on the country where you want to position
the project.
Another thing that comes to my mind is: What makes a real openSUSE
sub project? Sascha founded the Medical sub project, there is the Edu
sub project, I am dreaming of a small business sub project, there is an
audio sub project and so on. Do we want some guidelines or frame under
which we position such sub projects?
Thoughts?
Klaas
