GNumed 0.7 release preparations
by Sebastian Hilbert 30 Mar '10

30 Mar '10

Hi all, Please help with making this release the best so far. For this to happen please read the documentation that is specific for your distribution and improve it. The docs for Ubuntu are in pretty good shape I think. Fedora lacks behind. Mandriva could be updated with the information posted on the Mailing list, especially the server section for Mandriva. Debian: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/DebianGuideShort Ubuntu: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/UbuntuGuideShort openSUSE: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/ServerInstall#open_SuSE_rpm_packages Fedora: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/FedoraGuideShort Mandriva: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/MandrivaGuideShort PCLinuxOS http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/PCLinuxOSGuideShort Windows: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideWin - change ahead, no more dependencies MacOSX: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuideMac - any chance to have packages for that ? Pyinstaller I use for Windows or py2dmg should be able to produce binaries that need no system wide installation of python and the like. PortableApps: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/InstallerGuidePortable - needs cleanup. there will be a portable client but no server. If anyone wants to work on the portable server I have some great code on disk that needs polishing. Live-CD: http://wiki.gnumed.de/bin/view/Gnumed/GnumedLiveCD If you care about GNUmed on your favorite platform spend a minute an get the documentation for fellow users in best shape possible. If you have any question don't hesitate to contact the mailing list or myself. Regards, S. Hilbert, MD GNUmed team

Can i present a paper on the medical sig here?
by Ankur Sinha 15 Mar '10

15 Mar '10

hi, One of the Institutes here is holding a conference[1]. One of the categories here is "Healthcare IT", as you can see on the front page. Can I present a paper on Fedora-medical here? We might get some more contributors? If I can, I'd be grateful if you folks could please give me pointers/references to include in the paper. The last date for submissions was yesterday, but since I have exams (and the organizer happens to be an acquaintance), I have time time Thursday to make my submission. Thanks :) [1] http://www.ncismanipal.org/ -- regards, Ankur - FAS : ankursinha ; franciscod @ Freenode - gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 5E9BF638

PatientOS
by Stathis Iosifidis (aka diamond_gr) 15 Mar '10

Hello, I downloaded PatientOS just to check what's that. Well, I didn't install it but I checked their page http://www.patientos.org/ and the screenshots. I found out that they have pets as patients. So I guess it can be used both for humans and animals. I checked the licence and it says GNU GPL. Does anybody knows what's that? Regards, Stathis

Drivers: main concern in adopting OSS solutions
by Sonali Warunjikar 10 Mar '10

10 Mar '10

I am a dentist. I have been a long time Linux (Fedora since RH 7 days) user at my home and always wish I could use Linux in the clinic. I find Linux to be incredibly stable, fast, reliable and secure. At clinic, I am locked in to proprietary software simply because of lack of drivers for devices such as RVG (Kodak). Most representatives of the company I try to talk with in this regard are not even aware that there exists an operating system other than Windows. For them this is a one off and unreasonable demand to have drivers for Linux. (Perhaps they are right because not too many people ask for it. But that's a deadlock. People do not ask for it, because this option does not reach too many people.) Lack of drivers is really a bottleneck in adopting a system the way I'd like it to be. I believe, OSS adoption is meaningful only if I adopt the Linux OS, too for all its benefits. For me, it's not just about running OSS workflow applications on Windows. Any exchange of ideas on what to expect from OSS community in this regard, ways to awaken device manufacturers, any other technical hints as a way out are welcome. Regards, Sonali.
