11/5/09 - OSfA Healthcare Working Group meeting notes



Attendees:

Alex Vernet (Orbeon)

Ben Mehling (Medsphere)

Anthony Gold (Healthy Humans)



With such a small group, focus was on brainstorming ideas related to the charter and potential "activities" of our working group.  Idea threads noted below:



*         Present open source products in more conducive way for government consumption

*         Directory of OSS healthcare software with case studies for government folks looking for solutions

o   Probably exists, but not in a format that is easily consumable

*         Apps.gov - allow government agencies to find software - mostly services-based software - can we tie into that?

*         Group to promote OSS w/in government agencies - getting people involved with projects: participation, specs, community development, etc.

*         Operationalizing above: risk management, procurement, evaluation, contribution, etc.



Question raised as to whether we have a wiki for group coordination and participation.  Anthony took action to investigate.



Next meeting: continue fleshing out potential activities and charter for this working group.
