Hi, The header has already told you what to expect. :) It dates back to a lazy afternoon of July, when I had my occasional "spark of enthusiasm" for doing something. So I started a conversation in Fedora India mailing list[1]. It was decided that such a thing would be helpful. More seriously, we do lack packaged applications and dedicated spins in the area of healthcare. If someone wants to put in a FOSS based solution into a hospital/clinic workflow, there is no elegant solution. So if we can have a medical spin, that is going to be help. The initial wiki page is here[2]. Simply put, the goal of the SIG is going to be: 1. Working on identifying the various workflows / needs of the medical or healthcare community in terms of software. 2. Bring together and package the software those fitting in the workflow. 3. Composing a spin to get a out-of-the-box solution. 4. At a later stage, developing any crucial app that may be lacking. To make it a success, we need volunteers. So please join, if you feel that it is a worthy cause. Once a few more people are there, we can discuss and take it forward. I am keeping my fingers crossed. :) [1] https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-india/2009-July/msg00060.html [2] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/FedoraMedical -- Regards, Susmit. ============================================= http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/user:susmit ============================================= -- fedora-announce-list mailing list fedora-announce-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-announce-list
