from the dept. (You can check the original post at http://www.meanmicio.org/2012/04/gnu-health-wins-fsf-project-of-social.html ) Just got back to Buenos Aires after a 10 days in the United States and El Salvador, and finally got some time to write about the award, what it means to GNU Solidario and to the community at large. The FSF's ceremony took place at the University of Massachusetts, Boston (UMass) on Sunday March 25th, during the LibrePlanet 2012 conference. On the ceremony, there were two awards :
I want to thank the committee for choosing GNU Health :Suresh Ramasubramanian, Peter H. Salus, Wietse Venema, Raj Mathur, Hong Feng, Andrew Tridgell, Jonas Oberg, Vernor Vinge, Richard Stallman, Fernanda G. Weiden, Harald Welte, and Rob Savoyes. We take this award with great pride, but also with great responsibility. We share this award with novel previous winners Wikipedia, Creative Commons, Internet Archives, Groklaw, Tor and Sahana Disaster Management System. I see Free Software as social activism. GNU Health goal is to improve the lives of the underprivileged by means of Free Software. We deliver a Free Health and Hospital Information System to health centers all around the world. Because is Free (Freedom), the software belongs to them. They can modify it, improve it, and localize it to their needs ! This is the Free Software philosophy. GNU Health provides the basis for sustainable and universal medicine, no matter the economical status of the health center or the patient. After all, Health is a non-negotiable human right and never should belong to the greedy corporations. Health is a public good, and so it should be health informatics. I want to thank the Free Software Foundation and its creator, Richard Stallman, for creating the environment for social justice and equity. Thank you to the Free Software community :Python, Postgresql, Tryton, GNU/Linux, GnuPG and Wikimedia foundation are just some of the building blocks for GNU Health. Without a free software community, GNU Health wouldn't exist. Thank you to the governments adopting Free Software as a Public good. Thank you to the community, to all of you who contribute your time and talent to improve GNU Health ! Finally,I want to dedicate this award to the men and women who anonymously give their lives to help the underprivileged. You are an example for all of us !

from the health-IT failures. dept. Launched with great fanfare in May of 2008, according to this announcement, Google Health will stop taking new data January 2012, continue to allow data access and then cease operations January 2013: "...Now, with a few years of experience, we’ve observed that Google Health is not having the broad impact that we hoped it would. There has been adoption among certain groups of users like tech-savvy patients and their caregivers, and more recently fitness and wellness enthusiasts. But we haven’t found a way to translate that limited usage into widespread adoption in the daily health routines of millions of people. That’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to discontinue the Google Health service. We’ll continue to operate the Google Health site as usual through January 1, 2012, and we’ll provide an ongoing way for people to download their health data for an additional year beyond that, through January 1, 2013. Any data that remains in Google Health after that point will be permanently deleted..." Read More... Submit this to FSDaily!
