Re: Outing Patient OS by Fred Trotter on Monday December 03, @09:03AM Tim, When David Uhlman and I forked FreeMED and OpenEMR, we released a software package that had live users AND functionality not found in either of the parent projects on day one. These two benifits are exactly the hallmarks of legitimate fork that PatientOS lacks. As far as your own project goes, it will obviously be a successor, at least in some respects, to TORCH, making it also legitimate. I am not against "the thousands flowers blooming" what I am against is totally duplicative, alpha projects attracting attention in the place of legitimate live projects. In short, the problem I have is with "weeds". Further, I have no problem with the PatientOS project manager investing *his own* time on Patient OS, "for fun" is a great reason to start a project! The problem that I have is that PatientOS is being presented as the "Open Source EHR Option" as opposed to "My personal pet Open Source EHR". Patient OS is intentionally trying to attract developers, developers who would not be working with the project if they understood the EHR landscape better. I will have to make these points clearer in my article. -FT Post Reply Name Email Notify Notify me via email of responses to this message Title Comment (Check those URLs! Don't forget the http://!)
