New Leadership for the Littlefish Project

Posted by Saint on Friday November 03, 2000 @ 03:09 PM
from the the-next-10-yards dept.
The Littlefish project is announcing a change in project leadership from Chris Fraser to Nicolas Pettiaux

"Eric Raymond states in the Cathedral and the Bazaar: "When you lose interest in a program, your last duty to it is to hand it off to a competent successor. Well I haven't lost interest but due to pressing personal family issues, it is time to pass the project on to a competent successor."

Details of Pettiaux's considerable involvement in open source software follows. Digg this article

It is therefore with great pleasure that I can officially announce that Mr. Nicolas Pettiaux has agreed to take over the leadership of the Littlefish Health Project. His email is nicolas.pettiaux@linuxbe.org

Nicolas has solid open source credentials including:

Vice-presidency of the French speaking AFUL (www.aful.org), French speaking association of open source and Linux users. Organizer of Open source conferences with Eric Raymond - http://conf.linuxbe.org,
A representative of Eurolinux, to lobby politicians, journalists and fellow citizen about the risk of software patents and promote the use of open source in government http://petition.eurolinux.org)
Promoter of the use of open source softwares in public schools in Belgium (not yet documented in any site)...
Actively lobbies the EU to adopt fund open source projects.

As assitant at the Free University of Brussels Fauclty of Medecine, Nicolas has worked in signal analysis (ECG, ballistocardiography, breathing signals), health image processing and 3D reconstruction. Nicolas has a PhD in theoretical physics and a complementary business education.
Finally, Nicolas's wife is a cardiologist that has much interest in using a software like Littlefish. He is also the happy father of 2 children, Jason (6) and Lucie (4). Under Nicolas's leadership , the links that Littlefish has between the Good Electronic Health Record and members of the Open Source Health Care Alliance, I am reassured that the project will continue to grow and become available for health services everywhere to improve the health of the global community.
The Littlefish Trademark will ensure that the project will always remain open source and Pangaea & Microshare will continue to provide the webserver to sponsor The Littlefish Health Project.
