IMIA has formed an open source working group, particulars of which can be found here. ‘The IMIA Open Source Health Informatics Working Group (OSWG) will bring together experts and interested individuals from a wide range of health professions and with a range of interests in the potential application of open source solutions within their domains of expertise. The OSWG will explore the implications of the open source approach for all aspects of IMIA’s areas of interest. It will work with other Working and Special Interest Groups to explore the appropriate use of open source solutions and applications…’ We are reporting this a little late since it occurred October 4th, but this announcement is significant enough to put out anyway.
