Joseph Dal Molin writes: ‘I am delighted to have the honour of announcing the inaugural meeting of the
Open Source Health Care Alliance (OSHCA). The OSHCA Forum will take place on June 1st, 2000, in Rome Italy.’ Editor’s note: I want to go. Anybody have a spare plane ticket that I can borrow?

This is all verbatim from the announcement except for html’ing the links, which I did:

The meeting is being co-sponsored by the
Joint FAO/IAEA Programme (Food and Agriculture Organization, International Atomic Energy
Agency) Minrou Development Corp. and Sistema Information Systems.

The primary goals of the meeting are:

– to finalize OSHCA’s charter based on the discussion and drafts which have
and are being developed on the OpenHealth mailing list;
– to set goals and to determine the interests of the members;
– to have some fun and get to know each other after all that time in cyberspace.

If you are planning or considering attending, would like to make a presentation or want to volunteer to help making the OSHCA Forum a success, please email dalmolin@home.com ASAP so that we can arrange for the appropriate amount of cappuccino supplies. For a more detailed agenda, further information and updates, and draft versions of the charter, please go to www.oshca.org
