HIMSS: Nothing more authentic and scalable than open source
,----[ Quote ]
| If peers are helping peers meet the critical
| and sensitive needs of their organizations,
| say for example at HIMSS â why wouldnât it
| be the same for our software development?
| Open source may be a deviation from
| conventional thought, but today it is
| playing an active role in meeting these
| requirements and helping organizations to
| scale.
|
| Open-source software offers a better
| alternative: what you see is what you get,
| the customer can fully evaluate a technology
| to understand what is offered, what it does,
| how it can be improved, and how to fits it
| into a workflow.

HealthAlliance restarts open-source desktop project
,----[ Quote ]
| Auckland health shared services unit
| HealthAlliance has resuscitated efforts to
| develop a standard desktop based on open-
| source software, but CIO Phil Brimacombe
| says it looks as though the District Health
| Boards will never be able to divorce their
| desktops entirely from Microsoft.
|
| First mooted in 2005, the open-source
| desktop idea, seen as potentially relevant
| for all DHBs, was âput into mothballsâ in
| 2009, owing to many higher-priority
| projects, Brimacombe says.
|
| [...]
|
| âThereâs no way we could be Microsoft-
| free,â says Brimacombe, âbut we expect a
| hybrid solution will still lower our total
| cost of ownership.â
