Several of us in the community have been asked to speak and represent the OpenEMR project on panels at the upcoming OSHERA conference
So far it’s myself as president of OEMR and MI2, Shameem from ZHH, Ramesh (and others) from Ensoftek.
We are interested in what the community would like to convey about our project to the world…
–Tony, Shameem and Ramesh

Hmm … no interest at all in this? I don’t think you get how big a deal this is …

Thank you for participating. I would like to see as much publicity as possible for OEMR. What I would really like to see is the 501c receiving a grant to continue development. I am no expert, but I feel that OEMR is the best open-source application for a outpatient clinic environment.

Thanks! We think that too. In order to do the grant thing we need to be very well organized and have some support from folks that know how to write grants. We are hoping that some kind of collaboration or alliance with OSHERA will move us in that direction.
