OpenEMR at OSCON - Developers Gathering?

tmccormi wrote on Thursday, June 24, 2010:

As you may know Dr Sam Bowen and Tony McCormick are presenters at OSCON in Portland Oregon next month.     We would love to have as many of the developers and contributers to this project get together to meet, talk, share ideas and make some plans!

What do you all say?    The OSCON show is from July 19 to July 23, or presentation is at 4:30 PM on the 21st …  I’m open to any kind of gathering…  there is a ton of space for ad-hoc stuff at this huge convention.

See the O’Reilly Blog about the open source healthcare IT track. Dr Bowen and I will be presenting for OpenEMR (OpenMedSoftware.org) regarding the ongoing Meaningful Use certification drive http://radar.oreilly.com/2010/05/what-i-like-about-the-health-c.html Tony www.mi-squared.com

PS: SourceForge throws one of the best parties at this event!  ……

I would like to go … for penny pinching purposes is there any way to get a discount on … looks like the Sessions Only plan is the cheapest that covers you?

Well you can just come for the exhibitor, they are free (I think).  But the sessions are worth it.

I don’t usually do conventions but I’m giving this some serious thought.  Portland is a perfect destination for a little motorcycle adventure tour from the Bay Area.  :-)  What’s a good day to meet with you guys?

That would be great Rod.   I’ll be here all week, of course so I’m open.  Sam probably won’t come in until Tuesday evening, I’ll bet.  Not sure (yet) how long he’ll hang around for after Wednesday (21st).   So… best guess is that we should plan on Wednesday as the official OpenEMR developers day,  Maybe right after the presentation which is at 4:30…   or sometime before it…

I haven’t actually finalized plans so I am still pretty open.  I was hoping to work in a visit in San Jose with Sena Palanasami  +/- Thomas Wong.

OK I think I’ll be there all day on the 21st then.  Perhaps we can include dinner in our meetup plans?

By the way is anyone going to the Houston thing in September?  I don’t plan to, but am curious.

Dinner is a must … :slight_smile:

MI-SQUARED is a sponsor of the September FOSS… so we’ll be there.
