Re: Fwd: Decision support

 

Hi Jan-Marc,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I believe that we can establish a firm ground for collaboration.

Today we are just finishing a three day workshop at the National
Institute of Science & Computing in Brazil (INCT). 
http://macc.lncc.br/principal.php?lang=1 

We have been very successful in building further collaboration and
spreading the word about the need for multi-level modeling in
healthcare. It is good that we have a few weeks to setup our
arrangements because out of respect for our team and especially for
Roger Erens (he was my intellectual/OSHIP lifeline for many months) I
need to prepare a vision document and let everyone else know what
happened, what is happening and the decisions that we need to make as a
group. 

If you are in agreement, then when I publish the vision document I will
let you know.  Okay?

Yes there is a demo and if you need any help at all myself or anyone
else on the development team will be happy to assist.  The project is
currently a Python implementation but Java and Ruby are coming very
soon. You can get the code at https://launchpad.net/oship feel free to
request to join the development team mailing list.  The group is
moderated because the entire team has commit access.  We are growing
quickly and I need to re-organize :-) but this is the way it is at the
moment. 

Regards,
Tim
