Depends I guess on exactly what you mean by OLPC project.<br>And what your concerns are.<br><br>Has the WorldVistA project been officially endorsed by OLPC management? <br>Not yet. I'm hoping it will be soon.<br><br>
Is it targeted for a garden variety linux PC or the OLPC XO. Definitely the XO.<br><br>A commercial vendor already has a mono port that runs on Linux.<br><br>Will all work on this project be released under the GPL? Definitely!<br>
<br>The event is an OLPC Health Jam. There will be lots of other folks working on<br>
OLPC Health related projects, and if you decide you don't like us or our project,<br>
you can defect and join another team working on Medical Sensor hardware,<br>
health curriculum,... <br><br>If you attend the event, I'm sure you will find something fun, constructive, worthwhile...<br>Whether or not it is our project. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/3/14 Jon Bertrand <<a href="mailto:JonB@cirris.com">JonB@cirris.com</a>>:<br>
