Re: Medical Ubuntu Project

Hi everybody. Let me introduce myself. I am Dr. Jorge Raul Rodriguez, Executive Director of BioLinux Group sited in Argentina, non profit organisation for researching, developing and implementing free and opensource software into health care environments in Latin America. I read the last e-mails about Medical Ubuntu, that is wonderfull. Our group is working on a Medical version of GNU/Linux, for public hospitals, based on debian kernel, called SaluX. So we think that we could join efforts to make an exchange between groups for a better product.

SaluX has all the services of a GNU/Linux server plus terminal server capabilities. It was installed in some hospitals in Argentina without any problems.

Our SaluX Project Director is Dr. Alberto Menini (aemenini@yahoo.com) so you could contac him too (he understands english too good).

You could get more information in the next URLs:

I might add from my own experience: Starting and maintaining
a project needs time, persistence and patience.  You should be
able to give at least three solid reasons to start a new
project instead of joining an existing one and enhancing it
in the direction you want.  (No, you do not need to give this
reason here: Just take a piece of paper and a pen and write
down these three reasons that enforce you to maintain
Medical Ubuntu.)  If you have no problems to do this than
your project has a chance to be successful.

Kind regards

           Andreas.
