The usual spelling is "Debian Med" (with space).

Fully ACK.

Either:
The ultimate operating system for medicine, pre-clinical research
and bio informatics.
[Hope some of the bio-informaticans will insist if this could be
enhanced.]

Or:
Complete free and open system for all tasks in medical care and
biological research

I have no specific preference for one of the options. For *me*
'community-driven' is somehow redundant but I perfectly admit that
I might be wrong here.

IMHO the answer is quite simple to answer: We can not be better than the
programs we are packaging.

You might know that I have a large list of talks here:
http://people.debian.org/~tille/talks/
and recently maintain these in
git://people.debian.org/~/talks.git

Not totally sure what you mean here.

It is hard to demonstrate a program you do not know. However, I think I
remember that GNUmed people did some demo video.

I'm attaching some example abstract I used at some previous event:

Debian Med - Integrated software environment for all medical purposes based on Debian GNU/Linux
The Debian Med project started in 2002 with the objective to bring free medical software into the focus of users. The first step was the investigation of available Free Software in this area and to
accomplish the conditions for a simple and solid installation of this software in Debian GNU/Linux.
It has shown that the Debian Med project has a positive effect for the cooperating upstream projects. The fields molecular biology and medical imaging were covered quite good with Free Software solutions and there are even Free Software projects to manage a medical practice. The Debian Med project tries to be the missing link between developers and users to support Free Software solutions for all areas in medicine.
Debian Med is intended to be useful for service providers who want to distribute their free or proprietary solutions in medical care. The whole project is embeded into the Debian Pure Blends framework as well as Debian Edu, Debian Science and others.

Thanks for considering to propagate Debian Med
