yes and no -- I think that I should not even try to present some
individual software solutions but rather Debian as a hole and its fit
due to all work of Debian Med... then if we come back to privacy
concerns at the level of OS:
- weakly protected (or unprotected at all) data by the corresponding
program is much more vulnerable if OS is vulnerable and
cannot impose file-system level access right restrictions, process
jailing and access control (SE Linux, LXC, etc)
- OS level encryption of drives/swap to guarantee data safety
if corresponding hardware gets stolen / recycled
- ??? more ???
High-level summary: secure-by-design OS helps to maintain data
privacy/security at appropriate level, while "secure" application on a
vulnerable OS cannot protect data adequately.
and as for a demo -- just demonstrate Debian itself -- availability of
thousands of software solutions with accent on those for health
community -- ease of installation, maintenance, uniform bug reporting,
etc -- common drill
or do you feel such perspective is not appropriate here?

cool -- you keep a nice archive of them!

sorry -- I guess url needs to be fixed up a bit -- also I don't
find you under /srv/git.debian.org/git/users on git.debian.org

I am not sure either of what supporting materials they would like to
see ;-)

if there were demo videos from projects Debian Med provides/support --
that would be cool -- could serve the "screen saver" to run on the demo
box/laptop just to attract audience to moving dots ;)

thanks -- if I decide to jump in -- I will share all the materials I
submit/use
