Greetings all:

The Foundation recently upgraded some of its iron (servers) only to discover, of course that other iron was 'rotting' in the computer sense.

If someone out there has rackmount equipment they would be willing to donate to the Foundation, we, the Foundation will give you a letter for tax writeoff.

What do we need:
1. Power Rack mount power conditioner/supplies
2. Servers. 1u or 2u servers, dual processor, 1-4 Gb of ram and preferably hot swap drives. We will consider others, of course, room and power all dependent.

A quick update

The teams which have formed to bring FreeMED to you are in action. This weekend we had an international phone call with members from Cyprus, Austria, Canada and the US all talking about FreeMED and how to make it work better.

If you are still thinking you want to work on the project, drop us a line. FreeMED is all of us, all our ideas, all our working power together.

The Foundation formed Google Groups for the work teams to improve communication and information flow.

Greetings all:

FreeMED has always been a community project. Our UI is undergoing some changes and updates to make it better and more accessible for you, the user.

If you have an interest in UI design and FreeMED, now is the time. Please let us know so we can make you an active part of our workgroup.

We have invited those who indicated an interest in programming and development; now, we invite you, our community at large to make your statement. If you have an interest, please let us know. Our active community is in Google Groups. You'll need an invitation.

The FreeMED Software Foundation is proud to announce an association with EGADSS (EVIDENCE-BASED GUIDELINES AND DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM). EGADSS uses the Arden Syntax to incorporate data mining into clinical decision making.

The FreeMED Software Foundation is pleased to announce a donation from Instantiations of Window Builder Pro a Google Web Tools Graphic User Interface builder. This generous donation will help us further our goal of transiting 0.9.x series to GWT.

Thank you Instantiations for your generous gift.

For the Foundation

If you indicated an interest in FreeMED on the download pages you should have received an invitation to join one of our Google Working Groups. If you are interested in working with development or programming send an email to director at freemedsoftware.org with a statement of interest. I will return your invitation.

Announcement of an interim release candidate in the 0.9 series

FreeMED Software Foundation announces the release of the first of the 0.9.x series of its programs. Version 0.9 follows the opensource odd/even naming scheme and as such it is a development version. We expect a production version to follow with 1.0. The 0.9 series is a dramatic change with complete separation of API and
UI functions .

The Board of Trustees met this past weekend (Nov 3, 2007) and discussed the release of 0.9.x series for FreeMED. We are not ready yet. You in the community can speed this process by volunteering to help.

• We need a CSS coder who can help make 0.9.x IE friendly and help with some design.

Greetings all:

As Foundation Board Director, I see the numbers of requests to help with clinical correlates, programming, billing and reporting for FreeMED. We at the Foundation depend on you the user for our direction, our upgrades and help to make FreeMED what you want it to be.

Of the more than 300 volunteers on our download forms, only two have responded to our return letters asking for volunteer help with FreeMED.

Many of our downloads are from larger organizations looking to see if FreeMED has application in the enterprise structure.

We believe that FreeMED is indeed ready for enterprise wide use and distribution. It can be run as standalone or as an ASP. There are projects using both 0.8.x series and now 0.9.x series which function in an ASP model.
