Official Invite - OpenEMR MEETUP in Portland, OR

[tmccormick]

This is a bit late notice, but the OEMR is planning on running regular, perhaps quarterly OpenEMR Meet-ups in regions around the USA and perhaps the world where ever we can get a host to sponsor one. We had one in Tampa Bay, Florida at the end of May and it was both fun and productive.

So .. I am hosting one on Saturday July 21st here in Portland Oregon. The week prior to that is O'Reilly's big Opensource Convention (OSCON) and many people from the OpenEMR community as well as the broader opensource HealthCare community will already be in town. (just hanging out in the halls at OSCON is a real inspiring activity!)

Please RSVP me at secretary @ oemr.org if you are interested in attending so I will know if I need to rent a meeting space.

There is no specific agenda and the meeting is open to users, developers, admirers and just folks interested in meeting some of the people involved. We'll decide what's important to share and even work on code if that seems like the thing to do.

Portland, Oregon is really really nice in July ...

Officially sending my MUCH REGRETTTED negative RSVP. Just can't swing the $650 buck ticket for a single weekend, much less the $1300 for the two of us. I hope to virtual in though!

I had a good time at the Meet Up in Portland. Thanks Tony for the Hospitality!

We met in the home of Dr. Char Glenn and her husband Keith Landstrom (sorry about the spelling). We spent a fair amount of time talking about the user interface of OpenEMR with a couple of normal users who are not computer wizards. It was interesting to get the perspective of someone who hates Google.

We also met up with Ensoftek who has some important government bids in and in the running at least on a couple. Good luck! Ram, Manu, and Ramesh!

We need to pick the next site for a Meet Up. Anybody in the Indianapolis area?
