Medical (http://medical.sf.net) has been included in the European Commission Open Source Observatory (OSOR).

OSOR is the Free Software portal of the European Community to use in the public administrations.

Now Medical has a local mirror for Europe, with the software as well as local news.

The EU follows the same steps as the Brazilian government, that have included Medical in the Public Software Portal (Portal do Software Publico Brasileiro ), where there is a community (Medical – BR ) dedicated to the Brazilian localization.
Corinto Meffe, IT innovation manager from the Brazilian government, will join me  at LinuxCon 2010 Brasil, in the Medical presentation “Benefits of implementing a Free Hospital Information System” 

Many thanks to both governments to include Medical in their portals and to work on the inclusion of free software in the Public sector.
