We are very pleased to announce that the University of West Indies has joined the GNU Health‘s Community !
GNU Solidario and UWI are starting this cooperation working closely on GNU Health’s development and deployment in the region.
The University of the West Indies is a dynamic, international institution serving the countries of the Commonwealth Caribbean (Anguilla, Antigua/Barbuda, the Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, the British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Jamaica, Montserrat, St. Christopher-Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and the Turks and Caicos Islands).
UWI’s mission is to unlock West Indian potential for economic and cultural growth by high quality teaching and research aimed at meeting critical regional needs, by providing West Indian society with an active intellectual centre and by linking the West Indian community with distinguished centres of research and teaching in the Caribbean and overseas. 
UWI recognises that as a regional university supported by the West Indian peoples, and as the sole local organ equipped to meet local requirements and to relate its own developmental programmes to them, it should give priority to regional needs (…).
It’s wonderful to see how the GNU Health’s community is growing. We need to deliver more Health and Education with Free Software !

Brasilia: National Congress

These last two weeks have been very busy !! We went from Latinoware (Foz do Iguaçu) where we organized IWEEE 2011 Brazil: Momentum to the Encuentro Nacional de Tecnología da Informação (ENTI) in Brasilia.

Luis Falcón

The event, organized by Ministério do Planejamiento, Ministerío das Cidades, and Secretaria de Relações Institucionaias, gathered  parallel activities:

Juscelino Kubitschek’s Bridge
  • – II Encontro Nacional de Tecnologia da  Informação para os Municípios 
  • – II Encontro Nacional de Qualidade de Software 
  • – I Encontro de Governança em Tecnologia da Informação 
  • – I Encontro Nacional de Dados Abertos 
  • – Pré-Conferência Nacional de Governo Eletrônico 
GNU Solidario was invited in order to present GNU Health on the 26th. Luis Falcón gave an introductory speech about the ONG, the projects and GNU Health.

Luis Falcón and Cesar Brod
At the presentation participated also Cesar Brod (Coordinator of the Brazilian Public Software Portal, Ministry of Planning, Brazil), who explained how they met and how Luis`s work ,with GNU Solidario, contribuited to the spread of Free Software, Education and Health. 
Presentation of GNU Health and GNU Solidario
The introductory speeches created the perfect atmosphere for a round table that was animated by a strong participation from the public ! There were people from the Argentinian government, from Brazilian Ministry of Health, medical professionals from different hospitals, universities and IT specialists.
The public had many questions
Unfortunately time really flew … There were too many questions and too little time !! As you know, you are more than welcome to get in touch with us and send us your questions, doubts, concerns …
Roberto Sahakian – Jorge Luis Cabezas (Argentinian Government) and C. Melgosa
Our special thanks  to Cesar Brod and Corinto Meffe (Director of Department of Integration Information System, Brazil) for all the help, support, organization and … for the translating !
