Indignados demonstration in Spain. Analogies in Free Software community

Yesterday I returned to Buenos Aires from my European tour. It was a very productive week in Geneva and Barcelona, talking about MEDICAL with colleagues, partners, and organizations interested in implementing and joining the MEDICAL project. We also talked about the next version of MEDICAL, Tryton and OpenERP.

Angel, Albert Cervera (Nan Tic) and Luis Falcón in Barcelona

 

Nice dinner with the NaN tic guys. We talked about the OpenERP community, and the need of having a governance in Free Software projects without censorship  or being partial. We all see today how speculators are getting into the “open source” and the techniques they are using to lock-in users.

As I said in an interview last year in OpenERP ( http://www.openerp.com/node/549 ), at the end of the day, is your actions what counts, not the tools that you use. By the way, I hope this interview remains there and won’t be censored, as my latest emails 😉

Cool street names in Barcelona 🙂

Finally, I had the chance to go and support the “Indignados” demonstration in Plaza Cataluña, against politicians and private companies responsible of the crisis that we – as the community – have to suffer.

“Indignados” demonstration in Barcelona

After all, greed puts at risk the development and dignity of communities. The same greedy hands are the ones destroying societies and the free software projects.

Luckily, these people in Barcelona and in the rest of Spain, as well as the free software advocates,  have the conviction to fight for our dignity and future.

MEDICAL welcomes Tryton !

I have great news for the Free Software advocates.
 

We have started working in extending MEDICAL to support the Tryton ERP. Tryton is a great ERP with a solid free software philosophy, not only for releasing the source code, but by having NO LOCK-IN policies. So this is what we will achieve

–  Freedom of choice : Now the user will have complete freedom in Operating System, Database or ERP . The user will be able to choose from OpenERP or Tryton.

– Guarantee Upgrades : MEDICAL must rely on an architecture that allows the user to upgrade their infrastructure. The users and health centers should have the upgrade tools and documentation to update the operating system, database and ERP at no cost if they choose to do. Today we see that concept in GNU/Linux, Postgresql and Tryton. This schema guarantees that the end user has the best and most updated MEDICAL version, as well as the underlining components.

In this sense, we, as a community, will always be vigilant to any lock-in strategy in the underlying software (operating system, database or ERP) that could compromise its sustainability.

Many organizations around the world have chosen MEDICAL to improve the lives of the underprivileged. This community keeps growing because not only because of its technical capabilities, but also because of the free software philosophy behind it.

– Vendor independence : We, as a community, can NOT depend on a single vendor or group of vendors for the future of MEDICAL (or any free software solution for that matter). MEDICAL does not belong to Thymbra. MEDICAL is part of a non-for-profit organization, GNU Solidario, which can not be bought or fall into speculators hands. MEDICAL is a public good.

– Back to the roots : We need to get back to the origins of Free Software. As I said, this is not about only “open source”, but about community and ethics.

I believe that today we have the perfect scenario of freedom of choice, vendor independence, no lock-in policies of any type, community and evolution. These factors guarantee the sustainability of MEDICAL for the current and all the next installations around the world.
 
We will of course keep on developing MEDICAL so it will have the same functionality in all the environments (OpenERP, Tryton, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD…).

Today is a great day for MEDICAL and for Free Software.

Kisiizi Hospital is located in the Republic of Uganda in Western region near the boarder of DR congo. Kisiizi Hospital treats about 300,000 residents with the nearest hospital nearly 100 kilometers away, in Kabaale, it serves as a health haven for most residents who can barely afford pain killers. 
With support from many well wishers from UK, the hospital also trains Nurses at the Nursing school, these in turn are employed at the hospital. The hospital generates its own power through a hydro power plant. Its capacity is 250 beds. 
We at Geomaqs Technologies Ltd are helping the hospital implement a management Information System based on openerp. 
We would like to adopt medical as a HIS/MRS. Are there any members who have functional modules for openerp 5.0.14, reply mokongo@geomaqs.com

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.
