Philip/all,
Great to hear. Ralph's talk sounds very STEM related. Given both STEM and a session about your OpenChrom were accepted into the ECE program isn't bad either. Not sure about any others, but at least 2 this time.
I got Elexis in touch with Eclipse DemoCamp Vienna and they found it very appealing, but those who work with Elexis couldn't make it this time. Hopefully at another DemoCamp Vienna and there could be enough mention of the Science IWG there, too. AFAIR Vienna University of Technology was also the place I met Matthias from BfR, now active committers to STEM during my own STEM presentation. They probably used or evaluated it at the time, but did not contribute to it then.
Unfortunately Austrian ministry of health and bureaucratic healthcare insurance bodies related to it have been hostile and destructive to Open Source in the past (e.g. FSF even sued them for GPL violation) in a weird illusion, insurance fraud being supported by the fact that a healthcare software or parts of it were Open Source
However, several "established" closed-source practice management vendors secretly providing malware-like trojan components with their products that violated privacy of both doctors and their patients could change such views towards more sympathy for transparent Open solutions like STEM or Elexis, where users can see what it contains for most parts
Let's hope so and looking forward to seeing some of you at or around ECE next month,
Werner
