LinuxMedNews
The purpose of LinuxMedNews is to facilitate,
amplify and begin the process of fundamentally changing medical education and
practice into a more effective, fair and humane enterprise using modern
technologies. This is a site that can react to fast-breaking news using powerful
publishing software that allows anyone to contribute as well as providing forums
for discussion.
Too long has medicine followed a rigid hierarchy and either scorned information technology, or gone about it in ways doomed to
failure.
This site is different. Technology in all aspects
of medicine is embraced and promoted. Particularly Linux and open source
software. Radical, free ideas and concrete embodiments of those ideas are
(within reason) welcome here as well as a brokerage for practical advice.
