+Hi
+
+this bits is actually my report from LSM, Geneva 2012
+In this report:
+
+1. Medical imaging using Debian
+2. Debian Med packaging workshop
+3. Integration of VistA into Debian
+4. Other interesting talks
+
+
+1. Medical imaging using Debian[1]
+===============================
+
+There were about 10 attendees basically upstream developers of medical
+imaging software.  The talk got some attention and the message to
+include even more medical imaging software into Debian was well
+percived.  Thanks to Mathieu Malaterre there was some live demonstration
+which was way easier for him as a medical imaging expert than it would
+have been for me.

+
+
+2. Debian Med packaging workshop[2a]
+================================
+
+Due to my advertising in the talk yesterday three students (two of them
+from one medical imaging project, one from an other project) attended
+the workshop.  Thanks to Axel Beckert who helped me out surviving the
+challenge to walk on unexplored ground.
+
+The idea of the workshop was to ask the attendees to name a package of
+their own and just package this.  Because two of the attendees were
+upstream developers of CreaTools[2b] we decided to go on for packaging
+this.  After circumeventing some pitfalls in the beginning it went
+rather smoothly and after about 2.5 hours we were able to commit some
+initial packaging to the Debian Med Git repository[2c] which comes quite
+close to a ready package (perhaps some split into a library and a
+development package needs to be done and for sure testing is needed).
+
+Quoting Frederic Cervenansky, upstream of CreaTools
+
+    Thanks for your work. Your workshop was very interesting and
+    didactic: a relevant discussion between Claire and me for the
+    future of Creatools has emerged from the difficulties you
+    encountered to package creatools.
+    I will try, before the end of the month, to fully package
+    creatools. And for sure, I will contact the debian-med mailing
+    list.

+
+
+3. Integration of VistA into Debian[3a]
+===================================
+
+I had the good chance to directly address some issues of Claudio Zaugg
+the speaker in the talk "Implementing open source Health Information
+Systems in Low- and Middle Income Countries – a practical review"[3b]
+directly before mine.  It turned out that by using Debian packaged
+software might help simplifying the issues they had in supporting health
+care workers in Low- and Middle Income Countries.
+
+My talk was partly repeating some basic ideas about Debian Med from the
+talk on Monday because the audience was completely different.  Than I
+tried to explain in detail how we tried hard to establish good contacts
+to upstream developers and why this is essential to finalise the goal to
+include hospital information systems straight into Debian any by doing
+so open the doors of hospitals for large scale Debian installations.
+
+There is also video recording of this talk.[3c]

+
+
+4. Other interesting talks
+==========================
+
+OpenEMR, a multi-language free open source electronic health record for international use[4a]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Just discussed the packaging of OpenEMR which is prepared for Debian Med
+as it can be seen on our tasks page[4b].  The contact to the creator of
+some inofficial package will be established to finalise this task.
+
+OpenFovea : when open-source and biophysical research get married[4c]
+-----------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Just another target for Debian Med popped up in this talk to further
+enhance Debian Med in covering all issues of medical care on one hand
+and on the other hand helping upstream authors to distribute their code
+more effectively.
+
+Collaborative software development for nanoscale physics[4d]
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The talk would have fit very nicely into the Debian Science workshop[4e]
+at ESRF (European Synchrotron Radiation Facility[4f]) in Grenoble because
+it was about ETRF (European Theoretical Radiation Facility[4g] - seems
+these people are doing everything with pen and paper where ESRF people
+need a large gadget ;-)).  At previous LSM events I had just talked with
+Yann and the work to include their software into Debian is on its way.
+
+Free software and High Performance Computing[4h]
+--------------------------------------------
+
+This talk was not directly connected to my Debian work but I simply
+enjoyed to see how "two people" had a really entertaining talk about Top
+500 computers.  Vittoria, you made my last day at LSM.
