LMN At WONCA 2004 (LinuxMedNews)

Tim Cook covers the World Conference of World Organization of National Colleges, Academies and Academic Associations of General Practitioners/Family Physicians (WONCA) conference for LinuxMedNews. "My last station was to chat with the Director of the Center for Healthcare IT (CHIT) at the AAFP, Dr. David Kibbe. I of course asked him about his fray with the open source community and he offered his side of the events. He feels he has “...scares from being burned.” He also stated that the open source community let him down because when he wanted to take the MEDPLEXUS EMR open source, “...they [the open source community] wanted to do it their way and not mine.” I responded by reminding him that there were many people offering to help him understand the open source processes and really wanted to see him succeed."
