FLOSS
in health care track</a> was initiated this year. The track had 23
speakers, 1 keynote presentation and 1 panel discussion.<br>
Next year we will continue with the FLOSS track. Please find the

<br>
Med-e-Tel is an excellent place for networking and promoting the
idea of AALOA due to the mixture of both academic as well as
industry representatives.<br>
Moreover it is a meeting point for FLOSS in health care advocates.
So there is the opportunity to reach this community at Med-e-Tel.<br>
