Dear all,

I would like to ask for your contributions for a session related to Open 
Source software in the context of Ambient Assisted Living.
The session will be part of the FLOSS in health care track of Med-e-Tel 
<http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_program&page=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care_2011>.
Med-e-Tel has extended the deadline 
<http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_program&page=call_for_abstracts> 
for submissions until 10th of January 2011. If you would like to submit 
an abstract for a paper you have to
submit your abstract until this deadline.
It is also possible to organize a discussion session without formally 
submitting a paper. If you would just like to be part of this session 
please contact me

*About Med-e-Tel:*
Med-e-Tel is an annual event organized by the International Society for 
Telemedicine and eHealth (ISfTeH) <http://www.isft.ne> an NGO in 
official relation to the WHO.
Med-e-Tel <http://www.medetel.lu> is now in it's 9th edition and 
attracts around 600 participants from more than 50 countries. There are 
also strong links to the WHO and the European Commission. Usually there 
is a representative of the EC at the conference.
The conference itself consists of an industry exposition (telemedicine 
and eHealth) and an educational track. For more information you may 
visit the website <http://www.medetel.eu>. All papers and presentations 
from the past years are available online 
<http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=knowledge_resources&page=info>.
The FLOSS in health care track 
<http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_program&page=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care> 
was initiated this year. The track had 23 speakers, 1 keynote 
presentation and 1 panel discussion.
Next year we will continue with the FLOSS track. Please find the call 
for participation here 
<http://www.medetel.lu/index.php?rub=educational_program&page=benefits_of_open_source_software_in_health_care_2011>.

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.
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.

Best regards,
Thomas
