The American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) Fall conference will be held October 22nd-26th in Washington D.C. Hilton Towers.

An informal, un-official meeting of the minds will be held at a local watering hole after the business meeting, location to be announced at or after the meeting. There will be at least 9 presentations that have a keyword 'open source'. These will include two presentations on VistA: A demonstration by Brian Lord entitled 'A Practical Demonstration of VistA on the Open Source Software stack' at the Hilton Washington - Georgetown, Concourse Level 10/24/2005 1:45 PM - 3:15 PM as well as a panel discussion entitled 'Deployment of the VistA Free and Open Source EHR/EMR Software Stack' which will feature myself Bhaskar, Brian Lord and Dave Whitten to be held in the Hilton Washington - International Ballroom East, Concourse Level 10/25/2005 10:30 AM - 12:00 PM.

For additional reporting on AMIA2005 - including reports of non-free/libre/open source activities and events - we will be trying to provide some materials on Rod Ward's Informaticopia blog (see www.rodspace.co.uk/blog/blogger.html).

As the wireless Internet access is working OK (although range is a bit dodgy in some of the rooms), we may even be able to do some 'live' blogging from the AMIA Open Source Working Group business meeting.
