22nd VistA Community Meeting

The goal of VistA Community Meetings is for those involved in the VistA Community to network & collaborate, i.e., to share ideas and work, with the objective of moving VistA & the VistA community forward. VistA Community Meetings are highly interactive, hands-on, working meetings. Please come prepared to contribute as well as to learn.

This meeting will have a focus on the development effort towards certification and will include presentations by VistA domain experts from the VA discussing their current work an plans for the future.

There is also a track which will be attended by invited elite developers organized by Rick Marshall of the VistA Expertise Network that will focus for one day each on planning for the furture development of open source lab, fileman and kernel.

Compared to most meetings, VistA Community Meetings are relatively unstructured. The agenda is always a draft agenda, because attendees are free to change it – even during the meeting – in order to better meet their objectives. VistA Community Meetings were originally almost exclusively technical meetings. Over time, the balance shifted, so that although there is still a strong technical focus, there are increasingly discussions on other aspects, including implementation, support, demonstration, education, training, and WorldVistA organizational issues.

Please come prepared to discuss your interest in and work with VistA. If you wish to present material, please come prepared with your presentation, either electronic or a poster. There will be ample opportunities to present your work to others who are interested.
