Open Source Governance and the Rise of a New Open Health Movement

It's hard to tell if (or when) new open source foundations will appear and claim a leading role in healthcare. It would be interesting to see one created to scale an existing viable model, such as the one from Oroville Hospital using VistA. Or we could see OSEHRA shifting its focus and expanding its charter beyond just the US government space. Nevertheless, the successful foundation would keep a low barrier to entry for innovators, allowing them to incorporate and scale open source healthcare technologies into commercial products. Time will tell, but what's for certain is that we live in interesting times, and I am looking forward to massive innovation in healthcare in the near future. The time is ripe.

Open Source Governance: The Eclipse Model

Ian Skerrett | Open Source Delivers | October 16, 2012

Open source governance is a concept that is sometimes misunderstood or forgotten in new open source projects. Good open source governance can help maintain the long-term health of any open source community, and includes the process of writing down how decisions are made, rules of engagement for projects and how the rules can be changed in the future.

Open Source Software Is Transforming Healthcare

In the summer of 2022, the UK government and NHS England published its Open Source Policy, stating that open source technology is: Particularly suitable for use within the healthcare industry where, through active collaboration between IT suppliers and user/clinicians communities, solutions can be honed to maximise benefits to delivery of health and social care. The public statement by NHS England is just the latest development in a broader trend: The wholehearted embrace of open source software by the healthcare sector. And no wonder; open source presents myriad opportunities for this most complex of industries, with potential solutions across various sub-sectors. Yes, open source is now powering everything from medical wearables to healthcare human resource management.

Oracle Doesn't Want Java EE Any More

Paul Krill | InfoWorld | August 17, 2017

Oracle wants to end its leadership in the development of enterprise Java and is looking for an open source foundation to take on the role. The company said today that the upcoming Java EE (Enterprise Edition) 8 presents an opportunity to rethink how the platform is developed. Although development is done via open source with community participation, the current Oracle-led process is not seen agile, flexible, or open enough. ”We believe that moving Java EE technologies to an open source foundation may be the right next step, to adopt more agile processes, implement more flexible licensing and change the governance process,” Oracle said in a statement...

The Cyber Resilience Act Introduces Uncertainty And Risk Leaving Open Source Projects

What might happen if the uncertainty persists around who is held responsible under the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA)? The global Open Source community is averse to legal risks and generally lacks access to counsel, so it’s very possible offers of source code will simply be withdrawn rather than seeking to resolve the uncertainty. The CRA rightly addresses the need for commercial suppliers to protect their customers from exploits and cyber attacks. But legislators have exposed the open development of software itself to the regulations rather than just the for-profit use of Open Source artifacts in the marketplace. They are incorrectly assuming that Dirk Riehle’s terminology calling single-company projects “commercial Open Source” means it’s possible to use the “commerciality” of an application to distinguish single-company activity from community projects, and by using the concepts of proprietary software to then define boundaries.
