Sorry I should have put more background in the topic about the document, apologies for any confusion caused. **This document is from a previous attempt to kick-start an openEHR Software Program** , in 2019. It was written by Thomas Beale (openEHR Foundation), Tony Shannon and Phil Barrett (Ripple Foundation).

I’ve included it here because it was posted in a different topic by @thomas.beale and I wanted it to have its own topic for discussion. There may be some useful nuggets of wisdom in here that ccan help to inform our current SPB.

To be clear, this document does not supersede or amend the SPB ToR which was shared here: [https://discourse.openehr.org/t/spb-documents-for-review/16888](https://discourse.openehr.org/t/spb-documents-for-review/16888) - I’ve included it for a perspective on past discussions.
