Hi!

I found that somebody had registered openEHR as organisation name on  
Github, good!  
[https://github.com/openEHR](https://github.com/openEHR)

Now I just wonder who is the admin since the site does not say it.

I know that I hinted to Tom a long time ago that it would be worth  
getting the org name reserved there, are you the admin Tom?

Perhaps we could try to get several openEHR projects connected to the  
organisation account (after some discussion first of course).

Best regards,

P.s. Software interested tech-list subscribers, make sure you are also

...since that is where the "software program" of openEHR is going to  
host discussion according to board decisions.

yep, it’s me, I forgot to set anything up. For the moment I am sole member and admin. We might need a little bit of planning about how to use the openEHR space I think - I am just thinking of how to make sure we have a fairly comprehensible (to outsiders) Github presence, while of course allowing open use.

Once the software group gets a plan together, let me know and I will add some other admins etc.

Excellent. I was just thinking yesterday that as well as regularly  
outputting CKM to a Git repository, we also ought to bring together  
other legacy material e.g the NHS and any other artefacts people want  
to share e.g some of the vendor-developed archetypes that I have been  
working on but which are very suitable for wider use.

We will need to clearly differentiate repositories which are inert,  
from those which are active but uncontrolled, and those which are  
tightly governed - the latter will not really exist until we have  
proper namespacing established.

As far as the openEHR CKM repository is concerned, given current  
development schedules, an automated update to Github is unlikely to  
appear any time soon but I will commit to doing so manually on a  
regular basis or when any significant changes occur e.g new uploads or  
publications.

Hi all,

GitHub is very good site to incubate source codes.  
Anyone can fork source codes, commit and merge them.  
As Ian mentioned, I have thought GitHub could be a incubation  
repository for archetypes, which were premature than CKM repository.  
However, license issue must be fixed to do, at first. Apache 2.0 license  
is very good.

Best regards,  
Shinji
