Dear Colleagues,
We are delighted here to inform you of some important new developments from the openEHR Foundation.
1) New web site: <http://www.openEHR.org>http://www.openEHR.org
The web site has been completely redeveloped. It now provides versioned access to all of the openEHR documents and software, significantly improved support material, FAQs, help for new visitors, and of course the community pages, discussion groups and news.
2) Formation of the Architectural Review Board: <http://www.openEHR.org/about_openehr/t_arb.htm>http://www.openEHR.org/about_openehr/t_arb.htm
The Foundation has formally appointed an openEHR Architectural Review Board (ARB), with 8 members, to review future changes proposed to openEHR specifications and software.
3) Adoption of the BitKeeper repository: <http://www.openEHR.org/FAQs/t_CM_FAQ.htm>http://www.openEHR.org/FAQs/t_CM_FAQ.htm\.
openEHR public materials have been moved to a web-accessible version control system called BitKeeper, enabling reliable access and collaborative development on software and documents.
4) Release of version 0.9
Version 0.9 of the openEHR specifications have been published, on this repository, and are available under the "Repositories" button on the openEHR home page menu.
You will receive the formal letter of announcement of these changes, and of welcome to the members of the Architecture Review Board, from Professor David Ingram, in a separate e-mail.
With best wishes,
Dipak
