A lot of people ask “who do I talk to about joining X” or “what groups exist for Y” - this is a companion to the Tooling and Platforms guide, this time covering openEHR’s groups, boards, and cross-standard collaborations.
[!danger] Help me improve this guide - and spot the deliberate mistake!
I’ve deliberately left at least one mistake somewhere below - wrong name, wrong contact, wrong link, who knows. Please read it properly and tell me what needs fixing, along with anything else that’s missing or wrong: PM me, email admin@openehr.org, or just reply below.
