2012-06-12 Board Minutes

posted 25 Jun 2012, 19:49 by Sam Heard   [ updated 26 Jun 2012, 07:04 ]

The openEHR Board met on the evening of 12th June by teleconference. The Foundation is moving to an operating non-profit which is a substantial undertaking. We plan to rely on UCL Business to provide our administrative support and ensure we meet all operational standards. Key announcements include:
  • The go ahead for the Specifications and Localisation Programs as key operational units
  • The preferred Archetype licensing is CC-BY on the understanding that any site publishing archetypes using the openEHR Trademark will undertake to operate according to a set of conditions that will ensure there is no restriction on people using the artefacts in software or require payment to use the artefacts. We will ask SBIS Brazil for their views on this approach.
  •  A face-to-face meeting in London over 3 days 10th-12th September 2012. Plans are underway.

The minutes are provided here:
