The Great Dream …

    This post is my dream .. or has been for about 4 years.

A day that my hospital runs on full Open Source Software.

First a little about me. I am a practicing Paediatric Orthopaedic and
Spine Surgeon. I am a Open Source enthusiast. I started using Linux 6
years ago and for past 4 year I am using it almost exclusively at work
and home. The only time I use Windows is for the odd gaming. I do
Python programming – web & desktop.

I dreamed that the hospital will implement an all Open Source
Solution. I advised them likewise.

Thanks for our young kid Kumaran (http://www.kums.in) for support and
Dr. Easwar T.R. for the great efforts.
