Webcast Recap: General Hugh Shelton
General Shelton first encountered open source software while serving on the USS Mount Whitney. After some problems with Microsoft's unchangeable, proprietary code not meeting his team's requirements, they found the right solution with open source software, which let them change the code as they needed. Many years later, in 2003, General Shelton was elected to serve as on the Red Hat board of directors and in 2010 was selected to serve as chairman of that board.

The New Computing Pioneers
It may no longer be fair to characterize large pharmaceutical firms as late adopters of information technology (IT). Having spent the past five years catching up to other industries in the deployment of enterprise software systems that link researchers and laboratories companywide, big drug firms are now starting to push data storage and processing onto the Internet to be managed for them by companies such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft on computers in undisclosed locations.

Regenerative Medicine & Health IT Systems
Introduction
Over the past decade I've written numerous articles about many of the health information technologies (IT) and systems needed to support traditional medicine and preventative medicine practices, e.g. EHR, PHR, and HIE systems. With the emergence of the relatively new field of regenerative medicine, what type of health IT systems are going to be needed?
The growing field of regenerative medicine already encompasses so many fields from stem cell research, genetics, tissue engineering, bioengineering, organic human nanostructures, limb reconstruction, transplantation, and life extension research. This doesn't include the supporting fields of computer science, artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, robotics, 3D imaging, and more. Regenerative medicine requires extensive collaboration between scientists working in all these various areas.

The U.S. military and researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are putting their heads together to help the military adopt more open source software.

President Kagame on Open Government in Rwanda
I have had the pleasure of chatting with President Kagame multiple times on Twitter as well as exchanging emails with him on his views around open government in Rwanda. His level of engagement is outstanding and I’m hopeful even more world leaders will model their behavior a bit more after his in terms of their use of Twitter.
