on page 24, i might have put the word "leaders" in quotation marks, rather than open source. ;) leader is such a dirty word these days. hehe.<br><br>anhyoo, it's encouraging to see it being aproached with an ontological view like that from within such organisations as the FDA, but still.... we cannot overlook page 2 which perhaps puts this into context more than any other page paragraph or phrase in the piece. the disclaimer.<br>

This is an interesting document (from a presentation) about the US FDA's<br>
position regarding the use of Open Source software and systems within<br>
regulated clinical (and other) trials - big business.<br>

</div></div></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>The Universe speaks in many languages, but only one voice. The language is not Narn, or Human, or Centauri, or Gaim or Minbari. It speaks in the language of hope; It speaks in the language of trust; It speaks in the language of strength, and the language of compassion. It is the language of the heart and the language of the soul. But always, it is the same voice. It is the voice of our ancestors, speaking through us, And the voice of our inheritors, waiting to be born. It is the small, still voice that says: We are one. No matter the blood; skin; world; star; We are one. No matter the pain; darkness; loss; fear; We are one. Here, gathered together in common cause. we agree to recognise this singular truth, and this singular rule: That we must be kind to one another, because each voice enriches us and ennobles us, and each voice lost diminishes us. We are the voice of the Universe, the soul of creation, the fire that will light the way to a better future. We are one.
