12 The 13th Libre Software Meeting (LSM) takes place in Geneva,
13 Switzerland, July 7-12 2012 (http://2012.rmll.info/).
14
15 LSM is an annual non-commercial conference on Libre Softwares that
16 includes round tables and practical workshops. The objective is
17 to provide a place where users, developers and promoters of Libre
18 Software can exchange ideas and information. Attendance is free and
19 open to everyone. 
20
21 Each year the health & accessibility workshop is held as part of
22 this broader meeting. This year, it will be organized around 3
23 major fields:
24
25 - Accessibility, autonomy and dependency management (mobile/web
26 accessibility, accessible desktop applications, usability, ...)
27
28 - Hospital information system & Tele-health (EHR, telemedicine systems,
29 workflow solutions, PACS, HL7, ...)
30
31 - Imaging & visualization of medical data (CAS, CAD, bio-imaging,
32 image acquisition/processing/segmentation/registration, simulation,
33 organ tracking ...)
34 We invite presentations that address these major fields.
35
36 The LSM committee aims to disseminate and improve Libre projects
37 in the health and accessibility domains through this workshop. To
38 better target the various exchanges that will be taking place, the
39 programme committee of the health & accessibility workshop proposes
40 several kinds of meetings:
41
42 - "Solution" meetings, with conferences  and round tables to present
43 solutions dedicated to previous areas.
44
45 - "State of the art" conferences between practitioners, developers,
46 scientists and users to discuss about what exists according to the
47 specific needs of users, what works well or a little less well,
48 to talk about approaches...
49
50 - "Technical" presentations between developers and scientists. This
51 will allow initiation of exchanges between communities that do not
52 necessarily have the opportunity to meet and will maybe lead to new
53 collaborations or projects.
54
55 Finally, a workshop area will be available to try out and exchange
56 tools presented by their authors or by seasoned users of those
57 solutions.

62 ITK, joomla kaekus, odt2braille, OpenStreetMap, OsiriX, typo3, ubuntu,
63 VTK, WEASIS, wordpress, ...
