Registration is required, and remote seats are still available.

O’Reilly Media Editor Calls Indivo-SMART-i2b2 Trio a Powerful Combination

Among the attendees of last week’s Indivo conference was Andy Oram, who writes regularly about the societal effects of Internet policy and technical innovation. His piece in the O’Reilly Radar summarizes Monday’s talks and explains the significance of the “historical” SMART-enabled Indivo v2 release. It also mentions Tuesday’s hackathon, shown below, where developers tried their hands at app creation and integration.
