This week most of the OpenMRS developers converged on Durban, South Africa 
for our third annual conference. We combined with a few other informatics groups from South Africa that are part of HISA. There were almost 400 attendees and OpenMRS made up the majority of them, so I’m estimating we could have had somewhere close to 250 people at this conference. This is continuing our Moore’s Law -esque style of doubling every year. (Cape Town 2006 had around 75 implementers and Cape Town 2007 had 150.) I’m not sure how we’ll increase by as much for next year, but I’m pretty sure that’s what CPU designers have been saying every year for decades!
I managed to steal some bandwidth at the hotel at 2AM a few nights ago and posted my pictures from the safari to Hluhluwe that James Egg, Jacob Brauer, and I went on.
We’re sitting in the lounge in Johannesburg now (thanks Paul!), I promise to post a few more thoughts from the conference over the next few days.
(As a side note while I’m thinking about it: The new logo is really growing on me. Chris Seebregts made heavy use of it at the conference. He even made up some pretty slick black t-shirts using it that he gave away to all the attendees.)
