Award for Open Source Application for Analysing Health Data

,----[ Quote ]
| Health Atlas Ireland, an Open Source application to analyse health related 
| datasets using geographical information systems (GIS) and statistical 
| software, was one of twenty projects that were given the 'Prime Minister 
| Public Service Excellence Award'. The awards were handed out last month by 
| Irish Prime Minister Bertie Ahern.    
| 
| Health Atlas Ireland is based on the Open Source content management system 
| Plone and the Open Source application server Zope. It was selected for the 
| Award because of its capacity to innovate and its technical perfection, 
| writes Zeapartners, a network of companies involved in Plone and Zope. "This 
| innovative Irish project greatly improves the quality and the efficiency of 
| services delivered by health services."

Everything appears to be moving in this direction. Proprietary software becomes
