OK its the VA, they want to update there old healthcare management software from the 1970s. I guess there was a try at it before, but 170 mill later it was canned. So…they are looking to the opensource community to help. This would be a great software project, but….knowing the government, and replacing 40 years worth of stuff won’t be easy.
