The International Society for Computerized Electrocardiology is devoted to the advancement of electrocardiography through the application of computer methods. Its annual scientific conference brings together scientists, clinicians, engineers and policy makers working in the field. Since the conference is designed to stimulate the informal exchange of ideas and information, attendance is limited to approximately 135 participants and the meeting site is selected to be comfortable but somewhat secluded.

This year's conference will be held in Panama City Beach from April 23 to April 27. The preliminary program can be viewed at the conference web site, alongside registration information.

Our community came online just 5 days ago and already we have received a lot of attention. People from different backgrounds across the globe sent us emails full of positive energy and support. They all want this project to succeed.

At the same time, a lot of blogs have written about the project. All of these posts have been archived and can be accessed on our Iterasi page. We will continue to archive anything new written about the openECGproject, so you might want to visit this page from time to time.

Twitter is another place were we are gaining momentum. Exciting thing happened some hours ago when our project was mentioned in a tweet by Mr. Tim O'Reilly, the founder of O'Reilly Media. Tim is a great supporter of the free software and open source movements. You can visit his excellent O'Reilly radar blog to read the latest open source news.
