What do you see as the long-term future of the OpenVPMS open source project?

The founders of OpenVPMS believe its open source projects could eventually be used as a standard software foundation for the majority of Veterinary software products used globally. Having an industry standard for data storage would serve vets and our industry equally. This imperative has already been realised and is being acted on, in other health industries.

We would eventually like to see the OpenVPMS kernel owned and controlled by an independent industry body rather than OpenVPMS. The founders of OpenVPMS still see themselves taking an active role in this body. Indeed the majority of them will still rely on its products! Our aim is to achieve this transfer of control within a period of 3-5 years.
