Richard Stallman ne voulait pas changer le monde. Il ne voulait pas se battre contre les moulins à vent. Il ne voulait pas réinventer la roue. Richard Stallman voulait simplement retrouver ses amis, sa communauté.

Et, pour cela, il a créé il y’a 40 ans le projet GNU.

The greatest threat to the development of free and open-source software in the academic world? Scientists using such software in their research, but not appropriately citing the software in their publications.

@IsaDecoster @sjodogne Welcome! We are extremely happy about the news of #Orthanc becoming a Digital Public Good. Now the duet GNUHealth + Orthanc is more ready than ever for Europe, whenever Europe is ready for collaborative, #OpenScience and privacy oriented health informatics. #eHealth #PublicHealth #SocialMedicine ❤️ @EU_Commission

Le #logiciel libre et #opensource Orthanc, dirigé par @sjodogne chargé de cours à l'#UCLouvain, vient de recevoir le label #DigitalPublicGoods soutenu par l’ONU. Une première pour un outil numérique belge !
Le logiciel Orthanc favorise la collecte et le partage d’images médicales, au profit des patient·es, des institutions hospitalières et de l’industrie. #medicalimaging #ia

the University Hospital of Liège, I publicly released the first version of Orthanc (that was known as Palantir at that time).
