Maite Dear friends Maite It gives me the great pleasure of introduce to all of you. Mr. David Gonzalez Romero, Infomed Node Administrator in the Health System in Cuba. Maite He, will explain the evolution of free sofware and open source in the Telematic Net of web, Telematica de Salud in Cuba. Maite I would like to mention, that this project has been honored by the most prestigious Challenge Award Academy in the city of Stockholm, in Health category, for his Maite contribution to the global movement, for the benefit of knwoledge and information easy to reach anyone.It has great importance, because the of the way it's reach for it's use and in such low budget. Maite Now, here is Mr. David González (Samael) Maite First, I'd like to thank the fact that you've invited Maite to the Telematic Net of Health in Cuba to participate in the Umeet 2002 meeting. Maite Since some years, Infomed has come collaborating with Uninet in the development Maite of technical contact, professional and academic through the connferency by text Maite In the same way, when 2 years ago, it was the first UNIX congress in Uninet Maite it's come participating users of our net in it, besides of being this space Maite a link between people form all the world that access our irc net, now being Maite of one of the cogress that are taking part in the Free and Open source world. Maite Our conferency won't be a magistral lecture, nor a doctorate thesis. Maite The subject that attach us, sin't other that giving to know the Infomed's experiences in the Free and Open Source field. Maite First, we start saying that InfoMed is charged at nacianl level (Cuba) of supporting all the net infrastructure for the health sector and for all the nacional's Maite information system for the Public Health Ministery, with the purpose of raising the level of profesional scientifics. Also in the Maite same way students and other workers in the health sector are beneficiated. We want to say that Infomed has reached to the most distant geographies of the country, in a Maite try to reach to the rural doctor in the mountains, with the latest nes in the healt sector. Maite Now, what has to see Infomed with the Free Software? Maite A lot, because since the stat InfoMed assumed the free software style as work style. In 1992 under adverses economic conditions, the Maite idea of creating a telematic net to the health sector emerged. The scientific advances in this Maite field were huge and in a lot of regions in the planet prestigious institutions had yet Maite established their slid bases to make what InfoMedo wanted to make in CUba. In their starts Maite Infomed used propietary software, specifically Santa Cruz UNIX, but this was until 1994. In that Maite poch, it was decided to use Linux as the base system that suported all the net, they aren't a definition of what distribution was used first Slackware or Redhat, Maite but there was something that Infomed has decided: Live or die! Maite The use of free software in the InfoMed net was based in the following: Maite Usage of Linux as the net OS Maite Usage of apache as web server Maite Usage of PHP and Perl as script language in the web Maite Usage of Sendmail + imap-UW as mail solution Maite Usage of IMP as webmail solution Maite Usage of MySQL as database server Maite Usage of Mailman as lists server Maite Usage of Squid as proxy/cache server Maite Linux as the net OS Maite In 1994-95 the decision of using Linux as OS in the Ciudad de la Habana node is taken. In 1995 the national net is created, a server runnning linux in each province is constructed, a Maite multiport card and two modems to receive connections, 13 Linux servers in total. Today: Only between the net nodes there are 61 servers running Redhat Linux and the Maite experience has been extended to institute and hospital nodes Maite Apache, the most used web server in Internet Maite The apache usage is due to being a modern web server, that accomplish with the actual Internet Maite requeriments. Flexible, it allows the job with a wide variety of web extensions, script languages, data bases, etc. Robust, in needs a small number of hours/man in its administration Maite and manteinance. Efficient, it uses few system resources, it's capable of satisfacting all our needs in simple and modest hardware. Maite Sendmail + imap-UW, a mail solution Maite Why? It's what Redhat Linux has by default. To this moments, it has behaved well in our system where it exist a diary interchange of more than 65000 inbox mails and more than 30000 outbox, and some tens of thousand of telefonic mail calls between our Maite national net and the outside, where ~40000 more that are internal to the net. Maite Squid, an efficient proxy/cache web Maite It restricts the access only to health information. It allows a good optimization of the Internet links ¿results? 6 qyeries per second with 10 spikes and it continues growing. 4GB of information throught it daily 50% is served by the cache. Maite Open source tools, indispensable for Infomed. Maite he usage of Perl, PHP and MySQL are indispensable elements for the development of Maite different proyects in Infomed. Examples of that we have: Maite http://bvs.sld.cu/ - Virtual Library of Heath of Cuba Maite http://uvirtual.sld.cu/ - Virtual University of Health Maite Opensource services that Infomed gives Maite IMP, a webmail solution for our users Maite Htdig, search and indexing web engine Maite Webalizer, web stadistic generator Maite Mailman, lists server Maite Forum, Tool to create and administrate discussion forums Maite By another side infomed is who is at charge of hosting, mantaining and refreshing the Cuba Linux Site http://www.linux.cu, today un redesign phase. It supports the mail traffic of the discussion list for Linux Users of Cuba, 727 users and growing. It's Maite infomed too who is in charge of promoting the free software's use in the society. Today, some of their specialists impart courses, conferencies, and they promote the sahring in a real group of Linux users in La habana Province. Maite It's expected to work hardly to implement a course of Linux at user level, in the "Jovenes CLub de Computacion" (Youngs Club of Computation) (Institution promoter of the informatic knowledge in the island that has more than 350 copmutation rooms in all the country where people goes to learn, practice and develop their computation skills) Maite Infomed has today 7000 ppp users, almost 3000 users per each 150 uucp accounts and about 10000 in the rest of the country. The services have evolved in these 10 years Maite from only email to a virtual university and library health.
