GNU Health: GNUHealthCon 2026 – XI Free Software and Social Medicine Conference
Planet GNU · · g3835869
Dear community The XI edition of GNUHealthCon will take place in Gran Canaria, Spain, this December 18th, and you are invited! Celebrating 20 years of Freedom and Equity in Healthcare This edition is special for us because we will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of the first GNU Solidario mission that took place in Santiago del Estero, Argentina in October 2006. That remote rural school, the teachers, the children and their families generated a profound inspirational impact on me, so deep that since then I have dedicated most of my life to the field Social Medicine. GNU Health is both a result of that experience, and the main channel to deliver freedom and dignity around the globe. In this edition, besides the technical and social talks, we will have the space to commemorate these 20 years. During these two decades we have gone through many things. We have many happy stories to share, but we also have sad ones, that made us learn and be more resilient. Stories of people from countries around the world that have conformed this wonderful community around GNU Solidario. Stories and experiences that have made GNU Health the leading Free/Libre Health and Hospital Information System. I want to personally invite all of you who has been part of this beautiful journey: The GNU community; hospitals and health institutions around the world that use GNU Health; sister projects (Tryton, Orthanc,..); national and regional governments that have adopted GNU Health; sponsors; the open science and academic communities; developers and core team members… you are all part of the success of the project and we have to celebrate this edition together. Pre-conference party GHCON2026 will be on Friday, December 18th in Gran Canaria. The night before we will have the pre-conference party. Most probably, the event will be in a hotel in the mountains, and the idea is to arrive to the hotel on Thursday 17th . We will update in our official Mastodon account. (look for #GHCon2026 hashtag) Please make sure you register ( https://www.gnuhealth.org/ghcon/2026/ ) so we can prepare de logistics. Looking forward to meeting personally all of you, and have a wonderful time in Gran Canaria! Love and happy hacking Luis
