This is an effort to meet face to face and perhaps work out some bugs, as we all know with software, there are bugs everywhere. You can find a listing of those registered here.
This is an open source project and the software can be downloaded here for developers. BD
The Health and Human Services Department will sponsor a “code-a-thon” Aug. 27 so open source programmers can meet to collaborate on ways to improve the CONNECT gateway, software that lets organizations access the Nationwide Health Information Network.
A code-a-thon is typically held by open source communities so that programmers can collaborate for a day or a weekend on writing code for specific high priority items for an open source project.
“The code-a-thon gives programmers an opportunity to meet face to face and get to know each other rather than simply just communicating by email,” said David Riley, the CONNECT program lead for the Federal Health Architecture (FHA) program in the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT.
At the code-a-thon, programmers will be able to write code to improve bug fixes, adapters, universal client applications, security and development tools in the CONNECT application. There will also be a discussion of ways to use the development tools more effectively, the status of security technical controls and new features available through CONNECT, including source code control and bug tracking.
