The PortableApps.com Suite™ looks good >>>. It is "a collection of portable apps including a web browser, email client, office suite, calendar/scheduler, instant messaging client, antivirus, ... all preconfigured to work portably".
It has several versions, and can be installed to portables devices (such as USB/flash drives):
* Base: 0.7MB (download), 1MB (installed)
* Lite: 30.4MB (download), ~105MB (installed)
* Standard: 89.5MB (download), ~260MB (installed)
And it is all under Free / Open Source (Mozilla apps: MPL, Others: GPL) Licenses.
We'll post a review here when we've played with it a bit.

After medinfo2007
All too quickly, medinfo2007 has been and gone. Blogging from the event proved to be more challenging than we had expected - Internet access in Australia is nowhere near as cheap and readily available as we have come to expect in other places we have travelled to, or here in the UK.
CHIRAD members did contribute various blog posts, which can be found on Informaticopia and the hi-blogs.info blog. If anyone has additional comments, please feel free to add them to the existing posts. If you have photos you would like to share, then contact us about how to do this (ie, don't just email them to us).

The great trek to medinfo2007
The great trek to medinfo2007 has started. Some CHIRAD members set off on their journeys today, and others will be setting off over the next week or so.
We hope to blog here, and elsewhere, about the event and share experiences with those not fortunate enough to be able to get to medinfo2007. More later.

Open access developments
Two new developments today from the world of open access publishing:
- BioMed Central has introduced a new information portal calling attention to the developing world's need for open access to the scientific and medical literature. It can be accessed at: http://www.biomedcentral.com/developingcountries/
As part of the launch, BioMed Central is inviting researchers and others working in developing countries to share their stories about how open access to the online research literature is changing their work.
- BioMed Central has also created a custom button for the Google Toolbar, to make finding open access research from BioMed Central’s research even easier. See http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/about/toolbar/google
CHIRAD supports moves to develop open access and signed up early to the Budapest Open Access Initiative - http://www.soros.org/openaccess/
