Hi, everyone,

I am really happy that we have so many productive discussions, meetings, ideas and deliverables in the last couple months. There is a new change that I need to tell you all here.

Now, Mozilla is having lots of different projects on-going and the resource and support from Mozilla is limited. Given the situation we are having now, I was told that this program needs to be a 100% community program.

From now on, I will keep working on this program as a community member, rather than a Mozilla employee. There are some logistic things to do. I will drive these to be done. We also need to move our regular meeting time. I am paying this program from my pocket, and I will also try to find sponsorship. If you can help on this, that would be awesome!

First of all, we need to rename this program *again* in order to prevent further confusion. Sorry about this. We could choose another good name from the following list:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_health_deities

Easy to pronounce, easy to memorize, and have good meaning would be something we can take into consideration. Can you help to nominate some good options? I am thinking the following options:
  • Heka
  • Iaso
  • Pinga
  • Ebisu
  • Haoma
Any other options? Thank you.



Cheers,
Kevin Hu

How about just IoMet? Internet of Medical Things. Simple and straight forward.

It sounds good to me. Or we can also add "open source" or "open" wording on it to indicate it's open source.

Any other proposals?

Hi,

IoMeT  - I liked this name suggested by Dr Tan Jit Seng. If we choose some biological name or from wiki, there is high chances that we will get conflicts in future and again name change at later stage of this project won't be good IMO. IoMeT might look general but it's meaningful and hardly it will create any conflict. Also, I guess name won't matter much if we get a successful product of it in future. 

Thanks

Hi

I agreed with Kumar that the name won't matter for the time being, though Dr Tan made a good suggestion. We can dig further and explore opportunities.

Best,

Ganesh

Great!

Then, let's call it "Open IoMeT". I will start to work on creating or renaming a new mailing list, creating new Github organization, and Wiki.

Thank you all!

Hello, everyone, 

I've renamed this group as "open-...@googlegroups.com". 
From now on, let's keep working on this project and communicate via this mailing group. Really sorry for all these changes recently. 


Cheers, 
Kevin Hu

For code name I would suggest to call it as iomet only. Which is short and pronounceable. And for the fashion I think we should make the "i" as lower case and don't use camel case.

Yeah, agree with greg. As far as code name is concern, iomet looks good. For other places like Presentation, Wiki etc 'open-IoMet' seems fine.

Thanks

Then, if no objection, I will create a repository named "iomet", all lower cases, for our source codes.

Developments in Wearable Technologies

The Wearable Technologies Show at Excel in London in March provided a fascinating insight into the latest developments in wearable technologies and gadgets that are beginning to become mainstream items across multiple sectors. I had anticipated that the majority of the event’s focus would be on fitness trackers but I was surprised and impressed by the wide range of devices and applications on display and being presented in all the seminar rooms. The application areas covered at the exhibition included :-

·       Internet of Things (IOT)

·       Augmented and Virtual Reality

·       Smart Homes and Connected Living

·       Healthcare and Digital Apps

·       Mobile Payments and Retail Apps

·       Smart Textiles and Sensors

·       Performance Sports and Fitness

In addition to the various panel discussions and keynote presentations, there was also an area for showing developers how to create apps using connected devices.

I have uploaded a collection of images from both the presentation sessions and the exhibition booths onto the GAETSS Flickr archived images at https://www.flickr.com/photos/davidwortley/albums/72157663675407963

What caught my eye in particular as trends to watch out for were the large number of exhibitors showing smart clothing or textiles with embedded sensors. The applications being developed around smart textiles not only included health tracking but also environmental sensing to enable smart adaptation of the clothing to specific conditions or events.
