Intrahealth had a great idea:
Global non-profit IntraHealth International sees the use of open source technologies in medicine as a revolutionary step towards better health care in Africa and other developing regions. To that end, they have created IntraHealth OPEN. In much the same way that a musical piece benefits from collaboration and a sharing of ideas, IntraHealth believes that open source technologies can create better medical systems that will save lives.
First up – a Youssou N’Dour remix album. I loves me some Youssou, so I couldn’t resist downloading the stems and throwing them around, and neither could several other people. This lead me to discover that there are about 3 million open remix competitions floating around the net, which means hours of fun beat juggling. Now it’s judgement week – all the entries are up at the Intrahealth OPEN Remix competition, so why not pay them a visit and vote for your favourite entry?
If you want to give Youssou a helping hand with his budding music career, you should probably vote for the Black Mountain Re-Installation. Okay, so we’re languishing in 64th place at the moment, but it’s not as bad as it appears, so Vote Black Mountain! This is a bass-heavy rubadub, and in order to get the full health benefits of the remix, your computer will need to have some decent speakers…
