Community
The FHIR community meets under the umbrella HL7 and draws on its extensive human resources, institutional memory, previous standards, international affiliates, and corporate and government support. HL7 itself owns FHIR and makes it freely available and the community relies on HL7-provided infrastructure. The community has a Code of Conduct that all participants are expected to adhere to.
The FHIR community gathers, meets, or communicates using the following infrastructure, provided by HL7 directly, or through the HL7 FHIR Foundation:
- http://chat.fhir.org - instant messaging-based FHIR support forum (Zulip!)
- the FHIR issue tracker for change requests and task management
- HL7 Confluence - recording informal documentation in support of the community
- and GitHub - source control
In addition, the community holds regular connectathons and meetings as part of the HL7 Working Group meetings. The formal governance arrangements that manage FHIR development are documented on HL7's Confluence site.
HL7 and the FHIR Community wish to thank the United States Office of the Assistant Secretary of Health (Technology and Policy) for their extensive support to the FHIR community for many years, and also to thank Google and the Zulip team for providing the cloud infrastructure the FHIR community uses.
