 Dedicated to IMIA, the International Medical Informatics Association. Besides the honour to serve in IMIA during the last 15 years as Working Group Chair, as Board Member, as co-editor of the IMIA Yearbook and, now, as its President, I am grateful for the opportunity of meeting so many exceptional people at events of IMIA and of IMIA's member societies. The author has benefited much from their knowledge and insights during the course of countless discussions.
