I know a few of these things have been floating around. It's a worthy cause.. read it if you're interested, otherwise.. disregard. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Massimo Di Pierro <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Jan 15, 2010 at 3:19 PM Subject: [DLC]about Haiti To: DePaul Linux Community - Discuss <[email protected]> Sahana is the leading Open Source Disaster Management system, conceived during the 2004 Sri Lanka tsunami<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2004_Indian_Ocean_earthquake>. The system was developed to help manage the disaster and was deployed by the Sri Lankan government's Center of National Operations (CNO), which included the Center of Humanitarian Agencies (CHA). A second round of funding was provided by the Swedish International Development Agency (SIDA). The project has now grown to become globally recognized, with deployments in many other disasters such as the Asian Quake in Pakistan (2005), Southern Leyte Mudslide Disaster in Philippines (2006) and the Jogjarkata Earthquake in Indonesia (2006). Sahanapy is the next generation of the software. [from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahana_FOSS_Disaster_Management_System] The developers are in talks with US State Department, Search & RescueTeams, UN, Haiti Foreign office in order to provide free Disaster Management Support to Haiti. They need Python programmers and people to do data entry. This is one of the many requests for help that circulate: http://groups.google.com/group/michipug/browse_thread/thread/e3e7700e7970059 You can read more about the Haiti Emergency response here: http://sahanapy.org/wiki/Haiti If you want to help please contact them directly. I offer to provide some training about the software if needed.
