Dear OSGeo Community, As most of you are likely aware there is a major natural disaster continuing to unfold in Pakistan due to major flooding. The Sahana Software Foundation is currently standing up an instance of Sahana Eden that is being used in support of the relief efforts in Pakistan at http://pakistan.sahanafoundation.org.
Sahana Eden is an open source rapid application development framework that is built on the Web2Py framework including a mapping portal that is built using OpenLayers and GeoExt. Sahana Eden works with open standards wherever possible. The Sahana Software Foundation is seeking volunteers to help with the following tasks: - Data Entry - OpenLayers/GeoExt Enhancements and Bug Fixing - Finding supporting data layers and services for the mapping portal, standing up OpenLayers accessible web services (WMS/KML/GeoRSS etc) where data is available but no services exist - Integration of MapFish or GeoServer Print Service - General Python development with Web2Py Volunteers will need to be patient and understand that our ability to help you help us may be limited by the work that our developers need to maintain in coordination with those who are using this portal for their responses. Further information about the Sahana Software Foundation Flood Response can be found at http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/Pakistan. Our current development needs can be found at http://eden.sahanafoundation.org/wiki/PakistanDevelopers. Those interested in assisting our efforts should sign up to the mailing list at http://groups.google.com/group/sahana-pakistan-2010. Our developers are coordinating our response on IRC on Freenode channel #sahana-eden, please join and introduce yourselves. Thank you, David Bitner Sahana Software Foundation Board of Directors *The Sahana Software Foundation mission is to help alleviate human suffering by giving emergency managers, disaster response professionals and communities access to the information that they need to better prepare for and respond to disasters through the development and promotion of free and open source software and open standards.*
