I just want to second that the Sahana crew is great. They are interested in collaborating between the OSM Humanitarian tagging scheme and Sahana. The idea being to bridge between the two systems to utilize Sahana to track things that wouldn't be put in OSM (things like people for example).
RELIEF is a quarterly exercise in the U.S. were different projects get together to collaborate. This was discussed and worked on at the previous one a couple months ago.
