Sahana 2009 – 1st Annual SAHANA Conference
The Free and Open Source Software Community of Sri Lanka [FOSS.LK] is hosting the 1st Annual SAHANA Conference on March 24 & 25, 2009. In its inaugural year, the conference will provide opportunities for anyone involved in Disaster/Emergency management to network and share best practices with each other.
The conference is aptly named SAHANA, meaning “Relief” in Sinhala which is an official language of Sri Lanka, and is named after the “SAHANA Disaster Management System“.
The event will also be followed by a BarCamp on March 26, 2009.
