Being introduced to Sahana was something that happened to me over an year back while working for my academic project, where I checked out Sahana and got to know about it.
With Google Summer of Code 2008 I got a chance to *actually* work and contribute ..
And while talking and working with guys at mukt.in, an idea popped up suddenly when krish said, “Hey AJuOnLiNE, why don’t you give a talk on Sahana“. I thought it was a great idea, but the event being in a different city and the dates of the event being quite some time ahead, I wasn’t really sure if I would be able to make it.
But then I had the Google Bangalore office meet up and I managed to extend my stay for mukt.in 
and not to mention the “You should go for it!!” I got from the Sahana main-dev list and my Sahana mentor, Fran!
So here I was giving a talk on Sahana to the students of Computer Science Department at Osmania University, Hyderabad and speakers from the FOSS Community, IT Professionals, people highly experienced than me and in short it was fun pHun!
mukt.in is a FOSS promotion event which attracts audiences who are Newbies, Students, Professional, FOSS Advocates [not lawyers ;-)] , and speakers from other FOSS Projects/communities… This year the venue was Computer Science Department, Osmania University, Hyderabad. It was a 3 Day event, 1-3 August, 2008.
My main agenda at the event was to showcase:
- what Sahana is
- how kOoL it is
- how it *has* been used in post-disaster situations
- how can people/community contribute to it..
