Occupy Sandy

Occupy Wall Street community hare currently leveraging their community mobilisation skills on supporting the victims of Hurricane Sandy:

• Public site: ​http://interoccupy.net/occupysandy/
• Back-end site which they're looking to integrate Sahana into: ​https://sites.google.com/site/occupysandydocs/
• Sahana instances:
  • Production: ​http://helpny.sahanafoundation.org
  • Test: ​http://helpnytest.sahanafoundation.org
    • Can be used to test data imports and other training with dummy data
    • Can be used to test new code
    • Database refreshed from Production to test database migration during upgrades
  • Please only register if you are actively working on the project
• Code: Trunk with HelpNY template: ​https://github.com/flavour/eden/tree/master/private/templates/HelpNY
• User Guide for Requests & Inventory

Requirements

These should be written as User Stories: BluePrint/Guidelines

Raw:

• gDoc: ​https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZUiAiEozox5dZbgf3W_JK3CZMx0xfNNjg67bGb24-1M/edit
• Hackpad: ​https://hackpad.com/uWF14mmRQqy#Sahana-Sandy

Requests

Hub Dispatchers want to log Requests into the system

• Supplies (1st priority)
• Volunteers
• Assets (needs enabling/testing)

Should we start simple, by just enablign the 'Other' type of Request so that all the detail is in a free-text form?

• no need to fiddle with the item catalog

Inventory

Only a single process will be done:

• Daily Stock Take focussing on top 20-25 items & probably down to case level.

This will use the Stock Adjustment process, to which photos may be optionally added. A dropdown can be used for the Item Selector.

Historical reports can also be produced from these (probably reqwuiring a little work down the line)

Old Ideas

Simplify intake form?

• Hide CTN
• Hide Price per Pack
• Hide Status

Should we use simplified process for adding Stock? (i.e. direct access without going through stock adjustment. This is the current setting in HelpNY template)

• Also add ability to Send Shipment without having Stock yet added to Warehouse & record negative stock
  • This still allows accountability, so separate switch: inv.send_item_without_stock = True
  • /eden/inv/send/1/track_item currently has Item as a Dropdown from Warehouse Stock

Improve Item Selector

• Autocomplete+Add (nursix)
  • ​http://www.aliaspooryorik.com/blog/index.cfm/e/posts.details/post/adding-data-to-jquery-ui-autocomplete-342

Stock Reports should be visible to Public

• Transparency
• Make it clear what is NOT needed

Move Send_Item & Recv_Item to Inline Forms:

• Clearer UX when all on 1 page
• Less full-page refreshes when adding items
• However, the Item Selector here may take work

Volunteers

Registration process

Part of a wider BluePrint/UserManagement

Sign-up to 'Tasks' (Skills Requests)

Port from Give2LA branch?

• ​https://code.launchpad.net/~flavour/sahana-eden/la

'Sync' (Import/Export) volunteers between Sahana & CiviCRM

nursix looking at. Could use contact within Occupy

• ​http://projects.occupy.net/projects/owsoutreach
• CiviCRM Imports: ​http://book.civicrm.org/developer/current/techniques/imports/
• CiviCRM REST API: ​http://book.civicrm.org/developer/current/techniques/api/
• CiviCRM data model (out of date): ​http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC33/CiviCRM+data+architecture
• Sahana REST API: wiki:S3XRC/RESTfulAPI

Mapping

Hubs, Distribution Centers, Medical Clinics & Residential Buildings are all Types of org_facility.

This allows a common /map view & popup definitions.

• Types w diff Icons DONE
• Color-coding by whether they have an open / urgent request?
• OnHover tooltip to show description DONE
• Click to show Requests (custom popup representation) DONE

• Embeddable map in other websites (iframe with flexible size) DONE

• Sync data with Google Fusion Tables?

Recurring Requests

nursix looking at

e.g. 3 people needed to serve hot food at lunch and dinner at this location - repeats daily

• Simple UI to the Scheduler - like is done for Sync currently

Smartphone access to forms

Need to define exactly which forms & decide whether to write custom /m pages for these forms or else develop a Mobile Theme (autodetected vuia WURFL?)

• BluePrint/Mobile/Portal

SMS Communications

• ​http://occupysms.org/

Which Gateway?

• Twilio for Inbound?
• Clickatell for Outbound? (Who pays?)
• Local Bluetooth modem (not in the AWS datacenter!)
