| | 5 | == Description == |
| | 6 | !SahanaPy is an example of HFOSS (Humanitarian FOSS). |
| | 7 | It is a RAD framework for developing Emergency Management applications. [http://sahana.lk Sahana] has been used to help support most major disasters since the Indian Ocean Tsunami including localised versions for floods in India (Bihar 2008 & Andhra Pradesh/Karnataka 2009). |
| | 8 | |
| | 9 | The core team will all be physically together in in one place for the week to really push our framework to the next level. We'll be extending a warm welcome to any Python/!JavaScript programmers who wish to join in throughout the week. |
| | 10 | We will be polishing up our back-end REST/XSLT-driven XML/JSON controller & developing new front-end UI tools - flexible layouts with advanced widgets (based on [http://extjs.com ExtJS] &/or [http://jquery.com jQuery] [http://datatables.net dataTables]/[http://www.appelsiini.net/projects/jeditable jEditable]) & Growl-like notifications generated programmatically by the easy to use, lightweight & powerful Web2Py. We'll also be looking at improving our GIS functionality using Javascript toolkits like [http://openlayers.org OpenLayers] & [http://geoext.org GeoExt]/[http://mapfish.org MapFish]. |
| | 11 | We'll also be fixing our Testing framework, based on [http://seleniumhq.org/ Selenium]. |
| | 12 | |
| | 13 | How will people benefit from attending? |
| | 14 | |
| | 15 | * Get acquainted with a new python web framework [http://web2py.com Web2Py] |
| | 16 | * Use advanced !JavaScript functionality |
| | 17 | * Get a sense of fulfilment from contributing to HFOSS |
| | 18 | |
| | 19 | == Audience, Pre-requisites == |
| | 20 | Participants should be familiar with Web technologies such as !JavaScript & Python Frameworks. [http://web2py.com Web2Py], [http://openlayers.org OpenLayers]/[http://geoext.org GeoExt]/[http://mapfish.org MapFish] &/or [http://seleniumhq.org/ Selenium] experience a plus. |
| | 21 | If people can get time to familiarise with the codebase before the session then this would be extremely helpful, but isn't required. |
| | 22 | If there are people with skills in Usability they are welcome even without programming skills. |
