Haiti Emergency Response: 2010 Earthquake

Background:

• ​http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Haiti_earthquake

• Instances:
  • Prod: ​http://haiti.sahanafoundation.org
  • Dev: ​http://haiti-orgsdev.sahanafoundation.org/

Code:

• Branch: ​https://code.launchpad.net/sahana/haiti-quake-2010

  bzr branch lp:sahana/haiti-quake-2010 haiti
  

• If you are getting a "Invalid Request" error when you try to run the application, try renaming the folder to "haiti" (no hyphen) and retrying: ​http://127.0.0.1:8000/haiti

We have a few development strands:

• Organisation Registry (Who, What, Where)

• Request Management System

• GIS

• Missing Persons Registry/Disaster Victim Identification

• ​Translations
  • ​Creole
  • ​French
    • Cross-merge the ​PHP French localisation?

• Migrating data from Live to Dev for better testing
  • CSV (beware DB locks!)

    python web2py.py -S prod -M
    db.export_to_csv_file(open('db.csv','wb'))
    Ctrl+D
    python web2py.py -S dev -M
    db.import_from_csv_file(open('db.csv','rb'))
    db.commit()
    Ctrl+D
    

  • Web services (better to avoid locks)
    • Currently needs to be done resource by resource (JOINed tables can be done together as Components of main resource)
      • need to do referenced tables before the tables which refer to them
      • migrate the locations first (using the xml interface), you can later migrate the orgs and offices together (through Component JOIN)
    • Ideally we want to develop a way of having all tables loaded together into RAM, refs fixed-up & then imported to db together

• Convert Server to MySQL (Dan)
