Yash - hi. Glad to hear of your survey on course curriculum. Can you give us a sense of they types of organizations that provide these courses and if they are...
Hi Yash, I've copied this back to the Sahana distro list as I think carrying this conversation here will offer benefit (noting Louiqa has also replied) - I ...
Hi, We are pleased to announce that we just received a Garmin eTrex GPS device, courtesy of Gavin from New Zealand. This would definitely help out in our...
Hi, A quick question about the GIS schema implementation. In order to store coordinates, what data type is preferable? Do we stick to OGC's POINT or do we use...
Hi Pradeeper, I guess there are more sub-domains that were created after this. Can you summarize all the new sub-domains, and maybe we can have them on the ...
... +1 for dokument all the sub-domains we have. Here we go, http://cvs.sahana.lk/ http://download.sahana.lk/ http://task.sahana.lk/ http://bugs.sahana.lk/ ...
... Yes, this is a great help! Thanks Gavin ;-) Also, it would be great of somebody can donate one or two 2B1 machines for Sahana (also known as "One Laptop...
Not a problem! I look forward to seeing more support for GPS :) But I should note that it is not a donation from me, rather the New Zealand Recreational GPS...
From an implementation perspective, it may be a case of providing both default and advanced options... 1. Latitude/Longitude in WGS84 for default installations...
Hi all, Since this request has split a couple of ways now, I've got the following to offer. 1. Tertiary - a good place to get some idea about courses in the US...
Hi, ... What datatype is appropriate here? Are there any recommendations on usable types? ... However, the default database in Sahana, which is currently...
As a precursor - I agree with Brent :) ... Co-ordinates should be stored as -180-180, -90-90, 'ddd.ddddd' e.g. at least 5 decimal places of precision. WGS-84...
... Still that is a good point as we should possible be encouraging more universities and students to use Sahana as a platform for research. Through this the...
++1 for this. This would go hand in hand with the goal of secondary education for school students in disaster management. Additionally these machines are low...

... This looked like a really interesting course. I suggest that we try to interest some interns from sociology or public policy to put together some Sahana...
... Sure thing. +1. ... Will do. As soon as we arrive at a conclusion. Bear in mind though that the great FOSS projects have 'long-standing' threads ;) I'll...
It has been yet another great discussion on GIS! I think it is important that someone summarizes the conclusion to this discussion once we are done and then...
Hi, Start of mind dump: Since a lot of valuable discussion is going on regarding both the requirements level and the technical level of GIS for Sahana, which ...
Just had a thought! This is an ideal place to use our volunteer management module of Sahana. Possibly we can extend it a little bit to include a bit more...
... Hmmm, not bad. Assuming it allows for detailed descriptions, and on top of that, moderation queues which might be needed if someone plans to moderate...
... Nope. But I'm pleased to announce that there is a Sahana-general list too ;), which is purely for documentation, QA, and other general Sahana issues, which...
... Agreed. As a starter, I re-created the GIS Infrastructure document on the development wiki (http://wiki.sahana.lk). I also have created a category named...
Looks like a good start. BTW Mifan at 4am now in Sri Lanka it is well past your bed time and it is time for you to catch up on some beauty sleep ;-) ... -- ...
