Sahana wins the 2006 social benefit award
Free Software Foundation
has announced
the Sahana project as the winner of its Award for Projects of Social
Benefit.
"Sahana, an entirely volunteer effort to create technology for managing large-scale relief efforts, is the recipient of the 2006 Free Software Foundation Award for Projects of Social Benefit. Sahana was created, in the wake of the tsunami that devastated Southeast Asia in 2004, to compensate for the devastating consequences of a government attempt to manually manage the process of locating victims, distributing aid and coordinating volunteers."
