Agasti - Vesuvius Products and Projects

The Vesuvius Trunk

What is Vesuvius?

Vesuvius continues a lineage from Sahana Krakatoa. This effort is mainly concerned with improving family reunification and administrative capabilities, developing a robust code base, and exploring mobile technologies. The project is driven by international responses such as the Haitian earthquake of 2010, and US-hospital-focused triage needs.

For Developers Seeking Access or Considering Being a Contributor to Vesuvius

Source code for Vesuvius 0.9.x development may be found as the:

  • The latest “packaged” trunk release, 0.9.2, for which a manual installation document (though no installer) is provided.
  • The trunk itself, which has code commits substantially beyond the package.
  • The full set of branches in the Launchpad/Vesuvius repository, e.g., comprising additional experimental or student modules, not integrated into the trunk at this time.

Sources for updates include:

  • occasional selected code pushes from NLM's People Locator project; the code is appropriately spread amongst the various Bazaar branches.
  • Sahana Google Summer of Code student branches.
  • New efforts from Virtusa, Inc. and other potential contributors.
