- The document discusses an extension being developed for the Sahana Eden disaster management system focused on tools for medium to large fair trade enterprises. - The initial use cases are based on the workflow of Ten Thousand Villages, a large fair trade organization, but targeting smaller organizations may be more realistic for an initial deployment. - Key prospective modules include artisan management, order management, supply chain management, and Gantt charts for order visualization. The artisan management module is currently in progress.

- 2. HiatusIn late October, I injured my back pretty severely I was:Absent from many classesVery behind in class workIn a lot of painUnable to put considerable work into this projectI am:Completing the bulk of this project over the winter breakMeeting with Prof. Moorthy once a week
- 3. RecapSahana Eden is:An HFOSS Disaster Management System Written in Python, and built on top of web2pyMy project is:An extension to Sahana Eden, leveraging their system and development communityBusiness tools targeted to medium to large scale fair trade enterprisesA set of Eden modules that can activated for this type of deployment
- 4. Ten Thousand Villages Workflow My initial use cases revolve around the workflow at TTV:TTV contacts organizations involved with unemployed or underemployed artisans around the worldThe two groups work collaboratively to gauge artisanal skills, and develop products that will be marketableThey must agree on a fair trade priceArtisans produce goods, and TTV sells them online, in stores, and through other sales
- 5. Why TTV?They are the only organization to get back to me despite multiple attempts at contactIt is a large and successful organizationThey are one of the founding members of the Fair Trade movement and exemplify successful FT work
- 6. Why Not TTV?Realistically, it’s unlikely TTV will be willing to try out the software once a stable release is put out until there are other usersUsing this workflow as a starting point, and trying some different avenues to get more information from other organizationsGoing to target some smaller organizations to see if one is willing to deploy a stable version
- 7. FeaturesProspective ModulesArtisan Management (In Progress)Artisans – contact information, skillset, availability, locationCan assign artisans to ordersOrder Management Orders – Contact information, order details (items, quantities), deadlinesItems – Description, required materials, required skills, etc.Possibly integrate simple tools for the producer/retailer collaborationGantt charts for order visualizationSupply Chain Management
