   4. What I like about Sahana is how it is helping to communities in disaster areas. I truly believe the software they have would have been beneficial with alerting communities such as Joplin, MO (hit by a tornado). It was a scramble to get resources to them on time. Even months after it was difficult. The efforts from Sahana are priceless. Especially since real-time news/weather warnings are not real-time. (MeilaniConley, 21:36:53)
   5. they are typically 7 minutes behind. (MeilaniConley, 21:37:07)

   7. For OpenMRS - I used to work for a healthcare IT company and a lot of the ideas and passion behind helping others marries well with the concepts and software provided by OpenMRS. I had never heard of it before this and it would be crucial to communities our school helps internationally. We have PT students that travel to different countries to offer healthcare.
