- New Thanks to all of our 2014 Supporters list. Because of you we will be making several upgrades to the SDVAN website. As a special gift to all those who list events on our site, our wonderful software designer Anand Bora from Determinant Studios in Bangalor, India has added the first of many improvements to the site. You can now add images to your events listing directly from your own computer easily. There is no longer a need to have the image online or enter any code. Try it out next time you enter an event. With the addition of an image, your event will be more eye catching and our site more delightful to use.
