Materials for the OPEN TALK: Commit to the Cause, Push for Change: Contributing to Call for Code Open Source Projects session at DeveloperWeek Virtual on February 18, 2020 https://www.developerweek.com/conference/ Daniel Krook IBM, Chief Technology Officer for the Call for Code Global Initiative Andres Meira Grillo, Founder & CEO Lakshyana K.C. Build Change, Technology Consultant Call for Code is a multi-year program that calls on developers to create practical, effective, and high-quality applications based on one or more IBM Cloud services (for example, web, mobile, data, analytics, AI, IoT, or weather) or Red Hat platforms (including OpenShift) to build a solution that can have an immediate and lasting impact on humanitarian issues as open source projects. In this session you'll learn more about the solutions built to tackle natural hazards, climate change, and the pandemic. What sets Call for Code apart from other technology-for-good competitions is the commitment to deploy the winning solutions with the IBM Service Corps and to help teams build sustainable open source communities through The Linux Foundation. Join us at this talk to hear about the most recent winning projects, get an update on previous year's progress, and learn about how to contribute to two projects directly from the developers.

Call for Code?

4. A five-year program created by David
Clark Cause with Founding Partner
IBM, and in partnership with United
Nations Human Rights and The Linux
Foundation, Call for Code features an
annual competition and is the largest
tech-for-good challenge of its kind.

create practical, effective, and high-
quality applications that can have an
immediate and lasting impact on
humanitarian issues as sustainable
open source projects.

The 2018 winner in action
Puerto Rico, March, October, December 2019
Project OWL has gone from winning Call for Code to implementing their
solution through the IBM Code and Response initiative and releasing the
ClusterDuck Protocol as a Linux Foundation project.
Their first field test focused on deployment of the DuckLink IoT network,
accessing it via mobile phones, and then observing data transmitting on
the network in the OWL Incident Management dashboard.
Organizations supporting the deployment included:
• ITDRC
• Engine-4
• University of Puerto Rico
• Johnson & Johnson
• Local government (San Juan, Bayamón, Isabela)
• IBM Service Corps

PROMETEO
Real-time and predictive
analysis of what firefighters
are exposed to in order to
improve health outcomes

integrates IBM Watson Studio,
Kubernetes, Node-RED, and
Cloudant on the IBM Cloud

22. Ten devices tested with real-time info sent to IBM Cloud and analyzed at base camp

23. Prometeo Controlled Burn
The 2019 winner in action
Barcelona, Spain – February 2020
This first field test with wildfire firefighters tested the capabilities of
Prometeo’s devices as well as their dashboard. Prometeo deeply tested
device and sensor functionality as well as the durability of the devices
on 10 volunteer firefighters. The team received key feedback on how
they could improve their solution and are moving on to the next of 3
additional milestones with the IBM Service Corps

24. Prometeo continues to iterate on its third gen platform

25. The IBM Service Corps team has completed its virtual deployment
+ Brandi Boatner
& Sam Davis

26. The Prometeo hardware and
software solution at a glance

27. The team delivered version 3
of the Prometeo Solution – A more robust microservices architecture deployed onto
the IBM Kubernetes Service (potentially deployable on
OpenShift)
– A new hardware device that incorporated February field
test feedback (self-enclosed, offline capable, safety orange,
with clip)
– A new analytics engine based on international standards for
toxin exposure over time (rather than just in real-time)
– A new Samsung-based mobile and watch app for sending
alerts back to the firefighter (rather than just one-way
readings to the command center)
– A larger ecosystem of manufacturing, incubator, hardware,
and firefighting organizations

Six Steps of Construction Value Chain

39. Challenges
• Insufficient access to safe construction
guidelines in developing countries,
especially informal neighborhoods
• Local construction labor often under-
trained in earthquake resistant practices
• Traditional construction supervision
becomes a complex task in areas with
high volume of construction sites or
scattered locations

40. Solution
• Make safe construction practices and
quality checks accessible to local
communities, builders, and local
authorities through a mobile app
• Deploy technologies such as AI & image
processing to help automate visual quality
checks on typical construction scenarios
• Enable scalability in other contexts by
integrating the local building types and
engineering through BIM modeling
