Call for Code Starter Kit | Build a COVID-19 community cooperation app
27Get started with the community cooperation starter kit here: http://ibm.biz/cfc-coopkit
You've probably started to hear the human stories around COVID-19: Those of people helping people. While governments around the world work to address this pandemic on a macro scale, developers have an opportunity to create critical solutions that will work at the community level to provide help where it's needed most. Technology can play a critical role in fostering community cooperation.
This starter kit will put developers on the road to creating a mobile application that enables community-based cooperation in times of crisis. The application addresses local needs around food, equipment, and other potentially scarce resources.
It would allow suppliers (such as a stores or community members who have goods they can sell, donate or distribute) to make people aware of what they have. On the receiving end, this app would allow consumers (or community organizations like hospitals and food banks) to locate where these supplies are and, if necessary, guide them to the appropriate locations to pick them up.
Developers can use this application as a launchpad for creating more complex applications that provide additional services using widely available open source tools.
