60. EN. Openhack to solve humanitarian challenges - Madeleine Serenhov

Madeleine Serenhov (Cyber Technology Specialist and the CO-Founder of openhack) is sharing the story about openhack which is a non-profit social company focusing on how Open Source can be used to solve humanitarian challenges of now and future cities. We are talking about why HackforSweden and openhack are not  becoming just one team to develop the future smart cities! and why there were so many digital Hackathons in last weeks! is it something cool and trendy to have or there is an aim behind these Hackathons!  The purpose behind openhack is to show people interested in programming how they can help to make a difference on both a local and global level with Open Source development as a main toolkit, as well as to show aid organisations, governmental agencies and social actors how tech-volunteers can be a vital part of their work. Openhack aims to create a platform for collaboration, where organisations and tech-volunteers can meet and exchange both ideas and knowledge.
