coronavirus hackathons: less efforts, more lives saved

The pandemic results in unprecedented collaborations. In March, 60+ hackathons were organized. The biggest rallied 18000 people, creating 1200 projects in 4 days.

To ensure these efforts save lives, we need to cooperate beyond events / projects. Example: how to ensure people in all countries can locally produce one ventilation machine, from the 65+ open versions 3 being build?

This presentation proposes new ways of working together, so that everyone will be able to afford a healthy and decent life.
