So glad to be part of this team. I spent the last 2 weeks frustrated, demoralised, useless, that there's a crisis going on out there and the best thing I can do to help is stay home and play video games.
Then the hackathon came along and there were so many generic ideas.. like self-diagnosis apps, comfort networking etc, many of which have been done before.
And then I see Paschalis' idea and immediately I was impressed. The voluntary 3D printing of PPE and medical parts was a whole side to this crisis I was oblivious to, and it was clear those volunteers needed help organising the logistics. I've just spent the last 2 years working for a start-up which helps provide procurement and logistics for the construction industry, so feeling right at home in this project, and for the first time in my life feel like I'm doing something humanitarian, rather than just coding for food.
I'm also happy for the team I have. Given the circumstances around not being able to physically meet and collaborate team-mates who 48 hours ago were complete strangers, it seems to be working so well. I'm looking forward to being able to share some rum 'n cokes with them once this all blows over!
