A
We
are
about
a
year
into
what
has
now
become
a
new
normal
covert.
19
has
had
a
significant
impact
around
the
world,
but
alongside
all
the
uncertainty
and
the
severity,
we
have
also
seen
a
heartwarming
and
inspiring
initiatives
by
a
global
and
eclectic
set
of
people.
You
know
be
it
scientists,
policy
makers,
government
officials,
concerned
citizens
or
developers
and
they've
all
been
working
together
at
a
feverish
phase.
To
help
alleviate
some
of
the
impact
of
this
pandemic.
B
B
And-
and
I
was
like
okay-
let
me
just
get
a
flight
ticket-
maybe
couple
weeks,
if
not
more,
but
then
that
turned
into
a
couple
months
and
then
even
longer-
and
now
it's
been
almost
exactly
a
year
that
I've
been
here
and
in
fact
I'm
going
to
go
back
in
about
10
days.
Finally,
I
got
the
flight
ticket
back,
but
but
so
when
I
came
came
here
for
the
first
time
I
was
doing
my
10-day
quarantine
period.
B
I
think
it
was
two
weeks
back
then,
as
soon
as
I
landed
and
my
uncle
who
runs
unifiers,
which
is
a
social
infrastructure
company
where
they
focus
on
you
know,
training
and
skilling
people
of
india.
He
came
to
me
and
he
said
you
know
it's
it,
there's
not
that
much
different
in
our
life.
You
know
we're
working
from
home.
We
live
in
air-conditioned
departments,
but
there
are
so
many
migrant
workers
out
there.
B
So
these
are
people
who
come
from
villages
and
smaller
cities
in
india
who
find
daily
labor
jobs,
where
you
know
they
earn
money
day
to
day
almost
like
hand
to
mouth,
and
now
that
there
is
a
nationwide
lockdown
in
place.
They
don't
have
work
anymore
and
because
of
the
lockdown
also
they
cannot
go
back
home.
So
they're
stuck
here
in
the
cities,
with
literally
no
idea
how
they're
gonna
feed
their
family
tonight
and
so
from
this
place
of
privilege.
B
Is
that
anything
that
we
can
do
and
we
you
know
for
me,
I'm
a
technology
entrepreneur.
My
whole
background
is
in
startups.
I've
been
building
companies
since
I
was
in
school
through
university
now,
and
so
for
me,
it's
always
like
okay
there's
a
problem,
I'm
gonna
build
an
app
for
that
right,
there's
always
a
technological
solution
in
mind,
but
of
course
you
you
have
to
kind
of
focus
on
the
real
grassroots
work
and,
and
so
how
we
started
is.
B
I
was
like:
okay,
let's
see
who's
in
my
friend
circle,
and
so
we
you
know,
we
built
a
dream
team,
almost
of
students
and
entrepreneurs,
professionals
and
corporates
startups
journalists,
just
volunteers
in
general,
and
we
decided
we're
going
to
get
on
a
zoom
call
every
morning
and
then
see
what
we
can
do
about
this.
So
I
started
with
building
just
a
github
organization
and
said:
okay,
let's
get
started
from
here.
So
let
me
quickly
share
my
screen
and
then
I'm
gonna
show
you
the
repo.
B
Yeah,
so
you
know
I
started
like
I
do
with
all
of
my
products
right.
Let's
just
build
a
github
organization
and
we
started
by
building
a
website
for
corona
2020.
This
is
our
website.
It's
a
pretty
simple
place
where
you
can
get
all
the
information
about
the
impact
about
all
the
data,
about
what
we're
working
on
right
now
and
and
like
you
already
said,
our,
we
decided
that
the
best
way
to
tackle
this
problem
is
to
build
a
dry
russian
kit.
B
Yeah,
I'd
love
to
tell
you
more
about
that.
In
fact,
I
want
to
tell
you
a
quick
story
first,
because
in
the
beginning
it
was
like.
I
said
it
was
a
zoom
call
and
a
bunch
of
volunteers,
and
we
would
just
have
this
big
google
sheet
where
we
would
just
have
all
of
the
data
coming
in.
You
know
what
are
the
donations
coming
in?
Where
are
we
buying
the
food
from?
How
do
we
assemble
the
kit
and
then
how
do
we
distribute
it?
B
B
So
just
imagine
a
donor
life
cycle
model
where
we
receive
information
about
a
new
donation
coming
in
and
then
we
would
say:
okay,
we
we
will
identify
the
donor,
we
would
move
it
to
a
column
which
is
ready
for
receipts
and
then
we
would
use,
for
example,
an
automated
github
actions
workflow,
which
would
generate
a
receipt.
So
let
me
actually
show
you
how
this
works
in
airtable,
which
is
the
client
we
use
to
make
this
work.
B
So,
for
example,
a
new
donation
comes
in
here
in
uncategorized
and
then
we
move
it
to
need
to
contact,
and
then
we
would
use
an
api
to
send
them
a
message.
We
would
contact
them
and
then,
when
we
move
this
card
to
ready
for
generating
receipt,
we
run
a
github
actions,
workflow
wayward,
which
runs
puppeteer,
which
is
a
headless
chromium.
Automation
tool,
which
generates
a
pdf
because
in
india,
for
example,
when
you
contribute
to
a
non-profit,
you
get
an
atg
tax
receipt
which
you
can
use
for
your
taxes
to
claim
that
as
a
deductible.
B
But
of
course
we
didn't
want
to
do
all
of
this
work
manually,
because
the
goal
was
all
of
the
manual
work
should
be
limited
to
focusing
on
real
grassroot
distributions.
So
then
we
move
it
move
it
and
then
that's
the
whole
how
the
system
works.
Another
good
example
is
distribution
because
we
use
the
same
logic.
We
fi
we
get
uncategorized
leads
from
people,
and
then
we
ask
them
to
make
a
list
or
phone
numbers
or
other
cards
so
that
we
can
know
that
it's
a
real
distribution.
B
So,
of
course,
this
is
a
privacy
issue
right,
so
we
decided
that
we
want
to
blur
their
faces,
at
least
so.
For
example,
this
is
a
real
photo
of
a
real
person
getting
our
kit
and
again
using
a
github
actions.
Workflow,
we
use
a
python
library
called
face,
blur
a
custom
version
of
it,
which
takes
all
of
these
photos
in
automatically
blurs
them
out
and
then
uploads
them
to
our
cdn.
B
So
we
created
a
github
repository
called
current
2020,
slash
open
data
because
we
wanted
to
make
sure
that
we
are
accountable
to
our
donors
and
everyone
gets
access
to
all
of
our
data,
so
how
it
works
is
literally
the
same
data
that
we
have
here
in
airtable
using
a
github
action
scheduled
workflow
shows
up
here
as
api
endpoints.
So,
for
example,
if
you
look
at
the
api
endpoint
for
donations.json,
you
can
literally
see
every
single
donation
where
it
came
from
who
gave
it
to
us
how?
B
How
much
was
it
for
and
the
same
with
distributions
and
so
on?
And
all
of
this
happens
completely
automatically
in
this
case,
using
a
github
actions
workflow
that
takes
data
from
airtable
and
then
generates
json
endpoints.
And
then
we
publish
this
entire
repository
on
a
github
pages
static
website
with
which
you
can
consume
these
api
endpoints.
So
everything
happens
automatically
and
that's
kind
of
a
little
bit
about
our
tech
with
the
github
actions,
workflows.
A
Thanks
anna,
that
makes
a
lot
of
sense.
It's
great,
to
see
this
level
of
transparency
and
authenticity.
That's
also
getting
built
in
you
know
into
the
system,
because
I
can
totally
see
how
that
will
build
the
trust
and
the
confidence
among
the
people
who
would
like
to
contribute
in
the
form
of
donations
and
and
really
see
their
their
money.
A
You
know
reaching
the
right
people
and,
and
really
it's
it's
wonderful,
to
see
that
github
actions
has
helped
you
to
automate
these
workflows,
and
you
know,
make
you
more
efficient
so
that
you're
able
to
focus
on
what
you
do
best
and
just
great
to
see
that.
So
what
do
you
see
as
some
of
the
next
set
of
challenges
ahead
and
and
how
can
the
community
contribute.
B
B
B
City-Wise
country-wide
state-wise
in
your
terminal.
So
so,
if
you're,
if
you're
a
developer,
you
don't
even
need
to
leave
your
terminal
to
get
up-to-date
statistics.
So
I
think
the
community
is
really
coming
together
and
you
know
people
it's
so
amazing
to
see
all
of
these
people
from
around
the
world
come
together
and
trying
to
contribute
to
open
source
and
make
sure
everyone
has
access
to
the
right
data.
B
Transparent
data
and
people
are
all
doing
this
from
their
homes
in
their
free
time
in
a
volunteer-led
effort,
and
so
I
think
really,
the
solution
to
all
of
these
challenges
are
finding.
You
know
honest
data
in
in
mitigating
the
pandemic,
with,
even
if
you
look
at
vaccination
data
is
all
of
these
volunteer
led
efforts
that
make
all
of
this
information
that
is
typically,
you
know,
gate
kept
and
and
make
it
open
source.
A
That
sounds
good,
great
and-
and
I
believe
you
mentioned
that
as
part
of
karuna
2020
as
well.
You
have
leveraged
certain
open
source
projects.
Like
you
talked
about
the
emergency
services,
maybe
you
can
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
that
experience.
You
know
consuming
and
building
on
top
of
somebody
else's
work,
and
also,
how
do
you
feel
about
you
know
from
the
work
that
you've
done?
Do
you
see
some
best
practices
emerging
for
non-profits?
B
B
So
we
we
it's
we're
really
building.
On
top
of
this
years
of
effort
by
other
open
source
people
and
and
like
you
said
with
non-profits,
usually
you
see
there's
a
lot
of
manual
work
like
I
gave
you
the
example
of
the
atg
tax
receipts.
People
usually
generate
these
by
hand
in
an
excel
document
and
then
export
it
as
a
pdf
and
then
send
it
to
people,
and
in
our
case
we
would
just
literally
have
an
a
table
record
that
we
got
a
donation
in.
B
We
would
manually,
verify
it
and
move
it
to
a
column,
and
then
everything
happens
automatically
that
we
use
an
api
to
send
them
a
message.
We
use
puppeteer
to
generate
a
pdf,
and
then
we
use
node
mailer
to
programmatically
email
it
to
them
as
an
attachment,
and
so
the
idea
was
why
stop
here
right?
We
are
just
volunteers
who,
for
example,
I
run
a
technology
company
in
switzerland.
B
We're
only
doing
this
in
our
free
time
as
a
weight
is
a
really
small
way
to
give
back,
but
there
are
real
non-profits
who
we
partnered,
with,
for
example,
for
the
distribution
who
are
doing
this
every
day
and
they've
been
doing
it
for
years.
So
how
can
we
kind
of
help
them
with
our
tech
to
take
it
forward
and
and
and
one
really
powerful
thing
we
did
here-
was
guides
so
on
our
website.
B
You
can
have
a
look
at
all
of
the
all
of
these
free
and
open
source
guides
that
we
have
written.
All
of
our
volunteers
have
contributed
to
these
and-
and
they
tell
us
about,
for
example,
the
face
blur
and
identity
protection
guide
where
you
can
read
how
why
do
we
want
to
do
this?
What
parts
of
a
face
should
we
redact
and
what
technology
do
we
use?
How
do
you
install
it?
How
do
you
use
it
and
so
on,
and
for
and
even
like
more
specific
things
like
are
russian
kid?
B
How
do
you
assemble
it?
What
should
go
in
each
kit?
How
do
you
package
it?
How
do
you
make
sure
the
people
who
are
distributing
them
are
always
safe
or
our
distribution
management
guide
about?
How
do
we
manage
distributions
our
donor
life
cycle
management
guide,
where
you
can
have
a
look
at?
How
do
we
get
people
to
fill
the
form
when
we
get
the
donation?
What
do
you
do
when
you
don't
know
who
a
donor
is?
How
do
you
offend
them?
B
So
the
idea
is,
we
wrote
all
of
these
in
markdown
format
and
put
them
in
our
github
repository,
and
you
can
have
a
look
at
all
of
these
and
you
can
and
literally
like
just
things
that
are
not
related
to
the
distribution.
For
example,
our
social
media
outreach
guide
tells
you
that
hey.
We
should
tell
all
of
the
people
who
have
donated
about
what
we're
working
on.
B
How
do
you
design
each
social
media
post,
and
we
made
a
little
template
with
you,
which
you
just
had
to
edit
with
the
new
distribution,
and
then
all
of
this
also
is
completely
automated.
So
whenever
we
receive
the
photos
of
a
distribution,
we
assign
it
a
social
media
outreach
card
also
linked
to
it.
B
The
second
quick
note
is
because
of
github's
powerful
platform,
we
use
github
actions
not
just
for
automating
things,
but
also
for
scheduling,
cron
jobs,
and
then
we
use
github
pages
to
deploy
our
website.
This
literally
means
that
we
don't
need
a
server.
We
have
no
digital
ocean,
droplet
or
whatever
ec2
instance,
because
the
idea
is
all
of
our
programmatic.
B
You
know
tooling
generation
build
time.
Stuff
is
happening
in
a
github
actions
workflow,
and
so
this
is
very
powerful,
because
if
you
have
an
open
source
repo,
you
get
unlimited
free
minutes,
which
means
all
of
the
other
non-profits
that
we
work
with,
can
get
all
of
these
great
systems
in
place
literally
completely
for
free
running
in
github
actions
workflow
rather
than
using.
B
You
know,
specific
servers
that
you
have
to
pay
for,
and
so
the
idea
was
that,
with
our
guides,
where
we've
thoroughly
documented
everything
that
we're
working
on
and
with
our
source
code,
we
don't
want
it
to
stop
here
that
we're
done
with
our
part.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
other
non-profits
and
other
people
can
build
on
top
of
it
and
then
make
sure
that
we
all
do
our
little
part
to
giving
back.
A
Makes
sense-
and
I
think
you,
you
highlighted
a
good
point
around
how
grab
actions
really
takes
away
a
lot
of
the
burden
of
you
know,
maintaining
servers
and
you
know
with
the
compute
being
with
github.
It
enables
people
to
quickly
be
able
to
really
put
their.
You
could
say
you
know
their
logic
into
action,
you
know,
and
so
so
that's
a
really
great
point
to
highlight,
and
so
so
you
know
a
lot
of
us,
you
know
we.
A
We
all
want
to
help
others
and
we
all
have
ideas
about
it
or
maybe
the
desire
to
help.
But
not
everyone
is
able
to
convert
that
into
into
action
and
any
words
of
advice
from
you
for
others.
You
know
who
who
who
really
wants
to
give
back,
and
you
know
you
know
what
does
it
take
to
really
take
that
the
first
critical
step
or
what
have
been
some
things
that
have
been
important
in
enabling
you
to
succeed
in
your
efforts.
B
B
Now
I
because
if
you
look
at
any
project
like
we
saw
already
in
github
satellite,
there
are
so
many
great
open
source
projects
that
all
started
as
a
tiny
idea,
and
you
want
to
build
it
into
an
open
source
product,
and
if
you
want
to
contribute
to
them,
it's
become
easier
than
ever
right.
There
are
so
many
great
guides
out
there
about.
B
But
the
second
part
is
really
about
the
the
distribution
and
the
manual
work
right.
You
can
give
your
time
away.
You
could
volunteer
to
projects,
but
I
think
you
know,
because
for
us
personally,
it's
it's
really
about
privilege
right.
It's
about
the
fact
that
we've
been
in
lockdown
for
a
year
now
and
and
not
much
has
changed.
You
know
I
I
go
to
work
every
day
from
my
laptop,
I
I
get
a
good
salary.
I
I
write
code.
B
I
contribute
to
open
source
projects,
but
there
are
so
many
not
just
tens
or
hundreds,
but
thousands
and
tens
of
thousands
of
people
out
there,
whose
experience
has
been
completely
different,
like
I
said
in
the
beginning,
migrant
workers
here
in
delhi
who
don't
know
how
they're
going
to
feed
their
family
tomorrow,
maybe
today,
but
just
because
the
entire
job
was
of
the
idea
that
every
day
we're
gonna
do
a
little
bit
of
work
on
a
little
bit
of
money.
And
then
somebody
takes
that
away
from
you.
B
B
Are
you
a
designer
or
a
teacher
or
a
student
or
an
engineer,
and
what
you
know
how
to
do,
and
how
can
you
use
those
tools
as
a
way
to
give
back,
and
I
do
your
little
part
right,
because
when
you're
talking
about
this
scale,
this
pandemic
and
so
many
people
who
we
can
do
something
for
and
who
we
should
have
empathy
for
every
little
bit
helps?
And
I
think
that's
why
you
know
I
started
by
saying
just
start
by
starting.
B
And
so
I
think
you
just
start
by
starting
look
at
what's
out
there
and
you
know
contact
people
see
how
you
can
make
your
first
pull
request
or
or
volunteer
or
give
a
little
and,
like
I
said
you
know,
we're
a
tiny
part
of
it,
but
every
part
really
counts,
and
so
you
know
I
would
say
you
shouldn't
be.
You
shouldn't,
feel
hesitated
at
all
just
start
by
starting.
Do
your
little
bit
and
then
see
you
know
what
kind
of
impact
it
can
do
for
us.
B
A
A
We
can
use
that
to
contribute
in
some
way
or
the
other,
and
today,
in
the
you
know,
in
the
world
we
have
platforms
like
github
that
make
it
so
much
easier
for
people
to
meet
with
other
other
people
in
the
community,
and
you
don't
necessarily
have
to
start
something
from
scratch.
You
can
join
an
existing
effort
because
something
that
you
do
can
contribute
and
add
value
and
really
it's
a
great
way
to
to
learn
and
share
and
along
the
way
to
do
some
good.
A
So
it's
this,
you
know
your
story.
Adam
has
been
very
inspiring
to
me
for
sure,
and
I
hope
that
it's
going
to
be
the
same
for
many
others,
a
great
opportunity
to
to
use
their
technical
abilities
or
whatever
are
their
core
competencies
and
you
know,
contribute
and
really
start
like
you
said
it
has
been
a
pleasure
talking
to
your
aunt.
Your
story.
