On March 18, 2020, Joel Kallman sent
out a plea to the community Seek where you can
help. Now.
Recognizing that we are data scientists,
we specialize in collection and presentation of this data through our apps. We
also have a powerful arsenal of tools, with Oracle Application Express at it
core, to do this work quickly. In these times of CoVID-19 with
quarantines, self-distancing and the like, we might have some bandwidth to help
the cause.
If you are like me you have a number of
family and friends that are working on the front lines of this pandemic to stem
the flow of this virus, or you have people that are in a high
risk group for the virus.
I agree with Joel, and we should be
looking for ways to get information to the front that is timely, and useful,
most of all quick.
To this end I have started two apps one
I think will help with the virus mitigation the other is for us, or really any
developer looking to coordinate efforts. This effort is important
not just for now but for the next pandemic, hurricane, or any other event where
emergency management becomes critical.
PVP is just a simple registry app that
should give us an idea of the projects that are suggested or are in progress. Find
PVP HERE. Add
projects, give suggestions, or look for a team that needs resources. It’s
a fairly simplistic app but it should suffice for now.
I have recorded my other App
"EMMA" as both a functional and example record.
read Joel's original post for background
on the effort.
