Jul 19, 2019 | The Call for Code 2019 Global Challenge final submission date is nearing. July 29 is fast approaching and now is the time to form your team and submit your solution for the chance to win $200,000 USD and help make a difference. In 2018, IBM launched Call for Code, a global challenge to developers to use their coding skills to solve global problems. Last month, IBM gave the challenge a new, much grander platform - the United Nations. Together, IBM and the UN held a "Solution Starter" hackathon meant to create open source "starter kits" that will, hopefully, lead to…

Jul 17, 2019 | When Project Owl won the Call for Code challenge last year, its CEO, Bryan Knouse, noted that the work didn't stop after they won the grand prize. In its first two years, Call for Code has helped bridge modern technologies with potentially life-saving solutions during and after natural disasters. The program also aims to empower developers - connecting them with resources and networks to help deploy their real world solutions through Code and Response. Only the top five teams win recognition and prizes, but what about the many other teams who accepted the challenge? Call for Code recognizes all of…
Jul 17, 2019 | We have seen that launching and scaling a startup continues to be a challenging journey for early-stage entrepreneurs, and we have all heard the statistics that a large number of startups fail. That’s why today, IBM announced the IBM Hyper Protect Accelerator Powered by IBM LinuxONE designed to build and scale the next generation of fintech and healthtech companies with solutions engineered to keep their sensitive data highly secured. Over four phases – call for entries, startup identification, an in-person workshop and ongoing mentorship - selected startups will work with IBM and our collaborators IBM Alpha Zone, Queen City Fintech,…
Jul 16, 2019 | As more companies adopt artifical intelligence (AI), placing machine learning (ML) models into the hands of developers is imperative. To that end, the Center for Open-Source Data & AI Technologies (CODAIT) launched IBM Model Asset eXchange (MAX) in 2018 to help data scientists and developers easily discover ready-to-use free and open source machine learning and deep learning models. Today at OSCON 2019, we announced the launch of the IBM Data Asset eXchange (DAX), an online hub for developers and data scientists to find carefully curated free and open datasets under open data licenses. Developers adopting ML models need open data…
Jul 16, 2019 | As companies modernize their infrastructure and adopt a hybrid cloud strategy, they're increasingly turning to Kubernetes and containers. Choosing the right technology for building cloud-native apps and gaining the knowledge you need to effectively adopt Kubernetes is difficult. On top of that, enabling architects, developers, and operations to work together easily, while having their individual requirements met, is an additional challenge when moving to cloud. To lower the barrier of entry for developers to use Kubernetes and to bring together different disciplines, IBM created new open source projects that make it faster and easier for you to develop and deploy…
Jul 15, 2019 | Here in Australia, we have all grown up seeing the devastating effects of natural disasters. We have also seen how organizations, like the Country Fire Association (CFA) and The Australian Red Cross give hope to affected victims through their recovery efforts. Personally, the one thing that I love about programs like Call for Code is the way it brings together developers, designers, and digital enthusiasts with the intention of building solutions for organizations that do amazing work during times of need. With its inaugural launch last year, Call for Code definitely achieved this and certainly inspired developers all over the…
Jul 12, 2019 | Data is fueling today's digital transformation, but only 15% of organizations get what they need from their data. And 87% of them will reevaluate or adopt a fast data analytics strategy within the next two years to better achieve their goals. (Read the study conducted by Forrester). On the path to transforming your organization to be AI enabled, you need to have a prescriptive approach to accelerating your journey. Read more about 'How to Scale the AI Ladder' in the Daniel Hernandez blog that talks about the following 5 steps to get to AI: Modernize all your data estates in…
Jul 09, 2019 | OSCON 2019 is almost here (July 15 - 18, 2019), and it's going to be a great conference. From our "coding for good" events to book signings to a 5K and all the open source talks in between — we're excited to connect with you. A few of our key labs, talks, and meetups are about machine learning, data science, and AI with Watson and TensorFlow, blockchain, natural language processing in Python, Kubernetes, serverless, LinuxONE, and more. Come see these technologies in action, chat with the developers who built the tech, and see how you can contribute in an open…
Jul 09, 2019 | This is an exciting day for IBM, for Red Hat, for my colleagues throughout the developer community and for me personally. Rooted in a mutual passion for open technology, IBM and Red Hat are expanding their 20-year partnership to amplify the value of open source and the role developers play in this ecosystem. From Linux to Kubernetes, Red Hat is a leader in open source. By collaborating with technical leaders, open source advocates, developers and partners, Red Hat has made Red Hat Enterprise Linux a leading open source platform for business. IBM's commitment to open source is similarly longstanding, dating…
