Deployment process
The Call for Code Global Challenge is where life-changing ideas are created and built by developers. Call for Code winning solutions are deployed with support from IBM and partners like The Linux Foundation, Arrow Electronics, and more. During the deployment period, teams receive hands-on support to fortify, test, and implement their project, with an emphasis on open source principles.
