The Call for Code Initiative was created in 2018 by David Clark Cause and founding partner IBM, joined by United Nations Human Rights and the Linux Foundation. Participants build applications on open source–powered software, including Red Hat OpenShift®, IBM Cloud®, IBM Watson®, IBM Blockchain, atmospheric data from IBM’s Weather Company and resources from ecosystem partners. Winning teams of the Call for Code Global Challenge receive $200,000 and support from IBM Service Corps, technical experts and ecosystem partners to incubate their technology, open source their code and deploy their solution in communities around the world.
