In this talk, we'll discuss how the open source community and GitHub have been working together to fight the impact COVID-19. During the pandemic, I moved back to India and helped start Karuna 2020, a nonprofit that distributed meals to thousands of migrant laborers and masks to frontline workers. My team and I ended up building an open source platform on top of GitHub Actions to track donations, volunteers, distributions, etc., and built a fully automated open source system to run the nonprofit.

In this session, participants will learn:

- How to use open source for good
- How to create a fully-automated pipeline using GitHub Actions, TypeScript and connect it to Airtable, Pupeteer, etc.
- How the open source community came together during Covid-19
- Open innovation and top Covid-19 tracking projects
