 Thank you. This is my first visit to Brisbane and what an occasion I'm getting a Drupal South community here. I'm from the GovHack community and I am now part of this community. So this keynote mainly I'll be talking about like how the open source is helping Hackathon to promote innovation mostly from GovHack site. To start with just to give a bit of brief introduction about myself as the introducer already introduced myself. I am actually a solution architect from the Department of Premier and Cabinet have been in South Australian government for around 10 years but I am representing GovHack here today. I'm the board director of GovHack and the data lead for the national team. Also a little bit of what I have done in the last many years. Winner finalist and semi-finalist of many hackathons like Australian E-Challenge, Peachette Palace, Blockchain Innovation Challenge back in 2019, Traya Data International Challenge, Telesta Innovation Challenge, Sieg-Foxity and many more. I couldn't list them all. It will cover like multiple slides. So I'm pretty much very habituate with the hackathol world and that mainly brought me here that involved me with GovHack. I also am alumni of Carnegie Mellon University and the founder institute back in US. So it's gonna be a little bit of long presentation so that's why you don't get bored. I'm just saying what's coming and you can take into okay that's the specific point I went to her or you just continue. Okay so I will start from what is GovHack, how GovHack runs, what we do, what make us passionate and GovHack is about open data. So a little bit of about open data and how the open source is supporting hackathon and from GovHack perspective and what open source tools are using GovHack and some innovative exciting projects with a video at the end. So wait for it. Okay so the GovHack is the largest data hackathon in the southern hemisphere. We call it as the festival of ideas because we pretty much produce ideas from the from that today's hackathon. It's not two days a week and long like 46 hours and there are so many innovative ideas came out from GovHack last 13 years. Many of them came up as a startup and some of them were implemented in government. A little bit of history about GovHack. GovHack started back in 2009 from Gov 2.0 Task Force initiative from there started by John. Then it was like a gone sleep for a couple of years and it woke up after two years and in 2012 by Pia Andrews she launched a voluntary community driven fun hackathon and from 2012 it's moving on. Initially it was run by a committee then we formed an organization and now it is running by a board and a lot of volunteers across Australia and New Zealand. It's 13 years for GovHack. We have organized hundreds of events in Australia in New Zealand that definitely produce thousands of really valuable projects and many of them as I mentioned earlier became a startup. Many of those ideas have been implemented in different government agencies that created definitely the value we provide to citizen as a government. As I said GovHack is a 46 hours weekend hackathon event. It starts on a Friday evening with great event like everyone comes from different states. It's a local that means like every state and territory we run on the same day on the same night and same weekend. Definitely it starts a bit early in New Zealand and it starts a bit late on Western Australia but it's a local time base so 7 p.m. at New Zealand it starts and for Western Australia who is joining from Western Australia is 7 p.m. from them and it's a collaboration with multiple industries people coming together ideating throughout the weekend. Most important thing we say it's fun. Yeah there are prizes good prizes prize monies medals media coverage but what we evaluate it's fun because we have seen returning GovHack participant coming again and again. Sometime we say GovHack is addictive because once someone joined on that GovHack they keep coming and wait for the next year. The deliverable of GovHack is a three-minute pitch video published in some YouTube or any other video streaming platform. Well documented project description solving a challenge and the evidence of work that can include code base that can include designs, figments, wireframes. The project is judged by our judges. Judges not from GovHack the judges from sponsors so who are our sponsors. Our sponsors are all government organizations government agencies. Sometime we say like corporate organization like AWS Microsoft they also come but GovHack is specifically for government so we expect more government organization to come in and that happens every year from the state territories and also from the federal government and New Zealand. And the awards happen in every state. There is a state award night where the state winners and the runner-ups get the prize and medals from there and we have a red card national red carpet event every year. I'll just return back to Adelaide. I'm from Adelaide I forgot to mention. I'll return back to Adelaide and go to the red carpet award which is end of this month. So this is a very gorgeous event. Usually from government officials and ministers they usually come up there to hand over the prizes and the medals. So a lot of about GovHack because I just want to set the stage and what GovHack what we do now I'll jump into the next part a little bit more sorry for GovHack. So the GovHack 22 it was very special for us because it is a weekend event. People come together sit together collaborate together but last two years we missed most part of it because of COVID. So we had to quickly move into online event. So like 2020 it was all online 2021 it was few estates online few estates we organized it to have an in-person event and just two or three days before it or there's a lockdown moved online again. So it was challenging for us during the COVID but this year is very special for us because we came back to in-person event that opens the collaboration that opens the human interaction and that creates the innovation that creates locative projects. Another thing we initiated this year that was collaboration with the universities. So we are bringing a lot of universities within our platform because we know in Australia currently there's a skills gap. So a lot of universities taking the opportunity to use GovHack as a skill development opportunity and one thing COVID gave us that is online platform. So we identified we are now matured thanks to COVID to run an event online as well. So this year we tried hybrid that means people from another countries can also join and create a team and the people who are in person they can collaborate with them using Slack, Zoom and many other platforms. And from this year we started theme-based GovHack event that means that all the challenges will come around that theme. So we went for ESG this year the environment social and governance. Now I'll slowly move into the open source area. Hacker Space is our main platform where we publish our challenges where the participants submit their projects also register for the events. The interesting thing is this hacker's face is an open source platform. The code is available anyone can use this to create another hackathon like us and use the same platform. In fact we got it from one open source project and it has been developed for last four or five years now it is much matured. Now let's jump into the open data because GovHack is a competition with open data. So how many of you know about open data here any idea? Okay definitely. Okay so the open data initiative mainly in Australia it got popular from the Gov2.0 initiative where we know government has a lot of data inside but definitely that's not open for people to use and to ideate for businesses to use them and create new products, new ideas. So last 10-12 years government started open up their data and providing some level of data on open data portals so that we know what software data government has that can be used to create a new business, a new idea or a new solution. So open data is definitely available online on different data portals. Openly licensed anyone can use that. Data is mostly generalized that means it doesn't include any personal information mostly statistical information sometimes open API is available there as well and a lot of GIS data as well open data available in as a GIS layers in different portals. Published in open format machine readable it CSV, JSON, many open formats that is that can be used by a third party solution and freely accessible that follows the fair data principle that is findable, accessible, interpretable and reproducible. As I said about the open data every state and territory government including federal government has their own open data portal and in it's not only the state and territories also the local government city council they also have their open data that includes I can give some example like lakes where at the lakes their GIS data is there. We worked with a really good open data back in early that was a root crash data. I think now every state has a root crash statistics data that pinpoints which route which intersections are more dangerous and this data is regularly updated so maybe few months they actually push another new data sets there and as I was saying the open data portal this is a snapshot of our national open data portal data.gov.au you see there are like 100,000 data sets there it's a lot of data and it's you can find data related anything you just search you will find that whips up data there and you can use them. Definitely the data is on creative common license platform follows the prep fair principle as I mentioned earlier and agencies each this data is published by agencies each agency publish their data on a frequent basis and most importantly we know like during the COVID time what we did okay go to the portal search in Google okay how many cases in NSW today how many case we were very interested about this even news portals were getting up regular updated data from there so I believe like we have seen during the COVID the open data got more acceptance across people and people get more aware about the open data and the COVID check-ins multiple state sourcing how many check-ins happening every every day there is a very famous tool for open data portals all state most of the state territories use the second platform for their open data portal the open data portals images I was showing before most of them are created by second and they say open source product as well it's a very famous data management system not in Australia US government UK government Canada they also follow they also use second platform as their open data portal hackathon we all know about hackathon and last few years we have seen increased number of hackathons happening because of availability of online many people open a different hackathon online because now everyone is used to work from home work online and that's why we have seen a lot of hackathons coming up hackathons is mainly ideation creating a prototype and some cases it goes up to user testing level getting the real feedback from the user that can create a really interesting product definitely time box sometime one day two days sometime three days the outcome is definitely a proof of concept most of hackathon because that as a time box event you cannot create a product within a year or within a day or a two days time box time so it comes as a MVP definitely incremental way of MVP mostly customer centric and product market fit and proving a technology if the technologies work and interestingly govac also follows this not the first image the second image so a specific challenge a specific project can be solving four or five challenges published in govac so maybe the first challenge is for the first image the skateboard and then detect the project with another challenge with another challenge and this way the whole product creates multiple solutions for multiple challenges it's a one project that solves multiple challenges and how open source is helping hackathon and how it can be more promoted definitely need the support from leadership from the organization as I work for in working government definitely in government as well need the leadership and that visions go into open source use more open source products and use more open source platforms and the team building exercise is very important that creates the profession there is another slides coming for professional development which facilitates the term team building and most importantly where those ideas goes are those ideas are getting implemented integrated integrating into a product this is very important we keep track of our all govac projects and try to find out what are the success cases from there most hackathons run based on themes as I mentioned from this year went for theme-based govac as well most sometime is only open source sometimes economic recovery or sustainability there are so many hackathons available now at this at this time with different themes last few years we have seen themes around like covid recovery and like ESG as I mentioned govac this year govac drives a design thinking approach creating a solution from a challenge statement definitely the double diamond of the first cycle the challenge and then the problem definition at some level of development not a full full phase product and not delivered the deliver comes a post implementation of the hackathon driven projects and open source in the hackathon projects how it helps not definitely because it is a time boxed ideation event so there is no time to reinvent the wheel using the project that is pretty much a starting point and then adding more course adding more modules with that adding more features and that creates a solution at the end and then using the libraries in govac not only govac across all the hackathons is most of the projects are open in govac we promote sharing codes because it's open source it should be open source we use definitely open data open API is a lot of open APS coming up nowadays especially last two years ABS the student board of a statisticist they opened a lot of open API so it's not only CSVs or data dumps you can get real-time data and our projects are using them and then the open content and like Drupal South community like open source community govac is a huge community the most important thing is like govac has diversity so the youngest one we have seen is a four-year-old kid like this size and the oldest one we got someone from age from their 70s joined there so this is open for everyone from all ages they can come sometimes the whole family come kids and husbands and wives and coming to there with dogs and pets and this spend a fun time over the weekend and that's the beauty when the diversity comes the innovations comes from there because people have different minds and also govac is for all the skill sets it's not like a coders it's not like a someone from service design someone from project management a good team size can be five with some coders with some service design with some business people because we have seen they created a team with five people all coders they created awesome project but they didn't win because they don't know how to present it so that's why a ideal size team size is five with multiple skills and that promotes the innovation and we have people from diverse culture background and from all the industries govac not only govac all the hackathons have been used as a professional development opportunity in different organizations even in government at this at this moment corporate professional development programs mostly includes hackathon on their program and some of the agile frameworks even promote hackathon as the innovation is spring as I said before govac projects are all open source they are findable accessible and all follows the creative commons license last 13 years govac produce thousands of open source projects most of them are responsive web applications lot of data visualization because all about open data lot of IoT projects some mobile applications also came up from there most of the tools used in govac are open source so we can see some of the logos a Drupal is also there and these tools have been used by gov hackers for last 13 13 years some of the few projects I'm going to just quickly run through a very good mobile application that is solving the taxation problem for people finding out the tax help centers another one I can remember a real-time heat consumption website created by a team from city of paramata that's not a coding project that's very interesting for revealing the historical figures using a board game that used I think the South Australian Museum photographic data but it's still open data but a board game from there and identifying the best place to generate the ocean current electricity some carbon dioxide emission metering tool the second one is a project from Hobart finding out the tool that's driven by AI and machine learning and geosensing to find out the flood alerts in city of Hobart a city cell control identity platform there will be video coming later on on this project and smart trap to notify food fly movement out the project how gov a promoted open source challenges by provided by our sponsors they also just them projects are solving those challenges and using opens various open source tools and how gov a key from promoting open source is promoting adoption of open source tools and platforms into government the success a lot of successful startups came up from their government gov specifically for gov hack government agencies publishing their special data sometime so it's promoting publishing of open data to for for gov hack and is promoting publishing open data to for the agencies and creating the adoption of open source product in public sector one interesting project another another interesting project is patent toy patents toy it was from Canberra from back in 2015 using the IP Australia huge dataset and it was finding out searching a searching tool from their huge dataset of okay if there is any patent available on there you will get some of the the link is there some of the publication on that on that specific project and IP Australia implemented that one as well that's a Drupal project back in 2018 using gov CMS data visualization it was a visualization tool of gov CMS data provided by the challenges provided by federal government now the video time let's see the video runs effective communication with the public regarding health advice and safe handling of data are more important now than ever government data and communication across state governments is fragmented which can cause great stress for Australians especially neurodiverse people or those with mental disabilities changing advice is hard on those who rely on routine and this has real health impacts our solution did you keep an online service that securely stores encrypted data keys and provides relevant messaging and the did you keep API multiple related data sets orchestrated to provide an information powerhouse the did you keep secure ID provides Australians control when sharing their personal information with government and business entities the app uses an encrypted ID wallet and users can select which personally identifying information is included in the data package the sign-in process is encrypted and signed with public keys so that only the authorized parties can access the data vulnerable residents are at risk of falling prey to online scams that have arisen out of covert this helps to mitigate this the dashboard allows users to add update and delete data view restrictions by state and this also leverages exposure site and sewage surveillance data sets to provide relevant alerts did you keep implements the did you keep API to demonstrate some of the possible use cases the API provides a platform for governments to provide important health information to Australians and accessible and standardized format features include active and historical covert contact tracing sites vaccination availability and booking locations and real-time restrictions by state this demonstrates has state and federal government data can be collated standardized and published by an open data method as a scalable solution some people simply don't have access to the internet so did you keep offers a physical card for some people who don't have phones or computers available people can provide a form submit their ID for verification and opt to select which data keys to share by default covert 19 and a swift change to a more digital economy has turned spotlight on how we can better provide information to residents across Australia the did you keep site and API will result in increased awareness improved health outcomes and provide benefits to a number of industries such as travel infrastructure healthcare aged care and education additionally relevant and timely information will reduce fear and anxiety no more checking lengthy contact tracing lists every morning as state borders open up did you keep will help Australians keep track of what restrictions are across the different states and the measures they can take to protect their health and well-being did you key aims to achieve increased digital and information security and better health outcomes for all Australians solutions like the did you keep site our path to freedom as we chart a course to the covert normal era name of the agency this project has been used as a proof of concept on one of the government department and now government 23 the DCL government is already finished back in August the government 23 how people can get involved can be it's a voluntary event so can anyone can get involved as a volunteer as a mentor as a participant partnering and definitely anyone on the spot as well because the sponsors keep us alive the website is there and there is a board email that's a red carpet event back in 2018 in Sydney so another one is the next one is going to happen in few weeks time as I said and that's pretty much
