The first “Hackers Boot Camp” held in Puerto Rico last month produced more than two dozen applications and solutions to improve services within agencies and with island residents, of which the government has chosen five to follow up on, Chief Information Officer Giancarlo González announced.
Solutions to address challenges such as providing secure access to government databases, managing the mass transit system routes and developing an app to facilitate hydrants location for the Fire Department to use in case of emergency, were just some of the many applications that came out of the 1st Puerto Rico Tech Summit held Thursday.
Less than two weeks away from the first “Puerto Rico Tech Summit,” the Government Information Office met Tuesday with programmers participating in the Hackers Boot Camp to discuss the possible areas, or challenges, for which they will be developing solutions and applications.
