Hey everyone, we are back.
The DocuSign Good Code 2020 Hackathon has officially ended.
This has been a very busy couple of weeks for us
over here a DocuSign, as well as at Esri and our friends
over at the Forest Stewardship Council.
We've been busy judging all of the apps
that you guys created to help solve challenges to enable
FSC to do remote audits.
And additionally, help non-profits around the world.
We ask you to use the DocuSign API to help the Forest
Stewardship Council take their important work of forest
preservation digital.
To allow them to do remote audits
during this time of COVID and other challenges in the world.
And we were extremely impressed with everything
that you guys came up with.
And we're really excited today to announce who won.
So we awarded several prizes, and they
were a first place prize for each of the three FSC app
categories.
Including best pre-assessment app, best qualification app,
and best virtual audit app.
And we also awarded two prizes for first and second place,
for using DocuSign to help solve a challenge for the greater
good.
And then we gave a bonus prize for the best usage
of Esri's ArcGIS API in one of your FSC apps.
Throughout the hackathon you worked closely with us
at DocuSign, but also with our friends over at Esri
and at FSC.
So to help us announce the winners today,
I would like to welcome Joanna Nowakowska, who
is the Deputy Technology and Information Director at FSC.
She's going to be helping us announce the winners today, so
welcome, Joanna.
Thank you very much Caly.
So I would like to also say something
amazing about this project.
We are very impressed with all submissions
that we received from you.
We are very impressed with the level of engagement
that you've been demonstrating through Slack channel
and through attendance in our Twitch channel sessions.
And we are really grateful that you
took this challenge seriously.
We really could see that you were thinking meaningfully how
to make it work on the ground.
So thanks a lot for that.
And now I would like to move to announcing the prizes.
So the first winner we want to recognize,
is the winner in the pre-assessment application
category for 10,000 US dollars.
For this app category, we ask users
to build an interface, a communication or data exchange
tool, between applicant for certification,
or an existing certificate holder,
and the certification bodies.
We wanted that applicant or a certificate holder
has access to all our requirements,
but only those that are relevant for this particular entity.
To save their time and effort.
And we then wanted that this data is visible
for the certification body, saving time and effort
in exchanging this data.
Traditionally, it would happen just on the ground.
That upon arrival of certification body
to this particular certified entity.
So in this app, we just wanted to make this process more
efficient and to prevent problems stemming
from travel restrictions.
And the winner of this app, is Team Stalwart.
Team Stalwart's pre-assessment app
created a interface that gave a guided step
by step process for companies to enter self-assessment data,
use the ArcGIS API to add the forest's location.
And integrate it with the DocuSign API to sign
and send the declaration of authenticity.
So well done Team Stalwart.
Our second winner is for the best qualification application,
again, for $10,000 prize.
For this app, you were tasked with creating
an app that gave the certification bodies insight
into the data that was submitted by applicant chain of custody
companies.
And this app was going to show certification body
whether this particular certificate
holder, or an applicant, can qualify for remote assessments.
We ask applicants for the hackathon
to use Esri ArcGIS geocoding API and to add mapping
functionality with data that overrides the highlight
areas of concern that might prevent in-person audit,
such as COVID-19 hotspots.
And we are happy to announce that the winner
of this category was Team Acorn.
Acorn's application gave us a beautiful interface
with sections for both the applicant and the certification
body reviewer to highlight risk in an application for FSC
certification.
Acorn did a great job incorporating Esri's ArcGIS API
with geospatial data to show layers
of data of areas of concerns, that justify a remote audit.
And of course, in these applications,
it was integrated to DocuSign API
to sign and send the remote audit justification
form by a certification body.
So congratulations, Team Acorn.
The final FSC app category we want to award
is for the best virtual audit application,
again for 10,000 US dollar.
This was an exciting app category,
because we asked you to get creative
and to incorporate not only FSC data and the DocuSign API,
but also some other technologies of your choice
that would enable auditors to perform the work completely
remotely.
And the winner of this category was Team Greenblocks.
The Greenblocks app provided comprehensive interface
for a virtual audit to take place and provide the chain
of custody certificate.
Greenblocks chose to incorporate live chat functionality
to enable a remote audit to communicate
with someone on the ground and the company side,
as well as a building zoom integration
to enable the visual component of the virtual audit.
They also added file uploading to add additional evidence.
And the app did an excellent job incorporating
all the necessary documents and signatures by DocuSign API.
And using authentication to allow
FSC the chain of custody applicants
and the remote auditor to communicate and manage
the documents in the app.
Greenblocks also added the option
to turn the transaction into a smart contract
and write into the blockchain.
So well done, Greenblocks.
And I just want to give a huge thank you
to all who took on the challenge of building
for one of the FSC categories.
We know it wasn't easy to use these real data
sets in dynamics.
So we are very impressed by all of you who did.
We are grateful that you chose to help us
with this important problem and we are looking forward
to taking apps from here and modifying
them as necessary in FSC.
Integrating them with our technologies
and really treating them as a building
block for our next generation of remote audit.
Thank you.
Thanks Joanna, and once again a big congratulations
to all of the teams who made a project and who participated,
wonderful job.
All right, so now we are going to move on
to the final three awards.
Two for first and second place, for the DocuSign
for greater good category.
And our bonus award for best usage
of Esri's ArcGIS geocoding API.
So our bonus award for the best use of the Esri ArcGIS API
for $2,500 goes to, Team Acorn.
They did a wonderful job on their qualification app,
and our developer advocate friends that you've
been interacting with throughout the hackathon over at Esri,
were able to judge this app category for us.
And they felt the Team Acorn did a fantastic
job of creating that map with the data
overlays to show the areas of risk that
would lead to a virtual audit.
So congratulations again, to Team Acorn.
OK, and our final prize category here
is for DocuSign for the greater good.
So again, this prize was where we gave teens the opportunity
to act on behalf of an NGO, or a nonprofit of your choice,
to tell us, how could you use the DocuSign eSignature
API to digitize a process for a non-profit or NGO
that could really benefit from this during this time
with COVID and other restrictions?
There were a lot of creative ideas
and it was very inspiring for us here at DocuSign
to see all of the organizations that you
thought were worthy and important, that you
were working on behalf of.
So we want to thank you again to everyone
who participated in this app category
and chose this challenge.
So the first place winner for the DocuSign for the greater
good app category, for a prize of $7,000, was Team LifeBank.
Team LifeBank used the DocuSign eSignature
API to create an app that would help connect blood donors
and medical service providers in areas of the world
where blood donation is scarce and underserved.
What this app did, was allow communication
and the collection of signatures and other information,
between blood donors and the medical service providers.
So we are very excited for Team LifeBank
to bring this app to life, and bring this
to areas of the world where there is not enough blood
donation, and to help remove friction in that process.
So once again, huge congratulations
to Team LifeBank.
We hope you will make use of this app.
And our final prize category for today,
is the second place prize for the DocuSign for the greater
good challenge.
And this is for a prize of $3,500.
The second place winner was Kengo Yoshii of Team Oppro.
Kengo added document signing and sending
functionality to a CRM for case management
for a non-profit that works with disconnected youth.
And helps them find educational, employment,
and other opportunities.
This has been a challenge for this organization during COVID,
when they've been physically disconnected from the youth
that they work with.
So Kengo used the DocuSign API to embed
the signing and sending of documents
right there into the CRM.
And to help caseworkers connect with youth
during this time when they are physically distant.
So congratulations Kengo, we were very inspired by this work
and we hope that you will be able to use this to help
this underserved community.
And that's it.
Once again, a huge congratulations
to all of our winners.
We want to thank you again for joining us this year,
and we hope you'll join us again next year for the hackathon.
Bye everyone.
