Submit Your ODTUG Cross-Community Project

Community Outreach graphic (1).jpg

A strong sense of community is a big part of what makes ODTUG such a vibrant and lasting organization Because ODTUG is run mostly by volunteers, its members truly understand the value of giving back. At ODTUG Kscope19 we are looking to spotlight cross-community initiatives by ODTUG members from the Database, APEX, Analytics, and EPM communities who have volunteered their technical skills in a collaborative effort to drive positive change in the world. Learn more about two cross-community projects from the past year, Hurricane Florence NCDOT Road Closure, Gas Station Navigation App and for all a beautiful earth (fab.earth).

 

If you have teamed up with members of the ODTUG community on a project that spans more than two Oracle technologies, we want to hear about it!

Hurricane Florence NCDOT Road Closure, Gas Station Navigation App

 

The Hurricane Florence NCDOT Road Closure, Gas Station Navigation App served as a three in one solution that used the below verified data sources/technologies to provide NC residents the latest and most accurate information on road closures, open gas stations, and alternate routes to guide navigation around flooded areas after Hurricane Florence. ODTUG‘s main offices are located in Wilmington, NC, which means that the families and communities of more than 11 of the extraordinary people we count on to support our amazing user community were impacted by Hurricane Florence.

 

This app was built by Jayson Hanes, Alexis Galdamez, Adrian Png, and Neviana Zhgaba and was supported by many other members across all communities of the Oracle Developers Tool User Group (ODTUG) as part of the #TechGivesBack member initiated initiative—experts volunteering their technical skills for non-profit worthy causes for social good.
