The GOARN Operational Support team and WHO Open Source Programme Office are pleased to invite you to the launch event of Go.Data transitioning to an open source software project.
Go.Data, a data collection and visualization tool developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) in collaboration with key Global Outbreak Response Network (GOARN) Partners, is being launched as an open source software.
Go.Data has supported over 65 countries and 115 institutions during the COVID pandemic. As the use of Go.Data continues to grow worldwide, it has become increasingly important to enhance its accessibility and sustainable adoption through an open-source software license.
In this webinar, Go.Data's recent transition to an open source software license will be announced. The event will provide a platform for WHO personnel, Go.Data Community of Practice, and public health/technology professionals to learn about the project, its interaction with the WHO Open Source Programme Office (OSPO), and ways to contribute and engage.
