The role of IT volunteering in wartime.
summary
Volunteers build practical wartime IT tools: a WhatsApp chatbot that flags Russian-issued cards and helps local defense arrest about seven insider groups in one city, uncovering over $10M in illicit transfers; teams 3D-print drone parts and entire drones and deliver them to front lines; a group migrates 50+ universities to AWS so education survives even if campuses are destroyed; a small devops team ships an automated data-sync for SBU investigators that matches medical, rescue, OSINT and crime reports to cut manual reconciliation time.
