试想一下，如果政府人员和电脑高手联手，他们可能会取得什么样的成果？一个帮助难民找到家人的应用程序？一个将他们与捐助者和非政府组织联系起来的应用程序？亦或是世界和平？
九月份在西班牙的巴塞罗那(Barcelona)、贝鲁特（Beirut）、斯里兰卡的科伦坡(Colombo)、伦敦(London)和华盛顿（Washington）（接下来还将在北爱尔兰的德里(Derry)和哥伦比亚的麦德林(Medellín)）开展的活动中，软件编码人员与政府和非政府组织的调研人员结成团队，以合作实现这些目标。超过300名参加 #peacehack 的人员提出了对抗暴力极端主义、克服资源匮乏及帮助移民的办法。每个城市的优胜团队将在苏黎世(Zurich)举行的“建设和平2016——通过技术实现和平”(Build
Peace 2016 — Peace through Technology)大会上展示他们的计划。
那么，电脑高手怎么看待他们的政府合作伙伴呢？ #peacehackdc 的参加者德里克·凯林(Derek
Caelin)说：“有很多的和平建设者是特定领域的专家，但不一定了解现有的技术。”他还说，这是一个“比任何一方单独去做要更加有效的和平建设方案”。

#peacehack: Can
technology stop a bullet?
Imagine if bureaucrats and hackers teamed up. What might they
accomplish? An app that helps refugees find each other? One that
connects them with donors and nongovernmental organizations? Maybe
world peace?
September events in Barcelona, Spain; Beirut; Colombo, Sri Lanka;
London; and Washington (Derry, Northern Ireland, and Medellín,
Colombia, to follow) paired software coders with
government and NGO thinkers to do just that. Over
300 #peacehack participants
developed ideas to counter violent
extremism, overcome resource
challenges and
help migrants. Each
city’s winning team will present its project at the Build Peace
2016 — Peace through Technology conference in
Zurich.
So
what did the hackers think of their bureaucrat partners? “There are
a lot of peace-builders out there who are experts in their
particular field but not necessarily aware of the technologies that
are out there,” #peacehackdc participant Derek
Caelin said. It is a “much more effective peace-building program
than if either of these actors were operating separately.”

projects’ design or reuse the existing code. Start
brainstorming ideas for next

or look for these apps to come on the market in the next few
months!
