  by Sam Bao

  In 2011, 7,000 people in the KC metro area collectively lost 25,000 lbs over 10 weeks. Another 2,000 people at a KC company got on their feet and walked a total of 1.5 BILLION steps over 3 months. This is the story of how a website (cernerhealthwins.com) was created, utilizing a variety of open technologies such as Django, MongoDB, and Amazon Web Services, to get people excited about living healthy. Talk will cover the tech behind the site, lessons learned, and the lasting effects of the challenge.
