🤩 If you see any of these faces at #OGPSummit in Spain, come talk to us about openness, digital public infrastructure, data governance, the #LocalStack, tech sovereignty, #TheTechWeWant, and any other topics at the intersections of #openknowledge.
👋 #OpenKnowledgeNetwork
🏛️🗯️ Democracy happens — and is lost — locally. That's why discussing an open, people-centred, sovereign #LocalStack is so urgent!
We kicked off our participation in #OGPSummit today facilitating this discussion with local government representatives.

20 AI Note takers in the Webinar I'm attending. There are ~50 people attending. We even have AI notetakers from companies and people that are not attending.
The chat gets spammed, there is zero reuse of resources and we are feeding Big Brother with all we say.
This is NOT #TheTechWeWant.
#TheTechWeWant useful, simple, long lasting, solving real problems. This sounds so good, but so damn hard, too.
The open question - for me - is always: how do you build a community and make sure people stick and keep showing up? I have failed at this so many times in the past.

I was intrigued by this org #TheTechWeWant, but then I saw #CrisisTextLine being featured. So my initial impression is they won't be going in-depth. This just repeats the talking points of CTL's own PR. Please help reform CTL: their policy to send cops w/o consent; & stop storing crisis conversatns.
