🗳️❌ "We are seeing datasets disappear depending on who is in power. Whole open data portals are going offline after certain elections, both at the national and local levels. This disturbing trend threatens the democracy we have today." – @avilarenata.bsky.social #OGPSummit

✊🏾 "The most fundamental pillar of #opengovernment is software made by activists. If you have ever used official #opendata from Brazil, Canada, USA, UK, India, etc., you have used CKAN." – @avilarenata.bsky.social #OGPSummit ⛵️ #CKAN is a DPG recognised by the Digital Public Good Alliance

☁️😵 We at @okfn.bsky.social are not afraid to talk about the elephant in the room: there can be no truly public digital infrastructure as long as the ‘cloud’ belongs to corporations. 📸 @avilarenata.bsky.social at #OGPSummit

"It is neither intelligence nor artificial" 🗯️ #OGPSummit session today trying to pierce the hype. Public interest #AI indeed can help improve data quality and create knowledge from #opendata (reading, interpreting, referencing it), but critical literacies are needed! 🧵

🤩 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. @DPGAlliance #TheTechWeWant
