Remember when US' #datagov announced the adoption of #CKAN as their data management system? It was ~10 years ago and gave a big boost to the #opengov movement.

I notice that @okfn is hiring a lawyer to work on new/updated Open Data Commons licences
https://okfn.org/en/jobs/researcher-open-data-commons-licences/
Interesting gig for someone.
Looks like the licences will be based around this paper?
https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4662511
Wondered if anyone familiar with #opendata and #openlicensing had any opinions on the paper (I've not read it yet), or if there was more information about the project elsewhere?

@mellifluousbox I’m reminded of my early days at the Open Knowledge Foundation @okfn , first as a volunteer and later as an ambassador in Brazil.
After some time, I suggested forming a local group. Due to my involvement, I later worked as a consultant. A member of the core organization coordinated local leadership, supported ambassadors, and held open meetings periodically. That structure was important.
Out of that structure, I founded Open Knowledge Brasil @okbr , which I ran for years before moving to Europe. Being close to people with strong communication and advocacy skills was invaluable, that's where I learned the most.
Today, I see similar energy in the Fediverse, with accounts such as @FediTips and @mastodonmigration. There are also communication professionals, for example, @hpod16 runs a highly strategic account for the @EUCommission. Or people like @bjoernsta , leading the awesome campaign #SaveSocial .
Resources may be limited, but there is clearly a passionate and capable community.
It might be worthwhile to find ways to involve and coordinate this existing expertise more intentionally. -
WTF? O Brewster Kahle do Internet Archive, a Renata Ávila da OKFN e a equipa do Tor vão estar em Lisboa esta sexta para um festival de hacktivismo + música electrónica que vai também juntar Apparat, Gilles Peterson, Clarke, Kode9 nos gira-discos no segundo dia???

If decentralization is the future of social media, where millions or even billions of people share knowledge, then we can learn a lot from how the Open Knowledge Foundation (@okfn) and the Wikimedia Foundation (@wikimediafoundation) built cross-border, international movements with clear missions.
These two organizations are just two examples, but they demonstrate an important point: decentralization worked because communities were intentionally nurtured, not just because the technology was open.
The Fediverse, powered by the ActivityPub protocol, already has the technical capacity to thrive (UI tweaks aside).
What we still lack is the decentralization of communities, including shared ownership, coordination, and a mission that extends beyond individual instances.

Open Knowledge Sweden har nöjet att tillsammans med volontärer från industri-initiativet #Eurostack arrangera panelsamtalet Digitalisering och Digital Suveränitet den 4 juni 2026 kl. 08:30–12:00 på Norrsken House vid Birger Jarlsgatan 57 i Stockholm.
I en tid när Sverige är ett av världens mest digitaliserade samhällen men samtidigt utsatt för geopolitiska påfrestningar samlar vi ledande röster från #myndigheter, #näringsliv, #juridik och #forskning.

„Die dargelegte Rechtsprechung [zur #Haftung von #Anschlussinhabern] ist nur möglich, weil Fachgerichte nicht verpflichtet sind, ihre Urteile zu veröffentlichen. Wir fordern mit Nachdruck den offenen Zugang zu allen gerichtlichen Entscheidungen. Die technischen Voraussetzungen der Anonymisierung dieser Urteile sind seit Jahren gegeben. Es fehlt an der politischen Umsetzung. Im Wege der #Digitalisierung der #Justiz muss die #Veröffentlichung zwingend mitgedacht und umgesetzt werden.“
Danke, @okfn .
