@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. -

Two weeks ago, in collaboration with Open Nederland and
@okfn.bsky.social, Open State published five essays for #OpenDataDay, the moment when we reflect globally on the importance of open data. Open Knowledge Foundation has now featured the essays on their website. https://blog.okfn.org/tag/odd-essays/ -
#csvconf keynote on Open Data Editor as an example of developing tech with the community by Sara Petti from @okfn . Felt the struggle of working in the client software space with non-technical users in my bones. Word choice is such an underrated localization challenge -- what it means to "execute" a task has very different connotations depending on how much (and how long) you've worked with software.

A concrete example of how to annotate an #SQLite database using the #FrictionlessData data package standard.
@okfn it would be great if there were more concrete worked examples in the docs!

Open Knowledge Foundation debrief on a recent workshop that reviewed the Open Definition.
https://blog.okfn.org/2023/06/26/debriefing-the-open-definition-workshop-at-rightscon/
Two issues clearly stand out: (limitations on) purpose of use, and machine readability requirement.
The reading of the definition, in 2023, is heavily influenced by concerns over the use of open resources for #ML / #AI

RE: https://mastodon.nl/@openstate/116216521704302713
🌍 #OpenDataDay is a global moment to reflect on the societal impact of open data, and how different parts of the open data ecosystem connect.
In that spirit, @okfn and Open Nederland highlight the importance of linking different open data communities: governmental, cultural, scientific, and geographical.
In a new piece, our Executive Director @MsPhelps reflects on the 𝐫𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐢𝐧𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 within this broader open landscape.

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.
