Anita Gurumurthy participated in ‘The Tech We Want Summit,’ organized by the Open Knowledge Foundation on 17 October 2024. She participated in a panel titled, ‘The Tech We Want is Political.’
Since the Snowden revelations, citizen efforts have been focused on patching a broken system of surveillance, extractivism of people and the planet, and rights erosion. This panel discussion explored the current state of things and the viability of uniting technical and political efforts to move in a different direction.
Besides Anita, Bolaji Ayodeji, DPG Evangelist and Technical Coordinator at Digital Public Goods Alliance (DPGA); Simona Levi, Founder of Xnet; Poncelet Ileleji, Open Knowledge Network Gambia; and Jokkolabs Banjul, Open Knowledge Network Gambia participated in the session.
