This week I had the opportunity to present @apell at #Mindtrek conference in Tampere (FI): #OpenSource business is of strategic importance to the #EU!
That is why we engage with decision-makers in Brussels and throughout Europe to encourage policy change to leverage the advantage of Open Source for #DigitalSovereignty.
Thanks to the team at @cossfi and colleagues for having me and for engaging, encouraging discussions! (Conference photos by Konsta Lattu.)

So glad to have participated in the Academic #MindTrek Conference ‘CO-designing the Affective City’ by #TampereUniversity & #ParisLodronUniversitätSalzburg with @sghosh & learn how we can create speculative, affective urban spaces. We used old #Delhi (#chandnichowk) + #Kolkata (#CollegeStreet) as case studies.

Honoured to be voted as "Best Presentation" at Academic Mindtrek 2022 in Tampere, Finland this week.
It is a very odd paper from Robb Mitchell, Kin Encinas and me, we are so glad it found a home and a fantastic audience in Finland. Such a warm, friendly and fun conference. Congrats to organisers and other awardees. Kiitos! 💙🇫🇮
