First up we have From Koha to Digital Kaitiakitanga:
Indigenous Values, Data Sovereignty and Library Systems
. Presented by Aleisha Amohia and Chris Cormack, Catalyst.

Chris was the original developer for Koha, world's first free and open spice library system. Aleisha is the current lead developer. https://koha-community.org/

Chris explains the reach of Cloud Act 2018 - US federal applies as long as it's a US company. US law enforcement might be compelled to hand over data stored on their servers. What does it mean for data sovereignty?
