For years I’ve contributed to the maintenance of human networks. I have learned from mistakes and continue to try new methods and systems to improve their persistence: care, communication, body and territory, crossed by a deep political conviction of freedom and autonomy. Not all of these processes are available online. Few years ago I started working in an NGO, in digital rights advocacy. Today I'm kind of a translator: critical appropriation of technology, from my activist work; end-user perspectives in internet architecture, as part of my job. I also write in spanish:

Workshop

Our Possible Autonomous Connectivity. Cartography in Process

What will the internet of the future look like? Ours will be far removed from the dominant business model. We imagine small-scale federated networks, based on free protocols and standards, that allow us to communicate without fear of control and surveillance. How to make this dream come true? Bringing our knowledge closer is a first step. This workshop is part of a series which main objective is the development of an icon set, as didactic material for the participative planning of network architectures with communities. We'll do a social cartography exercise: 1. identifying some of the needs and desires that a community network can satisfy; 2. defining specific and necessary technologies (infraestructure, hardware, software) and some of its uses and characteristics; 3. looking for the best way to visualize these elements on the space, in order to build icons. What I want is to advance in the development of complementary tools in the processes of design and construction of community networks that seek autonomous forms of connectivity. I propose this workshop in this space, hoping that people who master different types of technology will be able to contribute their advanced knowledge, which will then be fed by the knowledge, on the ground, of communities -not technicals- interested in building and managing their own communications networks.

The workshop will run Sunday, October 20, 2019, from 4:20 pm - 6:30 pm. Tickets are available here.

All materials will be provided for participants in the workshop.
