📢 Open call: Open Technology Research is a global, multidisciplinary research symposium bringing academics and practitioners together to advance understanding of the role of open technologies in the modern world and produces policy-relevant research that helps decision-makers drive impact. This year's Open Technology Research (OTR) Symposium, themed “Shaping the Open Transition”, moves from diagnosis to action: from mapping the landscape to charting the path forward. With keynotes anchored in what is already working, and sessions designed to translate research directly into policy recommendations and practice, the event is both a stocktaking exercise and a forward-looking call to build a more united, evidence-based global research agenda ON – one that strengthens open technology's role as a shared foundation for resilience and sovereignty, reinforces public interest governance, and mobilizes research and evidence to drive collective action. https://symposium.opentechresearch.org/

📚️️ Read this peer-reviewed article on municipal tokens as urban policy tools, using #LVGA & the #MyLugano app as a concrete case study. https://www. p2pfisy.com/research-papers/municipal-tokens-as-urban-policy-tools-the-case-of-lvga-and-the-mylugano-app @npub1wvtg...erf8 contributed the final chapter, where he set out privacy-by-design principles for municipal digital identity. Municipal digital infrastructure can become a tool for autonomy, coordination, business & public value. Or it can become another surveillance layer. 👆The difference is in the privacy design choices we make early.

Everything that once felt connected suddenly is. Interfaced by brittle constructions of channeled electricity, we project ourselves into the ether. And there, in the ocean of data, our identities blend. Locality becomes osmosis. And realms flow into each other through their veil. Welcome home, fellow dyne.

Data swirls around us, an unseen current—Europeans wade through six hours and forty minutes of it daily, pulled under by smartphones, transit cards, health records, the quiet hum of municipal servers. It slips through our fingers even as it shapes us. This captured flow is distilled into metrics, those peculiar alchemies that turn lived experience into numbers. But metrics are never innocent. They bend to the will of their architects: governments measuring compliance, corporations tracking engagement, researchers seeking patterns. What gets counted? What gets omitted? The metrics whisper their priorities. And we—unknowing, unasked—become their subjects.
