Nicola<p>I keep thinking about <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@everythingopen" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>everythingopen</span></a></span>. <br>It was a conference where I met wise elders of tech both hardware and software, and new entrants into the field, but also guardians of knowledge (librarians, museum peeps), rebels and rabble rousers, creative artists (paper, yarn, paint, pixel, words), politicians, data scientists. People looking and building things smaller by orders of magnitude than a human hair, people looking out into the vast distance of space. <br>I met dreamers and thinkers and everywhere there was the atmosphere of collaboration, community, and a desire for us to sustainably look after each other, our shared knowledge, and the planet we are lucky enough to exist on. </p><p>And it seems so much more than where it started: as a conference for technologists. </p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/eo2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>eo2025</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/EverythingOpen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EverythingOpen</span></a></p>
