A chat with Paola Villarreal during Open Village Festival 19th October 2017

Paola:

It is a network of people that share values that focus on openness which is something that I was focused on. They want to create a community online. I am sick of seeing people creating technology that is top down as opposed to bottom up and I think communities should be involved and be a priority for technology developers.

I met @nadia nadia at mosfest as a fellow we started to talk about how to make these efforts sustainable through fellowships and grants - exploring the topical things and that’s how she invited me to join the funding panel at this event.

I am currently doing research on data and inequality called data for justice - developing a methodology to measure different places and develop measurement tools. I was focus on the story telling from the data that I get. Picking trends from it and pointing out things.
