| Number of participants | 25 |
| Context and motivations | Lots of interest, lack of spaces and understanding on encryption tools led us to think together and plan a space that would meet these interests with a consideration of what the specific needs of the community are.
We opened the floor to think specifically about obstacles and proposals for technology for this community. A need to think politically about technology and the need to think of Software Libre as a tool for liberation and organization. |
| Topics | Digital security and privacy with a gender focus, GPG, alternative emails, Software Libre. |

| Feelings | Lots of new & reconnected feelings around the meeting of different values in open space.
Shared spaces create a meeting of minds, differing opinions about political meaning of technology. Conflicted feelings around inclusiveness of cis men in feminist spaces / non-inclusiveness of cis-men's opinions and voices. |
|---|---|
| Feedbacks | Very specific feedback and needs for future meetings:
- Need for tools to perform secure erase of data. - Need to construct open access libraries outside of existing structures which have limited access for many communities, especially those outside traditional institutional spaces. - The need to use search engines which do not 'profile' users or perform censorship in order to reach wider info. Different experiences of information available when using TOR. -The interest on knowing how to create different identities online (the way on how to separate them and not giving up our real identity) -Interest on feminist libraries online with bibliography on the main subjects of interests. -Getting to know alternatives of Free Software of main applicatives used on the computer General feedback: - What happens in open spaces vs closed spaces? Do women and LGTBQIA folk need their own spaces and their own approaches to technology and learning? |
| Start | Creating spaces to generate access and empowerment around technology.
Motivating from joy not fear. Appropiate new knowledge and make it ours. |
| Stop | Fearing what we do not know :) |
| Keep | Being positive about each other's knowledge. Legitimising our existing "abilities". Growing together. Creating positive dialogue and learning new tools and foundations for knowledge. |
