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.

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.
