[Bigdatasur] New post - #COVID19: perils of biometric social protection

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Thanks a lot for your good whishes Silvia and let me join to the for all
the people here and their love ones.

Talking about Covid in the context of the Global South, we developed a
project called "Coronapedia"[1], using the same "pocket
infraestructures" that we have developed for agile and resilient
collective writing and publishing in projects like Documentaton and our
port of the open sourced Data Feminism book to such pocket
infrastructures. The behind scenes blog post for Coronapedia is in [4].

The critical practices, reflections, writings and infrastructures
regarding data from a Global South perspective seem even more needed in
this stranger times and may inform global concerns.

Take care you all and keep solidarity and love strong in this times, and
the ones to come.
