[DATAGOV Core] hoi- time for the weekly update!

Wed Feb 18 09:08:15 CET 2026

As for me:

  *
Did more readings for the structured literature review (SLR), need to start actually coding them now.
  *
Did some ethnography readings and assignments for my class
  *
Did the Oslo workshop which was really fun and insightful! Met Rachel Humphris who is starting an ERC project now on digital welfare inequalities for migrants, I think this would be a very interesting partner for us and the inequality angle at least.
  *
This week I started my Dutch classes wooo, this language just loves to group vowels together and then throw all the consonants in their own group, it’s so funny to me.
  *
This week I will be finishing my blog post (@Meg<mailto:m.kitamura at uva.nl> will send it to you today), prepping for industry days, prepare for my classes, and hopefully get some coding done for the SLR

All the best,
Matteo

On my side:

- chinese new year and a bit of unluck, our scatoletta hardware is on
his way with delay. We need to wait another week. In the mean time I
have ready for you tomorrow a hands on with the two prototypes. I have
transported our wall garden of ideas into a obsidian vault and we should
manage to fill it up collectively... let's see what happens. Bring your
laptop.

- i might need a projector from Stef or a bigger monitor so we can watch
it happen. I need to see what happens if we edit same files at once

- for the rest I have been vibe coding and doing work for Genova pilot
with "social token" and made two basic but functioning visualisation
engines for the activities on chain that show what's happenng with the
adoption. Same time i am fighting with the adoptioneers attention span
and accumulating a bit of frustration. Will need to be there again in
march, from 6  to 21 because is crucial that I am on their necks during
pilot project. Will be available for datagov online anyway
