You are cordially invited to attend our upcoming SEEKCommons Community Call. Join us for an insightful discussion exploring the intersection of open science, sustainability, and collaborative knowledge-making. About the Talk: This community call will discuss the experience of Appropedia, an open-access sustainability wiki. We will explore how publishing open documentation for sustainability projects can facilitate resilient collaboration between community organizations, open technologists, and socio-environmental researchers. We will respond to the following questions: How did we build a commons of sustainability projects using Appropedia? How do science and environmental justice practitioners use open-access documentation to address environmental problems? How can we prepare accessible publications that not only inform but inspire positive environmental action over time? How can we foster actionable and relevant socio-ecological knowledge with Appropedia in face of widespread climate disasters? And, how can we ensure that documentation remains open and accessible over time? Featured Speaker Emilio Velis is the executive director of the Appropedia Foundation, a global organization dedicated to disseminating solutions for sustainability and poverty reduction. Emilio is an industrial engineer from El Salvador with a career focused on innovation, design, and technology for social impact. He was listed as one of the 100 Most Innovative People in Latin America by Bloomberg Línea in 2023. This is a public event and everyone is welcome to join!
