Sovereign Tech Agency’s delegation of experts
Three weeks ago, we kicked off the first-ever #Maintainathon at the United Nations, and memories are beginning to settle in. Together with this group of highly experienced open source maintainers, we created a special moment at #UNOpenSourceWeek.
Grateful to have met so many people working to extend the reach, impact, and sustainability of open source.

Sigmund Freund, Minister of Public Admin for the Dominican Republic also gave a memorable #UNOpenSourceWeek Digital Public Infrastructure Day keynote & didn’t pull punches:
Really impressed by Vilas Dhar’s (McGovern Foundation) keynote at #UNOpenSourceWeek, DPI day. I’m thinking about this phrase he used :
“Peace is a design choice”

"I think peace is a design choice." - Vilas Dhar, President, Patrick McGovern Foundation. #UNOpenSourceWeek
A triangular portion of a marble monument depicting the globe and the words, "Acknowledge the tragedy"
A portion of a marble monument depicting a robed, dark-skinned person lying on their back in a niche, reminiscent of the way enslaved people were chained on transatlantic slave ships, with the words, "Consider the legacy"
A portion of a marble monument resembling the prow of a ship, with the words, "Lest we forget"
The Permanent Memorial was unveiled on 25 March 2015, which marks the International Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The memorial, located on the United Nations Visitors Plaza in New York, will invite people everywhere to contemplate the legacy of the slave trade and to fight against racism and prejudice today. Visitors can pass through the Ark of Return to intimately experience three primary elements. The first element, Acknowledge the Tragedy, is a three-dimensional map that depicts the global scale of the triangular slave trade. The second element, Consider the Legacy, is a full scale human figure lying in front of a wall inscribed with images of the interior of a slave ship. This element illustrates the extreme conditions under which millions of African people were transported during the Middle Passage. The third element, Lest We Forget, is a triangular reflecting pool where visitors can honour the memory of the millions of souls who were lost. In 2007, the United Nations General Assembly agreed to establish a Permanent Memorial in the grounds of the United Nations in New York City to honour the Victims of Slavery and the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In 2011, together with UNESCO the Permanent Memorial Committee launched a design competition. The Ark of Return by Haitian-American architect Rodney Leon was chosen among 310 entries from 83 countries. The project is funded through generous voluntary contributions from Member States, complemented by funding from foundations and private individuals.
In a country that claims its founding principle is freedom, there should be no more sacred a holiday than #Juneteenth.
"Acknowledge the tragedy. Consider the legacy. Lest we forget."
