Generic note: there is a severe lack of power outlets around the venue, so I am often closing my laptop to safe battery, taking notes on the phone instead, which is less convenient and thus less comprehensive.

One of the most interesting sessions for me was on data sovereignty, particularly from the perspective of indigenous data. Unfortunately, the WiFi in the room was basically down, and so was my laptop's battery, so I don't have any notes but still some positive memories that just crossed my mind again.
