Jyri-Petteri Paloposki

I’m an IT entrepreneur, civic-minded organiser and long-time volunteer from Turku. I work with web services and open source, and spend a fair amount of my free time trying to make shared organisations and public decision-making work a little better.

Technology Web services, open source and systems that work in practice
Organisations Scouting, student organisations and Green civic activity
Society Decision-making, openness and structures that make everyday life easier

I have lived in Turku since 2009. My background combines technology, volunteer work, open source, student organisations, scouting and Green civic activity. This site collects my profile, contact details and writings on technology, economy, openness, cities and whatever else happens to catch my attention.

Themes I keep returning to

Technology and openness

Web services, open data, open source and systems that should make everyday life easier.

Cities and society

Turku, public decision-making, trust, economy and the practical details of shared life.

Organisations and volunteering

Scouting, student organisations, Green civic work and the structures that help people do things together.
