 Daniel Carranza, co-founder of [DATA Uruguay](https://data.org.uy/) - one of the organizing entities of AbraLatam - believes that it was a transcendental moment in the growth of the regional data movement:
 
-> For 10 years, the open data community in Latin America had an unjustifiable disconnection with other movements closely linked to data such as Wikimedists or mappers. The presence -very significant - of the Open Mapping Hub and its community at ABRELATAM/CONDATOS 2023 was the best possible first step to close that gap, because it went far beyond participation in the event. The Hub was part of the co-organization team, its activities were completely integrated into those of ABRELATAM/CONDATOS (and other Data Marathon events such as the Data Festival), but above all a clear integration was felt at the community level.** Those of us who work in open data have a lot to learn and to share with the mapping community** and my feeling after the events is that we have -finally- taken a very important step to build collaboration, projects and the friendship that forges a community.

-> recibí muchas ideas novedosas (para mí) que me gustaría realizar a la escala de Bolivia. Si tuviera que volver, me voy con más cosas que compartir y ya con algunos resultados. En cuanto a la colaboración con el HUB, vi lo que están haciendo y me gusta este vínculo, ya que **formar proyectos con apoyo de expertos o con visiones en un tema específico nos ayuda a generar redes que pueden beneficiar poblaciones o grupos desfavorecidos y a la sociedad en general**. Esto también me permite involucrar otros actores a esta iniciativa: otros municipios, otras ciudades, otras universidades en Bolivia.

Regarding the collaboration with the HUB, I saw what they are doing and I like this bond, since** forming projects with the support of experts or with visions on a specific topic helps us generate networks that can benefit disadvantaged populations or groups and society in general**. This also allows me to involve other actors in this initiative: other municipalities, other cities, other universities in Bolivia.
