Chris Ritzo (@ChrisRitzo)

I’ve spent my career in tech support, teaching, web development and information science work in a variety of public interest organizations like K12 schools, libraries, higher education, membership based advocacy orgs and for the past few years at New America’s Open Technology Institute. At OTI I work primarily on the Measurement Lab project but have also assisted with other initiatives like Ranking Digital Rights and Commotion Wireless. Broadly, I’m interested in socio-technical issues as they affect public resources and institutions, particularly libraries and schools.
