Tom Salmon

@Tom Salmon

I'm a teacher/civic activist, I value openness and sharing the treasure we have within us to learn. I advocate for open movements, web-literacy, web-making, and internet health. My passion for Gradual has grown out of that journey with Mozilla. Talk to me about: lifelong learning, critical theory, mushroom picking, Third World history, poetry, living in Indonesia or SA, hiking in Corsica and surfing.

Gunnar de Jong

@Gunnar de Jong

Life-long learner on a continuous pursuit towards bringing people together across disciplines. As an actor and theater maker I have experimented extensively with ensemble driven work, audience participation and ways to co-design devised immersive experiences. Gradual allows me to bring that playful energy into an even broader range of communities and learn from people like you! Let's talk about: sailing, lighthouses, gaming, contemporary theatre and dance practitioners, acting methodologies, chess, living in NYC, London or Amsterdam.

Philo van Kemenade

@phivk

I create tools, stories and things in between to amplify human connection with arts and culture. Openness, curiosity and play are some of my core values. With Gradual, I am scratching an itch I've had for many years: how do we make exchanging knowledge and skills more easy and fun? Talk to me about: lifelong learning, generous user interfaces, the combination of AI and Cultural Heritage, handstands, living in Japan, hiking in Slovakia.
