1
|
||
|
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:01.240
|
||
|
Imagine for a moment
|
||
|
|
||
|
2
|
||
|
00:00:01.240 --> 00:00:03.900
|
||
|
our government would treat our public infrastructure,
|
||
|
|
||
|
3
|
||
|
00:00:03.900 --> 00:00:06.100
|
||
|
like our streets and public buildings,
|
||
|
|
||
|
4
|
||
|
00:00:06.100 --> 00:00:09.480
|
||
|
the same way it treats our digital infrastructure:
|
||
|
|
||
|
5
|
||
|
00:00:09.480 --> 00:00:12.560
|
||
|
Our members of parliament would work in a rented space
|
||
|
|
||
|
6
|
||
|
00:00:12.560 --> 00:00:16.360
|
||
|
where they weren't allowed to vote in favor of stricter environmental laws
|
||
|
|
||
|
7
|
||
|
00:00:16.360 --> 00:00:19.240
|
||
|
because the owner - a multinational corporation -
|
||
|
|
||
|
8
|
||
|
00:00:19.240 --> 00:00:22.580
|
||
|
didn't allow that kind of voting in its buildings.
|
||
|
|
||
|
9
|
||
|
00:00:22.840 --> 00:00:25.240
|
||
|
Nor will it allow a long overdue upgrade
|
||
|
|
||
|
10
|
||
|
00:00:25.240 --> 00:00:27.240
|
||
|
to more than 500 seats.
|
||
|
|
||
|
11
|
||
|
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:31.820
|
||
|
This means some members of parliament have to stay outside, in the street.
|
||
|
|
||
|
12
|
||
|
00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:33.940
|
||
|
And a couple of blocks away
|
||
|
|
||
|
13
|
||
|
00:00:33.940 --> 00:00:36.960
|
||
|
a brand new gym is already being torn down,
|
||
|
|
||
|
14
|
||
|
00:00:36.960 --> 00:00:39.460
|
||
|
just six months after it was built.
|
||
|
|
||
|
15
|
||
|
00:00:39.460 --> 00:00:42.440
|
||
|
It's being replaced with an exact replica -
|
||
|
|
||
|
16
|
||
|
00:00:42.440 --> 00:00:44.020
|
||
|
at great expense.
|
||
|
|
||
|
17
|
||
|
00:00:44.020 --> 00:00:45.440
|
||
|
And the only difference:
|
||
|
|
||
|
18
|
||
|
00:00:45.440 --> 00:00:50.460
|
||
|
The new manufacturer also provides "Streetball" as an added feature.
|
||
|
|
||
|
19
|
||
|
00:00:50.540 --> 00:00:51.620
|
||
|
Meanwhile,
|
||
|
|
||
|
20
|
||
|
00:00:51.620 --> 00:00:54.620
|
||
|
every night, through a hidden backdoor in the city hall,
|
||
|
|
||
|
21
|
||
|
00:00:54.620 --> 00:00:57.920
|
||
|
documents that contain sensitive information on citizens,
|
||
|
|
||
|
22
|
||
|
00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.920
|
||
|
from bank data to healthcare records,
|
||
|
|
||
|
23
|
||
|
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:01.920
|
||
|
are being stolen.
|
||
|
|
||
|
24
|
||
|
00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:05.060
|
||
|
But no one is allowed to do anything about it,
|
||
|
|
||
|
25
|
||
|
00:01:05.060 --> 00:01:08.760
|
||
|
because searching for backdoors and locking them
|
||
|
|
||
|
26
|
||
|
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.840
|
||
|
would infringe the signed user agreement.
|
||
|
|
||
|
27
|
||
|
00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:14.540
|
||
|
And as absurd as this sounds,
|
||
|
|
||
|
28
|
||
|
00:01:14.540 --> 00:01:17.120
|
||
|
when it comes to our digital infrastructure -
|
||
|
|
||
|
29
|
||
|
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:19.220
|
||
|
things like the software and programs
|
||
|
|
||
|
30
|
||
|
00:01:19.220 --> 00:01:21.560
|
||
|
that our governments are using everyday -
|
||
|
|
||
|
31
|
||
|
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:24.660
|
||
|
this comparison is pretty accurate.
|
||
|
|
||
|
32
|
||
|
00:01:24.660 --> 00:01:26.040
|
||
|
Because mostly,
|
||
|
|
||
|
33
|
||
|
00:01:26.040 --> 00:01:29.820
|
||
|
our administrations procure proprietary software.
|
||
|
|
||
|
34
|
||
|
00:01:29.820 --> 00:01:33.420
|
||
|
This means a lot of money goes into licenses
|
||
|
|
||
|
35
|
||
|
00:01:33.420 --> 00:01:35.960
|
||
|
that last for a limited amount of time
|
||
|
|
||
|
36
|
||
|
00:01:35.960 --> 00:01:38.360
|
||
|
and restrict our rights.
|
||
|
|
||
|
37
|
||
|
00:01:38.360 --> 00:01:41.000
|
||
|
We aren't allowed to use our infrastructure
|
||
|
|
||
|
38
|
||
|
00:01:41.000 --> 00:01:43.000
|
||
|
in a reasonable way.
|
||
|
|
||
|
39
|
||
|
00:01:43.000 --> 00:01:46.580
|
||
|
And because the source code of proprietary software
|
||
|
|
||
|
40
|
||
|
00:01:46.580 --> 00:01:49.320
|
||
|
is usually a business secret,
|
||
|
|
||
|
41
|
||
|
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:52.640
|
||
|
finding security holes or deliberately installed backdoors
|
||
|
|
||
|
42
|
||
|
00:01:52.640 --> 00:01:55.960
|
||
|
is extremely difficult and even illegal.
|
||
|
|
||
|
43
|
||
|
00:01:55.960 --> 00:01:59.580
|
||
|
But our public administrations can do better!
|
||
|
|
||
|
44
|
||
|
00:01:59.580 --> 00:02:04.540
|
||
|
If all publicly financed software were to be Free and Open Source,
|
||
|
|
||
|
45
|
||
|
00:02:04.540 --> 00:02:07.440
|
||
|
we could use and share our infrastructure
|
||
|
|
||
|
46
|
||
|
00:02:07.440 --> 00:02:10.140
|
||
|
for anything and for as long as we wanted.
|
||
|
|
||
|
47
|
||
|
00:02:10.140 --> 00:02:12.140
|
||
|
We could upgrade it,
|
||
|
|
||
|
48
|
||
|
00:02:12.140 --> 00:02:14.140
|
||
|
repair it,
|
||
|
|
||
|
49
|
||
|
00:02:14.140 --> 00:02:15.580
|
||
|
and remodel it
|
||
|
|
||
|
50
|
||
|
00:02:15.580 --> 00:02:18.360
|
||
|
in any way to fit our needs.
|
||
|
|
||
|
51
|
||
|
00:02:18.360 --> 00:02:21.800
|
||
|
And because the "Open Source" in Free Software means
|
||
|
|
||
|
52
|
||
|
00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.080
|
||
|
that the blueprint is openly readable for everyone,
|
||
|
|
||
|
53
|
||
|
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:29.860
|
||
|
this makes it much easier to find and close security holes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
54
|
||
|
00:02:29.860 --> 00:02:34.660
|
||
|
And if something practical and reliable was created digitally,
|
||
|
|
||
|
55
|
||
|
00:02:34.660 --> 00:02:39.100
|
||
|
not only can you reuse the blueprint all over your country,
|
||
|
|
||
|
56
|
||
|
00:02:39.100 --> 00:02:42.960
|
||
|
but the actual thing itself can be deployed anywhere,
|
||
|
|
||
|
57
|
||
|
00:02:42.960 --> 00:02:44.960
|
||
|
even internationally!
|
||
|
|
||
|
58
|
||
|
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:48.580
|
||
|
A great example of this is "FixMyStreet":
|
||
|
|
||
|
59
|
||
|
00:02:48.580 --> 00:02:50.460
|
||
|
Originally developed in Great Britain
|
||
|
|
||
|
60
|
||
|
00:02:50.460 --> 00:02:52.420
|
||
|
as a Free Software app to report,
|
||
|
|
||
|
61
|
||
|
00:02:52.420 --> 00:02:54.420
|
||
|
view and discuss local problems
|
||
|
|
||
|
62
|
||
|
00:02:54.420 --> 00:02:55.940
|
||
|
like potholes,
|
||
|
|
||
|
63
|
||
|
00:02:55.960 --> 00:02:59.080
|
||
|
it's now being used all over the world.
|
||
|
|
||
|
64
|
||
|
00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:00.700
|
||
|
Everyone benefits
|
||
|
|
||
|
65
|
||
|
00:03:00.700 --> 00:03:02.960
|
||
|
because new features and improvements
|
||
|
|
||
|
66
|
||
|
00:03:02.960 --> 00:03:04.960
|
||
|
are shared by everyone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
67
|
||
|
00:03:05.200 --> 00:03:08.480
|
||
|
If all our software were developed like this,
|
||
|
|
||
|
68
|
||
|
00:03:08.480 --> 00:03:12.220
|
||
|
we could stop struggling with restrictive licenses
|
||
|
|
||
|
69
|
||
|
00:03:12.220 --> 00:03:14.860
|
||
|
and could start thinking about where and how
|
||
|
|
||
|
70
|
||
|
00:03:14.860 --> 00:03:16.860
|
||
|
software could help us.
|
||
|
|
||
|
71
|
||
|
00:03:16.860 --> 00:03:18.040
|
||
|
We could concentrate
|
||
|
|
||
|
72
|
||
|
00:03:18.040 --> 00:03:20.920
|
||
|
on creating a better society for everyone.
|
||
|
|
||
|
73
|
||
|
00:03:20.920 --> 00:03:24.200
|
||
|
So, if you think that tomorrow's infrastructure
|
||
|
|
||
|
74
|
||
|
00:03:24.200 --> 00:03:26.460
|
||
|
should be in our own hands,
|
||
|
|
||
|
75
|
||
|
00:03:26.460 --> 00:03:29.680

78

It's time to make our demand:

79
|

00:03:36.460 --> 00:03:38.180
