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
|
|
help us now by sharing this video
|
|
|
|
76
|
|
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:31,460
|
|
and visiting our website:

|
|
|
|
78
|
|
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,460
|
|
It's time to make our demand:
|
|
|
|
79
|
|
00:03:36,460 --> 00:03:38,180
|
|
Public money?
|
|
|
|
80
|
|
00:03:38,180 --> 00:03:39,940
|
|
Public code!
