1
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,250
i guess i'll start

2
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:13,890
and

3
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:21,740
so i'm really that is sort going to
actually be reading a lot of that

4
00:00:21,740 --> 00:00:24,510
so this is that so

5
00:00:25,590 --> 00:00:30,970
first i should introduce myself my name
is mike ford i'm a you know foundation

6
00:00:30,970 --> 00:00:37,860
member i got involved in you know with the women's
outreach program in two thousand

7
00:00:37,860 --> 00:00:44,420
eleven and i and contributing chick you
know since then i'm also working on my

8
00:00:44,420 --> 00:00:49,780
master's in computer science in chicago so
this talk is basically about a group that

9
00:00:49,780 --> 00:00:53,820
jim campbell who is not documentation contributor

10
00:00:54,260 --> 00:00:55,190
in you know

11
00:00:55,350 --> 00:00:57,050
i started in chicago

12
00:00:57,730 --> 00:01:03,870
and also for so i'd like to explain the title
generally when i talk about

13
00:01:03,870 --> 00:01:09,800
free and open source software i call it
three the free software can or for

14
00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:12,420
us community are the flask

15
00:01:13,230 --> 00:01:16,840
well i'm calling at the open source community

16
00:01:17,270 --> 00:01:21,340
because in chicago we have a tiny for yourself

17
00:01:22,670 --> 00:01:25,440
and so in order for us

18
00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:34,480
to our reach out be and our small twenty
member community we needed to learn

19
00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:40,510
how to engage people who we have things
in common but by maybe didn't embrace

20
00:01:40,510 --> 00:01:43,150
all of the all the

21
00:01:43,890 --> 00:01:45,710
the ideals

22
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:48,220
i that free software this

23
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:49,300
so

24
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:57,280
so has a chicago is the third largest city you know

25
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,910
so we have a population of almost people

26
00:02:02,310 --> 00:02:09,520
and we have a pretty large czech by our
free software community address that is

27
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:10,600
really small

28
00:02:11,270 --> 00:02:15,740
so when we were starting out a lot
of what the challenge that we face

29
00:02:15,740 --> 00:02:16,240
ways

30
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:21,520
how do we get people to be interested
in free software how do you know

31
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:26,720
the community around give when most
people have never use windex

32
00:02:27,130 --> 00:02:29,320
or have heard of free software

33
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:31,890
so

34
00:02:32,420 --> 00:02:33,610
we started out

35
00:02:35,210 --> 00:02:37,080
basically looking at our community

36
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:44,150
and seen what is the larger community that
surrounds free software which are and we

37
00:02:44,150 --> 00:02:49,760
found that we have three basic groups of people
who were knowledgeable about free software

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:53,980
and to might possibly be interested
in learning about you know

39
00:02:54,370 --> 00:02:54,900
and

40
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:58,510
so are the three basic ribs we have

41
00:02:58,930 --> 00:03:05,490
we have a pretty active python community
and we have a hacker space with a

42
00:03:05,490 --> 00:03:08,660
lot of people who tend to run macro last

43
00:03:09,100 --> 00:03:14,990
and we have a nonprofit it's hardware recycling

44
00:03:15,650 --> 00:03:24,110
that installed linux on laptops and dot tops
and either don't make seven or sells

45
00:03:24,110 --> 00:03:25,310
them at low cost

46
00:03:25,640 --> 00:03:34,490
so the i community is we have around thousand
active members of the pipeline on

47
00:03:34,490 --> 00:03:38,870
that's a sad often times they turn round hole

48
00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:43,770
so they don't use linux

49
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:48,190
but they have a lot of knowledge that
can help them to learn about linux

50
00:03:48,190 --> 00:03:53,830
so that the basically the learning curve
for that is not just it would be

51
00:03:53,830 --> 00:03:56,130
for someone coming from microsoft

52
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:02,820
also they a lot of the people the pipelines
maybe ten should use both front

53
00:04:02,820 --> 00:04:07,460
end and back and development and so they
have a lot of understand things like

54
00:04:07,460 --> 00:04:12,390
line and concept second hope to become active you know

55
00:04:16,940 --> 00:04:17,900
so

56
00:04:18,370 --> 00:04:19,710
i hope so

57
00:04:20,810 --> 00:04:26,220
also there are people from the python community
for involved in the next one of

58
00:04:26,220 --> 00:04:28,070
the all this in

59
00:04:28,750 --> 00:04:34,100
the chicago area in the suburbs is
run by a number of the type and

60
00:04:34,100 --> 00:04:40,770
community and then six of our members are actually
chicago python community members as well

61
00:04:47,140 --> 00:04:49,830
so we also have a packer space

62
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:55,960
with around two hundred members that actually probably
i think that's the official number and

63
00:04:56,840 --> 00:04:58,680
they probably have actually i five

64
00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:06,420
and we have a they have a lot of a printer
which is aegean you

65
00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:07,130
project

66
00:05:07,580 --> 00:05:14,340
people use wonder in state for their projects
and also they there are people who

67
00:05:14,340 --> 00:05:18,010
are using free software but maybe not necessarily

68
00:05:19,410 --> 00:05:26,980
there is also a pretty active people were hacking
on michael microcontroller projects

69
00:05:27,490 --> 00:05:29,450
and they

70
00:05:30,510 --> 00:05:36,250
the people who go to the hyperspace range
from startup see you know is to

71
00:05:36,250 --> 00:05:38,870
hobbyists to just come in and how come we can't

72
00:05:40,540 --> 00:05:47,110
no they mentioned there's also for each
card which are is the is i'm not

73
00:05:47,110 --> 00:05:54,580
a you know that recycles computers and
one's a installs want to look next

74
00:05:57,420 --> 00:06:01,290
and they also have weekly have nights but they're
actually acting on their website which

75
00:06:01,290 --> 00:06:02,880
i think is in java script

76
00:06:04,410 --> 00:06:07,150
so we wanted to create

77
00:06:07,660 --> 00:06:14,580
i community problem you know and there
we have to be people in chicago who

78
00:06:14,580 --> 00:06:17,590
work on you know a G able

79
00:06:18,290 --> 00:06:19,360
right here

80
00:06:20,190 --> 00:06:26,740
have the baroness at least and chris webber
also decided that would help us

81
00:06:34,520 --> 00:06:35,110
so

82
00:06:35,700 --> 00:06:40,070
this actually lives in a different city
so he was just five you often to

83
00:06:40,070 --> 00:06:47,490
help us a but in the two people most organisation trivia J

84
00:06:50,490 --> 00:06:57,220
you probably does most of the he does
our website updates and a lot of

85
00:06:57,220 --> 00:06:58,680
our social media posts

86
00:07:00,830 --> 00:07:06,070
so initially we decided that we would have
meetings where we would go to the

87
00:07:06,070 --> 00:07:11,960
newcomers tutorial and try to teach people
to happen you know and are most of

88
00:07:11,960 --> 00:07:14,280
the meetings i was the only person who actually had a

89
00:07:15,050 --> 00:07:17,070
and i found that

90
00:07:17,970 --> 00:07:22,060
me myself trying to teach twelve
people to use G H build up once

91
00:07:22,550 --> 00:07:28,110
different distributions was it with choose difficult
i could actually really be productive in the

92
00:07:28,110 --> 00:07:31,310
whole so because of that

93
00:07:32,320 --> 00:07:34,920
we moved trying to have a broader for

94
00:07:35,460 --> 00:07:36,200
for the group

95
00:07:39,150 --> 00:07:46,240
i'm not saying that we encountered
a lot first with that P we people

96
00:07:46,740 --> 00:07:51,830
generally when we brought up you know
people had a negative reaction

97
00:07:52,380 --> 00:07:58,160
and on a people would say things like
you know thank you know unit easily

98
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,420
this they don't care about their user

99
00:08:02,220 --> 00:08:04,960
people didn't like you know three

100
00:08:05,570 --> 00:08:13,170
and thinking chicago for example we have
are some people there who is that what

101
00:08:13,170 --> 00:08:18,760
we hit you know we have to switch to
access see because we're using old

102
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,800
hardware we can run get a three on it
why don't you care about the

103
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,410
people we're donating use machines to

104
00:08:28,810 --> 00:08:35,680
and also because we had a manual focus
just on you know people seem to

105
00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:36,950
see as that's kind of

106
00:08:37,390 --> 00:08:42,980
and maybe that's partly my fault on having
to just as people were only focus

107
00:08:42,980 --> 00:08:43,790
on you know

108
00:08:44,290 --> 00:08:49,270
we're not really concerned about building a community
around free software in general

109
00:08:51,500 --> 00:08:55,140
another issue that we ran into where was a

110
00:08:56,120 --> 00:08:57,230
diversity issues

111
00:08:59,910 --> 00:09:00,610
we

112
00:09:02,890 --> 00:09:03,390
and

113
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:06,530
so i

114
00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:13,160
so we actually and it out of putting a diversity
statement on our website at

115
00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:19,820
a certain point in time and the main
reason why we ended up doing that

116
00:09:20,340 --> 00:09:22,400
was because

117
00:09:25,770 --> 00:09:30,830
and well at the women some people
did not like the fact that i was

118
00:09:30,830 --> 00:09:33,660
representing the which is

119
00:09:34,420 --> 00:09:41,230
and so i ran into some issues with people
being anything that i was in

120
00:09:41,230 --> 00:09:48,160
a position of authority as a woman in the past
community and so we did

121
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:54,140
end up having to diversity statement
and we sort of came up with a way

122
00:09:54,140 --> 00:10:00,020
to deal with people on it's actually pretty
common in chicago for people to i

123
00:10:00,020 --> 00:10:01,470
for people to feel that

124
00:10:02,040 --> 00:10:05,730
women are not involved in the next
because it doesn't interest

125
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:07,480
and

126
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:08,670
so

127
00:10:10,550 --> 00:10:15,990
one thing that we've tried to do is have
discussions with those people we tried

128
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:22,260
to engage them and keep them in our community
and we have some failures doing

129
00:10:22,260 --> 00:10:22,510
that

130
00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:26,670
and we did have one person laughter

131
00:10:27,850 --> 00:10:28,510
but it's

132
00:10:28,850 --> 00:10:31,010
we tried to be as inclusive as parts

133
00:10:31,650 --> 00:10:32,360
and

134
00:10:33,010 --> 00:10:38,100
so in general what we feel is if someone
doesn't agree with that adversity balls

135
00:10:38,100 --> 00:10:39,170
that's totally fine

136
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:43,450
and we welcome that person to be community anyway

137
00:10:43,910 --> 00:10:47,880
just that people don't for us for having the balls

138
00:10:54,450 --> 00:10:55,650
so

139
00:10:56,490 --> 00:10:59,910
the basic way that we deal with that issue in

140
00:11:00,980 --> 00:11:06,080
we've tried to engage the larger linux community
and we found other people were sort

141
00:11:06,080 --> 00:11:10,510
of in senior positions in the linux community
more willing to speak up and support

142
00:11:10,510 --> 00:11:14,150
of diversity and that's kind of changed data to a lot of

143
00:11:14,580 --> 00:11:18,060
a lot of the people involved in our group

144
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:24,300
and we try to give people a reasonable
chance to talk about how they feel

145
00:11:24,300 --> 00:11:26,450
about first i think ye

146
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:32,230
you know not everyone has the same how political ideas like

147
00:11:32,850 --> 00:11:34,280
so i tried to

148
00:11:35,290 --> 00:11:38,930
try to engage people and give them a chance
to talk about what they feel

149
00:11:38,930 --> 00:11:44,890
is important that we do and conversations
what we're so productive

150
00:11:45,750 --> 00:11:46,040
and

151
00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:48,710
i do emphasise in this

152
00:11:49,820 --> 00:11:56,040
so we do things like try to use just
for like which some people like

153
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,580
that that's important talk

154
00:11:59,630 --> 00:12:04,620
and we do have maybe writes to i have expressed about this

155
00:12:07,690 --> 00:12:08,690
click there are but

156
00:12:12,630 --> 00:12:13,030
so

157
00:12:14,310 --> 00:12:18,640
the one that we ended up with is we
have at our meetings one someone

158
00:12:19,250 --> 00:12:24,560
the first two hours we have a harness and
we invite members of the community

159
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:27,760
this sometimes people will approach us

160
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:30,430
ask you talked some topics

161
00:12:30,810 --> 00:12:36,980
that is that we all the topics are related
to free software and since gemini

162
00:12:36,980 --> 00:12:41,650
our we don't community members we tend to
talk about things that are happening you

163
00:12:41,650 --> 00:12:46,860
know so when we go to know that will usually

164
00:12:47,300 --> 00:12:53,010
give people gonna talk about it so that people
kind of feel like they're involved

165
00:12:53,010 --> 00:12:55,070
you know what's go what's going on

166
00:12:56,120 --> 00:12:59,010
so we want people to feel like

167
00:12:59,650 --> 00:13:04,510
we are part of the fast but at the same time they can be in

168
00:13:04,510 --> 00:13:10,950
the gonna buy belong to our organisation and
then we spend the remaining three hours

169
00:13:10,950 --> 00:13:13,500
of our meeting sorry one

170
00:13:16,320 --> 00:13:17,900
the remaining three hours we have

171
00:13:19,100 --> 00:13:19,400
and

172
00:13:22,130 --> 00:13:25,390
generally we invite people to bring
whatever project they're working on

173
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,860
so some people drink it all related projects

174
00:13:30,050 --> 00:13:30,280
okay

175
00:13:32,160 --> 00:13:37,220
no some people drink they don't they do projects
and some people just bring whatever

176
00:13:37,220 --> 00:13:38,570
they are working on at the time

177
00:13:39,830 --> 00:13:42,960
we hold our meetings at the local hacker space

178
00:13:43,280 --> 00:13:46,650
at this point we're affiliated with chicago

179
00:13:47,620 --> 00:13:51,640
so we have a share need a page we have a lapel once in the

180
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:56,260
chicago area where the only linux related in the city

181
00:13:57,070 --> 00:14:03,250
we have a social media presents that we
actively poster twitter little plus

182
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:05,740
i tended to see a we actually

183
00:14:06,660 --> 00:14:11,970
and we have a website that we maintain a mailing list

184
00:14:12,470 --> 00:14:15,440
there's you channel and then the me to start

185
00:14:18,250 --> 00:14:20,700
so what we provide for members

186
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:27,440
we try to provide an informal space
for people to talk about three

187
00:14:28,370 --> 00:14:30,150
software related topics

188
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:35,650
and we try to provide people with some
tech support so we have people who

189
00:14:35,650 --> 00:14:40,560
use linux or we try to install it
if they aren't you know we try

190
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,860
to help them or how

191
00:14:42,770 --> 00:14:49,310
and we have an o'reilly book just now so
people can purchase textbooks you know

192
00:14:49,310 --> 00:14:51,230
and also they do reviews they can get

193
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:57,840
chequebooks for free and then we specifically
try to help with again so help you

194
00:14:57,840 --> 00:14:59,860
work problem G H bill

195
00:15:00,430 --> 00:15:01,740
learn out right

196
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,770
so some of the talks that we had we had an intro to you max

197
00:15:09,770 --> 00:15:14,940
talk to chris webber gave and we went that
michael there about came and talked

198
00:15:14,940 --> 00:15:17,490
with about our system D

199
00:15:17,910 --> 00:15:22,720
do you confident she studies open
show showed and then i do what

200
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:25,380
is that we had in brussels

201
00:15:26,010 --> 00:15:28,050
and we have a lot of times

202
00:15:28,420 --> 00:15:33,090
but in general maybe half or two
thirds of them are gonna like it

203
00:15:34,630 --> 00:15:39,520
some of the project that people have worked
on and we have one guy respond

204
00:15:39,520 --> 00:15:46,380
working on the G object bindings go programming
language i didn't work on documentation and

205
00:15:46,380 --> 00:15:50,720
we had someone who are actually does that models

206
00:15:51,230 --> 00:15:57,420
i don't know does a lot of our video
he recording for a free and

207
00:15:57,420 --> 00:16:02,210
open source work for inferences and so
he was working on the system so we

208
00:16:02,210 --> 00:16:10,360
can streamline video and then i worked on documents
we've had someone working on you

209
00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,400
know music and i'm working on some
more right point had from that

210
00:16:15,410 --> 00:16:18,080
another percent working on this decay bindings

211
00:16:19,730 --> 00:16:27,140
we've also had thank you some of our members
become involved in we are just

212
00:16:27,140 --> 00:16:31,370
about a two are actually participating in P W

213
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:38,980
we see more people who are interested
in you know open to the idea of

214
00:16:38,980 --> 00:16:43,950
using you know we don't get people
generally have kind of move past

215
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,130
a pass

216
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:49,480
a huge you know and they

217
00:16:50,870 --> 00:16:53,090
we see a lot of people who actually

218
00:16:54,370 --> 00:16:58,720
actually what are the things that it really
big difference was the introduction of fast

219
00:16:59,700 --> 00:17:05,290
and as much as i hate to say that was something
that people would completely

220
00:17:05,290 --> 00:17:10,840
given up i'm going on using you know
it was something that need them feel

221
00:17:10,840 --> 00:17:11,330
that

222
00:17:13,100 --> 00:17:17,790
so it actually have made a pretty big difference
in terms of perception our community

223
00:17:17,790 --> 00:17:20,570
east i don't some of our members also become friends

224
00:17:23,080 --> 00:17:28,320
the community of people who we have all
we actually have a lot of systems

225
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:29,210
administrators

226
00:17:29,830 --> 00:17:35,300
cool come to our because which i was actually
kind of surprised about actually didn't

227
00:17:35,300 --> 00:17:39,820
realise that a lot of sysadmins
use linux on the desktop for

228
00:17:40,290 --> 00:17:44,200
and so what i was trying to teach people
to cool for development in what

229
00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:45,610
they're like an extra

230
00:17:46,380 --> 00:17:50,770
i thought it was because i was a student
make been using linux problem turn

231
00:17:50,770 --> 00:17:54,840
turned out that actually a lot of them were not about

232
00:17:55,510 --> 00:17:58,000
so i was surprised but i suppose

233
00:17:58,740 --> 00:17:59,280
like to

234
00:18:00,020 --> 00:18:03,290
we do have a lot of hype on community members

235
00:18:03,700 --> 00:18:07,600
we have students from local universities
to come and the hackers

236
00:18:10,630 --> 00:18:14,470
so what we found is as we've kind of moved

237
00:18:14,930 --> 00:18:17,110
having a slightly broader for this

238
00:18:17,470 --> 00:18:24,620
that people are able to sort of contextualized
you know basically it last as a

239
00:18:24,620 --> 00:18:25,470
project

240
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:32,270
that is working they don't see as are working
in isolation and making decisions

241
00:18:32,610 --> 00:18:37,420
just based on what we want to do
they see us as people who are

242
00:18:37,420 --> 00:18:39,450
contributing to the larger

243
00:18:40,680 --> 00:18:41,600
as well

244
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:51,450
also we found that people who may know something
about free software for example allows

245
00:18:51,450 --> 00:18:52,540
users

246
00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:59,510
but i don't really know much about
you know more about linux desktop

247
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:06,660
are able to express interest from to our meetings
and learn some things without feeling

248
00:19:06,660 --> 00:19:07,780
like i have to be axed

249
00:19:10,510 --> 00:19:15,870
so in the past we plan doing meetings
monthly since september and to be as

250
00:19:15,870 --> 00:19:19,590
i said we started out with four members
we have about fifteen people who are

251
00:19:19,590 --> 00:19:23,290
actively engaged in organising is

252
00:19:23,700 --> 00:19:29,440
and then we have various other people
from not sure how many met members of

253
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:29,940
all

254
00:19:30,120 --> 00:19:31,020
it's probably right

255
00:19:33,460 --> 00:19:38,120
and we've also found that the community feedback
that we've gotten have become a lot

256
00:19:38,120 --> 00:19:38,700
pots

257
00:19:39,980 --> 00:19:44,620
so that's all i feel is even though
in some ways i feel like we're

258
00:19:44,620 --> 00:19:50,340
not really have much to you know directly
we are making a difference in the

259
00:19:50,340 --> 00:19:54,740
king in our in terms of how is see so

260
00:19:57,110 --> 00:20:04,120
so our plans for the coming year are
owns some of our members want to

261
00:20:04,120 --> 00:20:06,370
start doing some packing only events

262
00:20:06,710 --> 00:20:11,990
we're going to do you to work that how
we should and building the community

263
00:20:11,990 --> 00:20:15,980
and encouraging and supporting interesting often channel

264
00:20:18,300 --> 00:20:19,010
so

265
00:20:20,220 --> 00:20:22,510
you said i should talk to about starting

266
00:20:23,820 --> 00:20:24,070
so

267
00:20:25,030 --> 00:20:25,310
so

268
00:20:26,330 --> 00:20:32,410
so i would say that you last i think
a free open source software is

269
00:20:32,410 --> 00:20:34,020
not as popular as it is in here

270
00:20:34,470 --> 00:20:38,840
so you may be starting from scratch
that we that we were or you may

271
00:20:38,840 --> 00:20:43,500
have a all the next user group in your
area you can get involved in

272
00:20:43,500 --> 00:20:44,450
any sort of

273
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,050
actively talk about it will work

274
00:20:47,550 --> 00:20:48,570
of course you know

275
00:20:50,710 --> 00:20:56,710
so out there is a on linux user group
then i would recommend that you

276
00:20:56,710 --> 00:21:00,800
probably try to start with a broader
focus if you have a really small

277
00:21:01,950 --> 00:21:08,640
like we have website it you can go and
set up pretty easily probably take

278
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:10,400
about twenty minutes to start it up

279
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:18,280
we use our mailing list a lot for a communicating
with numbers for starting dates

280
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:23,000
of our meetings for asking members to get a

281
00:21:23,750 --> 00:21:27,010
and the other thing is that you
should convince your friends

282
00:21:27,450 --> 00:21:27,960
well just

283
00:21:31,650 --> 00:21:36,400
starting out especially we found
that we had to give talks a lot

284
00:21:37,050 --> 00:21:42,220
and it was pretty hard at first to
get people in the in the group

285
00:21:42,220 --> 00:21:43,680
to present

286
00:21:44,550 --> 00:21:46,250
and so you

287
00:21:46,760 --> 00:21:50,680
i would be willing to step up to back
whenever there's an these five

288
00:21:51,340 --> 00:21:58,130
and just share your knowledge and trying
to form so that people are become you

289
00:21:58,130 --> 00:22:00,280
know comfortable contributing what thing

290
00:22:02,940 --> 00:22:06,250
so the other thing that we think

291
00:22:06,820 --> 00:22:14,660
is that we see free software as
something that people can use

292
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:16,110
to enhance their

293
00:22:17,190 --> 00:22:22,640
if they can on learn they can use
it so vertical they can read the

294
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:30,370
source code you can modify it on they can
provide they can distract through using

295
00:22:30,370 --> 00:22:32,600
and developing free software

296
00:22:34,050 --> 00:22:38,520
well one thing that we do it's not is
that oftentimes people why and write

297
00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:39,390
your software

298
00:22:39,780 --> 00:22:41,200
at work

299
00:22:41,640 --> 00:22:44,970
first social media et cetera and so

300
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,660
we try to not be basic we try not to be judgement

301
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,280
we try to encourage people and keep it

302
00:22:57,650 --> 00:22:58,300
and

303
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:00,590
that's our so

304
00:23:02,580 --> 00:23:03,570
you are the links

305
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,390
and i give i talk really that's why

306
00:23:14,550 --> 00:23:15,600
we have any spend

307
00:23:23,150 --> 00:23:31,020
i but most what we use for which use
should we have the existing more

308
00:23:31,660 --> 00:23:37,490
so actually but what happened was that there
had analogue in the chicago area that

309
00:23:37,490 --> 00:23:40,900
had become that had that was no longer act

310
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:43,480
that started that i at which is that

311
00:23:43,950 --> 00:23:48,720
school area and then it not and at the for
a number of years and

312
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:51,590
so we started out just doing they can you know

313
00:23:52,410 --> 00:23:59,930
and as we kind of found that was working
as well we sort of resurrected

314
00:23:59,930 --> 00:24:05,460
a lot and so we did end up having
some people who had part of

315
00:24:05,460 --> 00:24:07,700
a lot of what which was where i hope

316
00:24:10,310 --> 00:24:16,590
but we did and that fill sort of resurrecting
like the philly sound that in

317
00:24:16,590 --> 00:24:17,060
building

318
00:24:18,490 --> 00:24:23,350
so this point you to or we just to

319
00:24:24,520 --> 00:24:31,570
we should what was no i would say
i mean someone is i that hesitant

320
00:24:31,570 --> 00:24:33,230
about giving this talk to the you know

321
00:24:33,910 --> 00:24:38,780
because we started out really need don't focus
and that was kind of my interesting

322
00:24:38,780 --> 00:24:45,770
being involved but in the and what we
what we are doing is we're doing

323
00:24:45,770 --> 00:24:48,370
two hours of talks about three hours of have

324
00:24:49,180 --> 00:24:50,810
and the hacking events

325
00:24:51,660 --> 00:24:56,300
we have people work on you know and
during the talks we do a lot

326
00:24:56,300 --> 00:25:01,990
of you know related talks and it's know
that the people organising are gonna

327
00:25:03,050 --> 00:25:05,750
so i would say that in some ways

328
00:25:06,470 --> 00:25:08,830
we are exactly part of the you know

329
00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,540
we've sort of we've sort of had to
broaden our for us because we have

330
00:25:13,540 --> 00:25:14,310
such a small

331
00:25:17,660 --> 00:25:22,560
well it's a will which will almost

332
00:25:23,580 --> 00:25:24,360
so we use

333
00:25:29,770 --> 00:25:31,350
you could use G really male

334
00:25:53,630 --> 00:25:53,820
but

335
00:25:57,940 --> 00:26:02,420
so what advice would you give to people
were you know sort of you know

336
00:26:02,420 --> 00:26:03,470
from your experience

337
00:26:03,850 --> 00:26:08,070
starting out new groups and then you give
a little bit of space already but

338
00:26:08,070 --> 00:26:08,900
which you

339
00:26:09,550 --> 00:26:12,620
would use you were to do it all over
again which you start with how

340
00:26:12,620 --> 00:26:13,770
to focus on them

341
00:26:16,020 --> 00:26:16,560
i think

342
00:26:17,580 --> 00:26:21,330
for me the focus it'll kind of the reason why got involved

343
00:26:21,830 --> 00:26:25,540
and that's and something that spend
really important to me and that i

344
00:26:25,790 --> 00:26:26,770
try to

345
00:26:27,060 --> 00:26:27,730
keep going

346
00:26:28,340 --> 00:26:29,780
and so i don't

347
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:31,500
i don't think i will

348
00:26:32,260 --> 00:26:37,300
lose the focus on you know i think
that is something that i feel is

349
00:26:37,300 --> 00:26:37,830
an important

350
00:26:38,620 --> 00:26:39,090
where

351
00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,670
but i do you think that

352
00:26:42,570 --> 00:26:45,760
i mean it it's hard to get people involved in software

353
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:50,790
it's kind of at a help that a lot of ways we

354
00:26:51,770 --> 00:26:53,080
and so

355
00:26:53,670 --> 00:26:57,150
we sort of try to do whatever works

356
00:26:57,670 --> 00:26:58,470
is all

357
00:26:59,010 --> 00:27:02,820
making people interested and excited about

358
00:27:03,670 --> 00:27:07,410
just the gina project and just saw for in general

359
00:27:08,670 --> 00:27:13,290
so as a result of that i think you know i mean you know

360
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:15,070
if you look at

361
00:27:15,750 --> 00:27:16,980
all of the projects that are

362
00:27:18,020 --> 00:27:18,280
okay

363
00:27:19,500 --> 00:27:20,110
you know and

364
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:22,000
these are

365
00:27:22,740 --> 00:27:27,010
and do you buy these are things that
people outside i can do you

366
00:27:27,450 --> 00:27:31,870
and so explaining how we fit into the larger

367
00:27:32,190 --> 00:27:37,420
free open source community has that really interesting
thing i have sort of helps people

368
00:27:37,420 --> 00:27:37,980
to sort of

369
00:27:38,570 --> 00:27:38,930
what

370
00:27:39,820 --> 00:27:43,110
just sort of what you know in a certain place and there

371
00:27:43,890 --> 00:27:47,870
as a group that isn't just isolated

372
00:27:48,910 --> 00:27:49,530
elements

373
00:27:51,450 --> 00:27:54,240
making decisions kind of without listening to you

374
00:27:54,660 --> 00:27:57,650
but so are a group that's providing

375
00:27:58,320 --> 00:27:59,830
second used by

376
00:28:05,180 --> 00:28:10,330
thank you for your told to i everything
that you to say that there's been

377
00:28:10,330 --> 00:28:17,380
some pictures used some possibilities for know
quality about two works generally able to see

378
00:28:17,380 --> 00:28:23,520
how do you do you do face a to discreetly
seasonal and how would you

379
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:29,560
try to do these group of course try
to do that to change the point

380
00:28:29,560 --> 00:28:32,010
of view a the altar for you

381
00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:38,310
so i think i think things that we did were first it's a

382
00:28:39,650 --> 00:28:44,480
a three stopper in general are the other
thing that we try to do is

383
00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,620
to help people or how to use get
a three and to talk about you

384
00:28:48,620 --> 00:28:53,510
know three and what's happening in the ghetto
project and what people are working on

385
00:28:53,920 --> 00:28:59,740
and how the vision of the ball and
sort of present what we want to

386
00:28:59,740 --> 00:29:04,680
have happen in the future and you know
how to get project use itself

387
00:29:05,470 --> 00:29:09,930
and i think in a way that's sort
of where we've seen a change

388
00:29:10,370 --> 00:29:14,500
and how to is when people start to
see that this is something that

389
00:29:14,890 --> 00:29:16,200
we all people are working on

390
00:29:16,690 --> 00:29:20,940
and that this is something that we are actively
contributing to because we have a

391
00:29:20,940 --> 00:29:22,750
passion for free software

392
00:29:23,570 --> 00:29:32,610
a passion for development and then we seen people's
attitude share and become more open

393
00:29:32,610 --> 00:29:35,470
minded about saying well you know they'll tell us

394
00:29:35,980 --> 00:29:39,910
this doesn't work for me but they don't
see that as being something that will

395
00:29:39,910 --> 00:29:40,530
not for me

396
00:29:41,880 --> 00:29:43,520
it's you know something that

397
00:29:43,910 --> 00:29:44,850
someone is form

398
00:29:45,820 --> 00:29:50,320
i'm not you know maybe three months in the future
will be different and there

399
00:29:50,320 --> 00:29:50,870
will be improve

400
00:30:05,490 --> 00:30:06,090
any other

401
00:30:10,030 --> 00:30:10,430
thank you
