 So, welcome to my station, and I will just introduce myself, my name is Gabriela, I'm also a pilot. And I've been to Canada for some of the membership committees here for the last year. And we've seen the next year, as the new membership committee has just been elected. And so we have to decide, you know, soon who will be the next steps for the moment. And we've told them, you know, officially I'm still the general public. I'm here to talk about the community, another membership, which is something that is close to each other because, you know, usually we invite people from the community to join the foundation and to enrich our foundation in this way. So, where are we going? This is the agenda, we'll see what's the current situation. Where are the areas, the countries where we are missing, especially in Barclay because we are here and we are currently also by conveyance. So I tried to, let's say, look to the current situation here. Then some, my proposal to rural community, my and your proposal because they thought it would be probably more a debate than I thought it would be. I would like to have a say. And finally, some GDPR stuff, I will quickly explain. This is the current situation in numbers. And please, I know it's unreadable, but I will tell you. The status means that at the moment we don't have so much data from members and so we have to cast them. That's why the numbers are, let's say, roughly, and maybe not so precise but they are not a moment to do we have a situation to have another look of the situation of our community. As of the data of July 17 from the website, we have 195 members of a foundation. This has not been a community, a foundation. People who are part of the community but who also apply to be part of the foundation and actually currently he or she is. The first, you know, stunning detail is that we just have about 17 women which is roughly about 9% really few of them. And this is something that we'd like to strive to achieve and increase. I mean, that's why we also liberate this group of four. And for the rest, let's say that this is more or less in order of, you know, the most, sorry, the most number of each country. So Germany is leaking, let's say, with 35 members. I didn't calculate the percentage. But, you know, the numbers taking itself could be, wow, 35, they are living. But if we do also to the history, we know that this number is decreasing. So this doesn't mean that Germany is okay and we don't have to do anything about Germany because the number has been increasing. So even Germany, in Germany, we should do something to gain back the trust of people and then become part of the community and most of all part of the foundation. We are aware that the people who is member of the foundation is called, the membership is called Board of Trustee. This means that people who belong to the foundation trust the foundation. And the difference of who wasn't there between a community member and a member of the foundation is that since you are coming to give your effort to our project, if you take part of the foundation, you gain the right to vote and to be voted. And so to have your say to the governance of the foundation itself. Then we have 19 members roughly from Italy and it's all thanks to each other who is pushing, not only him obviously, but his leader of our community. It is true. And then we have 13 from Brazil, 9 from France, 8 from India and more or less 8 from Taiwan. It's correct me because disaster again is that we don't have precise data and we talk about this later because we don't ask your country but when you are applying to become a member of the foundation we don't ask you to just supply any information we just ask the main content because we need to reach you for how you are naming us a name and that's it. So we don't ask any other data. So the one you see is just a guest and trust me it is not that easy sometimes This is a man made by that man about the coverage let's say of the document foundation after that. The library means that we have people who belong to the community that is not a member of the foundation while the documentary means that they are both part of the community. Let's say that being part of the foundation implies also that of the community obviously. So what are the lacking areas and missing areas of the missing countries surely in all of Africa as you have seen and the rest of the world meaning the few countries we should look for which is I don't know. We need to have a well-known race there. And something here. This is from Kastio. He is a Zed by Chan, took many stun at Tajikistan. I just want to see if you are a... A meteorographer. You were going to sleep. I was going to go to a van and Afghanistan, took many stun, bearded stun, and touchy stun, great, great, thank you, really. Well, so you won't have anyone in Afghanistan as well but of course we would, I think that there is a different meaning in not having anyone in these countries and not having anyone for instance as a member in these countries and in these countries. Because here they have, let's say that they are developing and therefore maybe the open source situation in those countries is not as up to the level it is in Europe or while there is a big open source community in all this, in all South America, in each country of South America and we badly miss members from Colombia and I mean, there are, I would say the community, there is thousands of people. We have people that is working, that is organizing events. So I am a researcher on different sources. So for instance, in Algeria there is a group of treasure speaking people that are organizing events but they do not even think about becoming PDF members but they organize events. We have in Roberto, here in Peru, he organizes a full day event on the office and when I asked him why you don't apply for membership the answer was what's for. So unfortunately this is the situation and they, for several reasons, language which is probably the first, the fact that no one from PDF has ever traveled to these countries and of course you can say which is the meaning. I went to Indonesia in February, March and frankly it was there but I can't tell you the impression that I had that I was a walking monument during the conference. You know, people were addressing me that I was a kind of idol, I mean a normal person and frankly it was there but in East Asia so my weight, apart from the body weight was higher than frankly weight because I was coming from Europe so the fact that I traveled 14 hours to get to Indonesia had a different meaning that I traveled 3 hours and you know, it's psychological it's not different. Yeah, I don't know, I mean because frankly you could do it it's itself what I did there but the meaning of the person traveling from Europe is a different one when I was in Taiwan one year and two months ago I was amazed because there were other members of the community that were asking frankly if they could ask me a question in English like you know, you are a bridge between the idol and the community and I'm a normal person people that know me know that I'm a little bit peculiar but I'm a nice person normally so I think this is the issue that we have we have to talk with these guys and I think that the speech that Naruhi Hosani is really we must build a bridge within the local community and let's call it the central community there is not a central community but what is perceived as being the central community I'm missing, obviously I just, you know, recap the rest of the world because there are so many countries but if we focus on it in this area and focus on it I say that we should have six people from Albania who are the same who I have to say many many thanks because they are organizing this wonderful conference one from Bosnia, one from Romania one from Slovenia, six from Turkey and one from there and two from there three more, great, great, brilliant and so if you know they are 15, not so bad probably we should have put here our question mark instead of the exclamation mark because it's a point of view obviously maybe not so bad but it's always better to increase and to grow and again, just like in Germany's situation this doesn't mean that we don't have to do anything in that area because it's the opposite anyway, we should probably care much but we miss from Bulgaria Croatia from Bosnia and Herzegovina I just put our question mark because the perception is we couldn't always go Bosnia and Herzegovina the official name is Bosnia and Herzegovina but probably I didn't want to have heard of because I've been feeling there is a gentleman from Sarajevo which is not here today but from Bosnia and Herzegovina is the second conference is a dance it's not a member yeah remember to push him he works in the administration and maybe he wants to feel good okay but he could be a member in Kosovo I've been there to a conference and we had an entire afternoon on LibreOffice and Kramil Brestovic, who is the organizer has never asked to be a member and he ran the workshop together with me so there is probably some misperception of what being a member means or not for instance, Andrea we know well each other he contributes to the code okay, he applied yesterday because we told him that he would not come back to Italy alive so this is but he was not even aware of TDF membership and he asked 200 more comments on the code in this year yes indeed the problem is also about the knowledge and the recognizement of membership what is this membership that's why I used to explain it always in my speech and even if this speech is not about what is the membership we must for who doesn't have anyway yes, north of Macedonia and to neighbour of Romania and Serbia so we're missing from this area but there's one why do with these people do with this yes, members from countries some of the reasons are roughly being told by and say that I tried to to get some of these reasons but I want to hear from you also my perception is also for example that there is a poor knowledge in general in information technology and especially in what are the subtle licenses this may to be honest I mean I'm talking about the subtle licenses when I was already old but when I was young I was playing with computers and so on I just heard about some of these things I really didn't care this could be lack of knowledge for cultural habits in the country maybe also that particular country the generation of which considers our crime to use pirate software so maybe people is using illegal copying of Windows or Microsoft they don't care because maybe they don't know or it is not crime in that country who knows so probably they don't know about open source and then it's not so in this case it's about letting down those things so it's about education and that's what we should address if this is a reason but maybe it's censorship I don't know I don't want to say something wrong let's imagine maybe in China for example it is not I guess maybe something is or some website is not reachable there is also another reason which is the misperception of the contributions of the world so I had to convince frankly to apply for membership 3 years ago I think and when I went to Indonesia I met Andika Trividada for the first time and I said Andika you should be a member and he said why? I'm not doing nothing he said you are localizing in Indonesia all the software by yourself and I'm going to tell you another thing Andika had the confidence as Andika is a good job so for Indonesian standards he earned a lot of money he doesn't earn a lot of money but for Indonesian standards he earned a lot of money he bought 20 t-shirts that I wrote there and he gave the 20 t-shirts to students to encourage them to contribute to the free office and I think that he's a member now because I told him I'm not living in Indonesia if you don't apply for membership and since that we did that we won't be there but I had to insist with him that job is not doing anything because probably enjoys doing what he does he does as a volunteer but the reality is that even if he enjoys it he doesn't find it as a burden I think it deserves to be a member because it's a recognition by the global community knowing that Andika is doing that incredible job in Indonesia he has to be recognized as being a member that you are contributing is also for the others to recognize you as a contributor and again a way to have a say on the world and by the way frankly not so three years ago was the same what I'm doing you are moving your country to open source I think he's enough exactly I think he's enough and now I think he's part of the world of directors that's what I mean he became a member and then he was worshipped by most of the people I mean he does he got a lot of girls and now it's hard to do that I will be really steering this foundation at least with the national maybe his perception is professional it seems that many of the people who are contributing in the liberal other cross-democracy are majorly being professional in the computer science or architecture or engineering but in other people they are about to say no but very weird like I have no background in computer science I'm in public administration but maybe we can play in other not only computer science but in my foundation this is also something to be well explained to people this is more about the community than the membership but as I said before it's related you don't have to be an IT person it could be whatever kind of skill you have I mean I'm the best example I have a green literature and I got it in 1978 when the last T-Rex left Italy but the contribution maybe in whatever field not only IT but we have to provide documentation we have to make videos we have to check screen shots we have to do we have a private team of organizing that encourages people in other fields in public administration maybe in public literature to join our to join our community another important point it's a good point usually people working in the public administration even if they don't have the decision power they make anyways or they may see the idea and I would say this this perception is that I'm not in any of IT what I came to do here what I came to not be here and I quit we have to attract this explaining how many things you could do and not necessarily IT not only something else and I would like to have your opinion and probably we just meet after because we we're going to be late I'm sorry about that this is my proposal to grow to grow our community I would say have meetings attend meetings because the human relationship is something really strong I think for everyone for example I'm a public administration committee so I see on my screen all the names but how much is important to me to meet you and give to those names an image or picture but most but more than this to give a feeling and some life some life experience and really what I mean when we went together we've been together we have one full time together spend time together this is a life experience this is a key point the human relationship is always a key point so attending and chant during the breaks for example approaching people and know each other this is something and then in my blog if you attend in my blog is joined at least and first opportunity to be a member of the government foundation this is the center of my presentation we would like to open we are thinking about collecting more data in this mirror is the opposite of the trend because of the GDPR the trend is to avoid collecting data at all but we are just thinking about something at the end we would like to have more data for what reason to grow our membership for example we have seen before we are counter facing and to focus on that countries which is missing and to do that we need to know what the country we are missing the data I will show you is guessed by him and by me why something different is if you give us more data we can use statistics and do something more precise so for example we thought it should be the country most living in as a map has shown or other spoken languages because we may need let's say translated into Spanish Spanish to be common but in a strange language maybe someone let's imagine about a ban imagine that in Italy we have lots of banning maybe we may need some banning more in the winter most of the time so it's not about a country not only about the country you live in it's also the language problem for instance the leader of the Mongolian community lives in Germany in Munich but he is the guy that localizes in Mongolia and coordinates the localization now he's Mongolian of course he's married with a German woman so he moves to Germany and that's why it may be a silly question could women please write their hands try one one, two, three maybe a silly question because if I see you it's obvious to see they're women but when I have names on screen especially with with all the respect with other Asian names who knows, it's the male from a certain point of view this is a sensible data because you may want to disclose this data to me that it's respectable but if we want to grow we call it the big ratio to improve diversity to improve diversity or provide many services yes exactly especially for men how to do that if we don't know if you officially ask me how many women do we have in our members in our foundation my official answer is I can know because we can collect such a data so the question is what's your part what's your thought about this what would be the data you think that could help the foundation please have a second some attribution is like everything it will be very sensitive indeed, yes there's very two-read double-read yes so we talk about the agenda but the age for example interesting data to understand when the foundation is getting to old and what it's time to find new members young members for example to let the foundation be always fresh let's say because we naturally grow it's really bad it won't be similar to some problems about making a question here yes I guess there's people that don't want this and that's the next question how many of you have some kind of trauma with privacy let's say they felt that their data has been published somehow and they have been frightened by someone else just you Michael no one else great finally this is just one or two words about that in Europe we have this nightmare which is called GDPR general data production regulation so I won't explain all of that but let's say being extremely synthetic the law says that the members in this data people have to know and deserve to know what data we have of that and why do we keep that and when I mean how long we do keep this data and for what reason we need so that's a challenge we're working on this because we would like to have more data but on the other hand we ask it's such a regulation which is not hoping to make the European regulation because the regulation is just the answer to a trend a worldwide trend to let's say have more privacy the right to the right to correct the right to oblivion because the problem here is that one century ago we didn't have internet but now we have and once you write something wherever on the internet so that's why this worry this feeling of everyone is worried about his privacy and this trend to not disclose any more data and you know what that's candle what was the name of the company English company yeah Cambridge Analytica so I think we should be so curious about the GPR because all about the GPR is that you have to deliver the person who gives the data that he's aware of what he's giving there so it's not about the question do I ask this data so be aware that this is in your data and makes them to give the possibility to opt out to say I want to hear this is in the room I'm hoping what we should do is to encourage people to provide more data and that's all oh please at two and a half day after the lunch we're going to have a session in track 2 about GPR this is something that Uwe who is someone really secure and probably Michael will give us some time out with our instructions and how to move to us the membership committee maybe you want to attend in one company
