 Hi everyone, are you alright? I'm glad, but I don't think I am because I don't think I really belong here. I mean, I tried to do my developer as you may, and I think we have a problem. I'm not really a developer actually. As you can see, when my colleagues asked me to open a terminal, we just have a laugh. I can't. I can't for the life of me. I don't want to do like PT, get, do something, I just want to die. But, but, but, I contribute to free Libre and open source software every day, and I am paid for that. Actually, in France, I belong in a nonprofit called Formasoft, which, as you can see, are very serious people. We're a bunch of friends. We're really a bunch of friends, 35 members, 8 employees. And we just want to experiment things to, well, to make free Libre and open source software more known by our families, our friends, people who aren't really developers, you know, who aren't usually into free Libre and open source software. So, for example, we have a publishing house with novels, with, as you can see, a latex practical manual and also an essay. But we also have Frama Libre, which is a free Libre and open source software and not only software directory, where you can find, well, softwares, of course, but also nonprofits and movements and associations and also books and music and videos. Actually, Formasoft, we are in the nonprofit. Half of us are developers and take-saving people, and half of us are teachers and people who aren't into computers usually. And we really try to facilitate, well, free Libre and open source software and culture. We have more than 50 practical projects nowadays, and everything that we do, we estimate roughly because we don't profile people, we don't really don't want to. We estimate that it helps between 200 and 400,000 users each month. Last year, we came, we are French, of course, last year we came to talk about our Big Google 5 Internet project that we have been doing for three years between October 2014 and October 2017. So I'm going to go really quickly on this, but it is a three-step project. First, we have to raise awareness about big data companies, you know, Google, Amazon, Facebook and Microsoft. We have been in more than 100 events a year in French history to talk about the triple domination of those big data companies. Of course, they are the most important economical powers nowadays. It's not big oil, it's not big data. And actually, Facebook isn't in the top five anymore. I will tell you why in a few slides. With this economical power, they can buy innovation. They can buy every startup they want, and they can choose what our digital world is and will be. And they can choose to do actually what they want of us. So there is a technological domination, but also a cultural domination. This painting is a masterpiece by Gustave Courubé, which is called The Origin of the World, when you can see, well, a female genitalia in a closed group. I don't know how to close, yeah. And Facebook deleted the account who published this picture, which is in public domain. So there wasn't any copyright problem, you know. But Facebook deleted the account, and in the last few days, it has been determined that French tribunals can judge Facebook for that, because it has been four years just to determine if French tribunals are able to judge Facebook for some kind of abuse about its moral. So Facebook can impose its moral on every one of us. There is way, way too many things to talk about cultural domination and political domination, because, well, they are the biggest lobbyists in the world, but I can't do that right now. I don't have the time. When you talk about this triple domination to people like our family or friends, people who aren't tech-savies, they are really scared by those facts. And their answer is usually, well, okay, okay, but what do I do? There is only Google. There is nothing but Facebook. And you have to propose alternative. So we hosted more than 32 Freelive and Open Source softwares on our servers for people to use them as an alternative to Skype, to Google Docs, with Isopad, to, I don't know, with Transfer, with Luffy, and lots and lots and lots of softwares. Of course, we didn't just host, we don't just host those softwares, because when you host software like that, you have to accompany them with user documentation, with self-hosting documentation, with French localization when there isn't, or also with code, because you will need some features, you will need some bug fixes, so you'll have to code yourself. And we participate, we contribute it into that. But the danger when you have 32 services and about 200 to 400,000 people using your services is to become some kind of ethical French-speaking new Google. And of course, we don't want that. Actually, we want people to get out of our servers. Please get out. But for that, something for them to go to. So we participated in decentralization. Of course, we have our self-hosting documentation. Every time we host something, we document it so people can reproduce it. Of course. But it's nearly not enough. So we help, for example, the Why In Your Host distribution that facilitates self-hosting for web services with one day a week, all throughout 2017, one work day a week of developing so that all the free software that we use on our servers can be packaged and available for people who self-host with Why In Your Host. And we also created a collective, initiated a collective which is called Chaton, which is Kitten in French. The collective has decided that Chaton will be their name internationally. So this collective works kind of like a label for people who wants to use web services. A label where you know that there will only be free-lib software and also that there will be no data inquiry, data profiling and that advertisement that it will be transparent, defend net neutrality, of course, transparent about the economic model. Well, a label of trust. And on the other side, for the collective, well, it's a collective and collective helps you help each other and support each other. So now it's growing and we'll see that it won't be nearly enough. But please join and all fork. All the way the collective works is on git so that if you don't like Chaton, it will be fine. Just do the tigers or, I don't know, the wallabies. I don't care. But please, please, let's talk together because we can do great things together. Anyway, three years working like that, we are totally a little bit tired. Anyway, we learned lots of things because it's not perfect at all what we did. Of course it isn't. So what we learned is that, well, there is GAFAM and people have heard about GAFAM, but also NATO, Netflix, Airbnb, Tesla, Uber, but also Betix, Baidu, Alibaba, Tencent and Xiaomi. Tencent, which is now the fifth in the top five of the economical companies by market cap. Tencent is not the fifth. And it's not just those acronyms that excites media, you know. It's a culture. It's a system, philosophical and cultural system which is called by Shoshana Zuboff surveillance capitalism and the dream of a society of, you've all heard of transhumanism by Google and things like that, the dream of a society where we give all of our data and we are predictable and we are good consumers. And we dream in from a soft, and I think in the freelance software, we dream of another society. So please bear with me. This is the scary part. We have discovered, talking with people who aren't into freelance software, we have discovered to us what freelance software means. It means open source plus Essex. Because open source is doing great. It's Google. It's Facebook. It's Microsoft who are the biggest contributor to open source. But it's not exactly the same as Freelive. Because if you agree with this equation, it really means that open source is Freelive without any ethics. So yes, what we do is politic. And you know what? It's a good new because lots of other people are doing things politically, ecological activists, social activists, people who are just trying to have a karate room, dojo, or a theater play in their village or in their town. You know, those people are doing politics. And when you go and meet those people, as we did for three years, and when you tell them your values exist in the digital world, it's called the Freelive and open source software. They are just amazed as they just want to use it. Actually, we have people in our communities that just don't know that our communities exist. And maybe we are also into their communities. So it's really time to dream together of another society because when we dream of another society, we can make it happen then. Then by demonstrating, we learned a few things. You have here Discord and Mumble, two web audio chat applications. Discord is proprietary, Mumble is free, free Libre. I love Mumble and I'm not blaming them. But when I show Mumble interface to my gamer friends or to ecological activists, this is what they see. We suck at design and we have to admit it. And it's not Mumble's fault. I didn't do anything. I saw Mumble and how it works. And I didn't do anything. I didn't go and have a beer with a designer, with a UX person or ergonomes or graphics. I didn't want and say, hey, what could we do? How could we work and go and see Mumble? I say, how could we do something? It's also my fault. It's not to blame Mumble or anyone else. We have to be better at welcoming other talents than developing talents. By the way, the show of horns, who here has used in the last 12 months LibreOffice. Everyone, VLC. Everyone. I'm not going to do them all, but maybe Isopad, an Isopad instance. Half the room. Okay, great. And also, well, I don't know. So here are some numbers. I am not a developer. I had to have them explained. These are the numbers of developers who have more than 100 or 50 commits in the last 12 months for those softwares. What I had to understand is that a software always needs new code and people who know their code who commits regularly because a software has to fix its bugs or to be up-to-date with all the environment or to have new design and be modern or have new features. Does those look, because I'm not a professional here, does those look like healthy softwares? We use them every day and we, as a community, don't care enough for them because we lack contribution. Because we lack people coming and contributing to them. So, okay, we must care together. That's another lesson. Okay, maybe it's a hard one, but we must care more together and tend for those comments because free-dip software and commands needs care. And by decentralizing, we learned that you really need to work on the welcoming aspect. For example, on the Chateau network, we are not good enough, as from Assoft, who wanted this network and who initiated it. We haven't given as much time and as much care and as much knowledge as we wanted to, so we need that. We need more time. And also, this is how we describe on a free-dip encyclopedia, Wikipedia, the free-dip licenses. Will you use that to explain your passion to your family at Christmas dinner? Will you use this image? I'm serious. Of course I won't. I have way better ways to say that and I think I'm not the only one in this room that you have some metaphors, you have some little tips, some know-how to explain free-dip software, to explain licenses, how does it work? But we haven't, as a community, taken time to share all this knowledge, all this know-how, to pass on the knowledge together. So, okay, that's another lesson. See, if I sum up those lessons, okay, I'm going to sound like a fucking marketing motto, and I'm sorry about that, dream like a utopist. I do love the word utopia because utopia means that exist in no place. That is, to me, the definition of what I do on the Internet. It exists in no place. So dream like a utopist, it means dreams and then do things, reach out like a shower, carry like a commander. Okay, those are the lessons. Challenge accepted. What will we do for the next three years? This is called contributopia. This is our roadmap for the next three years. So, three years and 12 actions, all those actions are in some way or another related to those lessons that I've just taken time to tell you. So we have to create services, but those services, like from a site, from a meet, from a petition, from a tube, and all of them are drawing in this illustration that I really love, David Révoix, great illustrator. All of them are thought outside, for example, of Gaffin Box. From a tube, there has been a talk just before myself, is a decentralized, federated kind of YouTube using peer-to-peer broadcasting. Why? Because Google won't ever do that. Google needs centralization to centralize all our data, all our attention. So let's think outside the box. All those tools, we also share them in their beta version so that every user can come and tell us, okay, I would like this, I think that. I feel that this interface should be, well, it makes me feel like this or like that. And having this feedback is really important to try to improve together. Already we have contributions on Formatube, for example, and from Acid. How do we love decentralizing? Well, let's take time for the Chateau because we need this network, Hoster's network. We need to share so much with them because there is so much to do together. Where you know hosts, we are going to continue support where you know hosts and find out how to facilitate self-hosting with them. So internationalization. We really don't want people, English-speaking people using our services because there are way too many French-speaking people right now. But maybe sharing our experience will help other to adapt what we did into their country, into their culture with specific, I don't know, specific structural problems or specific cultural problems that we don't have. So maybe it's important just to document our experience. And France of Winter of Code, because Winter is coding. Okay, we have the joke, we kept the title for that. It's not Google of Code because we don't have Google's money, but let's find a way, a platform for people who have talent for a freely and open source project who needs talent and people who have money that can pay talent on those projects to connect together. Just that it will be something more than the quite nothing we have facing Google Summer of Code right now. And this is the last world that we have to explore but we don't know exactly what it's going to be because exactly how we're going to do that because all those projects are being thought right now by our users, by our communities, by the people who are interested in those projects. So we just know that we want to do those kind of things. I mean, a university of the people on the internet, what does it look like? I don't have a fucking clue. We know that we would like that because it would be great and it would help a lot to like that. But, well, if we want to imagine it together, just come and join. So this is our world map for the next three years until 2020. I just well wish you can want to journey with us to those beautiful worlds and contribute. Thank you. We don't have time for questions, I think. See? One or two questions. Okay, make it short. The one of the Cloud Runes system that is quite similar to, you know, host? Cloud Runes. Cloud Runes, yes. Yes, there are lots and lots of systems that exist, Cloud Runes. There is Cosy Cloud also, Wayne Host, lots and lots of systems. Rise Up did what we did way, way, way before us, for example, Rise Up in the US. So there are lots and lots of people doing what we did and I think, well, we have started to map all those people and we want to start to talk to each other and network with each other because we have a lot to share and more people will do it if we start documenting all of that. Another question maybe? One short question. One short one, okay. Paying for your services that you provide. Okay, how are we paying? Thank you because I haven't talked about that. I'm sorry, thank you very much. Well, I have the 2017 numbers more than 85% of the money we have comes from donation. 95% it's almost everything comes from donation and what I like to repeat is that our number of users between 200 and 400,000 people and in 2017 we have about 3,500 people who donated to us money. And I think that's a very interesting dynamic model. It can be reproduced everywhere. I know it can't be reproduced everywhere but very interesting model because people who wants freely services aren't discriminated upon the money they have in the bank account and I really like that. So it all comes from donation except for selling a few t-shirts and books and things like that.
