00:00.000 --> 00:18.840
I think that's it, and for more information, check the slides, and also you can just Google

00:18.840 --> 00:45.440
for Raku-Somaki!

00:45.440 --> 00:47.440
How is it like you make a plan?

00:49.440 --> 00:50.440
It's just...

00:50.440 --> 00:52.440
I'm not over there.

00:52.440 --> 00:54.440
And there's a clicker if you want to.

00:54.440 --> 00:56.440
Perfect, thank you.

00:58.440 --> 01:00.440
You're going to be ready.

01:08.440 --> 01:12.440
Everyone in this room is going to die.

01:12.440 --> 01:15.440
Not today, I hope, but eventually, sadly,

01:15.440 --> 01:18.440
I say sadly, this is nature of life that we all die.

01:18.440 --> 01:23.440
Now, does anyone know what happens after we die?

01:23.440 --> 01:24.440
No.

01:24.440 --> 01:26.440
Well, we do know what happens.

01:26.440 --> 01:28.440
If you're really, really famous,

01:28.440 --> 01:30.440
someone puts a statue up to you.

01:30.440 --> 01:34.440
She's pretty cool, but they're not putting up statues to people

01:34.440 --> 01:38.440
who rewrite Linux drivers in JavaScript.

01:38.440 --> 01:41.440
So what happens to the rest of us?

01:41.440 --> 01:45.440
Well, my wife and I like to go walking whole days.

01:45.440 --> 01:49.440
We walk around and almost everywhere you walk, you will see a bench.

01:49.440 --> 01:53.440
And on quite a lot of those benches, a little memorial plaques.

01:53.440 --> 01:55.440
And they usually say something like,

01:55.440 --> 01:57.440
to Auntie Joan, who loved the view here,

01:57.440 --> 02:00.440
or to my darling son, so taken too soon.

02:00.440 --> 02:05.440
And it's amazing just seeing all these little expressions of love,

02:05.440 --> 02:08.440
just dotted around the world.

02:09.440 --> 02:12.440
And while we were walking, we occasionally took photos,

02:12.440 --> 02:15.440
and we went, someone must have a list of these, right?

02:15.440 --> 02:18.440
You know, like, the local council probably has a list of these benches.

02:18.440 --> 02:21.440
And it turns out, no, no one does.

02:21.440 --> 02:24.440
No one knows where they are, or who put them there,

02:24.440 --> 02:26.440
and you might be able to apply to your council to get them,

02:26.440 --> 02:28.440
but there's no central list.

02:28.440 --> 02:31.440
So we'll make a quick website,

02:31.440 --> 02:33.440
and you can take a photo and upload it,

02:33.440 --> 02:35.440
which we've been doing for the last few years.

02:35.440 --> 02:38.440
It's called Open Benches.

02:38.440 --> 02:41.440
And it's kind of got a little out of hand,

02:41.440 --> 02:45.440
because since, oh, please say there is internet on this machine.

02:48.440 --> 02:51.440
Since we launched it a few years ago,

02:51.440 --> 02:54.440
click on, let's find an interesting one.

02:54.440 --> 02:55.440
There we go.

02:55.440 --> 03:01.440
This is for Friedrich and Iberharts on their Golden Anniversary.

03:01.440 --> 03:03.440
I'm assuming that's what that says.

03:03.440 --> 03:05.440
So they put a bench there.

03:05.440 --> 03:07.440
And so the basics of this,

03:07.440 --> 03:09.440
if I are, you will ground,

03:09.440 --> 03:11.440
you see a bench with a little inscription

03:11.440 --> 03:13.440
you take a geotag to photo,

03:13.440 --> 03:15.440
you click add bench,

03:15.440 --> 03:18.440
and you can just upload it from there.

03:18.440 --> 03:19.440
There's OCR on the site,

03:19.440 --> 03:21.440
so you don't need to optical character recognition.

03:21.440 --> 03:23.440
So you don't need to type in the inscription.

03:23.440 --> 03:24.440
It does that for you,

03:24.440 --> 03:25.440
there are some tags,

03:25.440 --> 03:27.440
and it will display a thing.

03:27.440 --> 03:29.440
You can also sign in.

03:29.440 --> 03:31.440
Again, I really can't be bothered

03:31.440 --> 03:33.440
by covering people's passwords.

03:33.440 --> 03:35.440
So this uses authors zero,

03:35.440 --> 03:37.440
and you can sign in with mastered on and discord

03:37.440 --> 03:39.440
and other social networks.

03:39.440 --> 03:41.440
I'm not going to sign in on your machine, don't worry.

03:41.440 --> 03:43.440
So let's take a look.

03:43.440 --> 03:45.440
The other thing we do is,

03:45.440 --> 03:49.440
so we geocode the bench.

03:49.440 --> 03:50.440
So, you know,

03:50.440 --> 03:52.440
we've got the latitude and longitude of Friedrich

03:52.440 --> 03:54.440
and Iberharts bench,

03:54.440 --> 03:56.440
and so we can say that this is in Berlin,

03:56.440 --> 03:57.440
Germany,

03:57.440 --> 03:58.440
we can do reverse geocoding.

03:58.440 --> 03:59.440
So if I click on Berlin,

03:59.440 --> 04:00.440
you should take me to,

04:00.440 --> 04:03.440
or zoom in slightly stutteringly there,

04:03.440 --> 04:04.440
to Berlin.

04:04.440 --> 04:05.440
There we go.

04:05.440 --> 04:06.440
These are all the benches,

04:06.440 --> 04:08.440
but not very benches in Berlin.

04:08.440 --> 04:09.440
Anyone here from Berlin,

04:09.440 --> 04:10.440
put more benches.

04:10.440 --> 04:12.440
Please find someone who you love,

04:12.440 --> 04:14.440
put a bench up to them.

04:14.440 --> 04:16.440
So there we go.

04:16.440 --> 04:18.440
We've got nice lists there.

04:18.440 --> 04:20.440
I'm going to show a random bench,

04:20.440 --> 04:22.440
because that's always fun.

04:22.440 --> 04:25.440
So people put them up in all sorts of,

04:25.440 --> 04:28.440
beautiful and interesting places.

04:28.440 --> 04:30.440
And this is why I sort of describe it as a,

04:30.440 --> 04:32.440
as a bit of psychogography,

04:32.440 --> 04:36.440
because you can start to see where the beautiful places are in the world.

04:36.440 --> 04:39.440
No one puts a bench somewhere completely,

04:39.440 --> 04:41.440
but actually that's not true.

04:41.440 --> 04:43.440
Let's just,

04:43.440 --> 04:47.440
so there's a supermarket chain in the UK called Sainsbury's,

04:47.440 --> 04:50.440
and people put up benches to their colleagues.

04:50.440 --> 04:51.440
You've worked for some of the years,

04:51.440 --> 04:53.440
and they do, you put up a thing,

04:53.440 --> 04:56.440
and some of them are in car parks.

04:56.440 --> 04:58.440
They're not the most picturesque view,

04:58.440 --> 05:00.440
but I dare say that rendezvous spent a lot of time there,

05:00.440 --> 05:02.440
and it's quite nice for his colleagues to walk past and go,

05:02.440 --> 05:05.440
yeah, that's where we're on use to sit.

05:05.440 --> 05:08.440
So what are the interesting and silly things that we have?

05:08.440 --> 05:10.440
Oh, there's G.O. Jason,

05:10.440 --> 05:12.440
so if you really like G.O. Jason,

05:12.440 --> 05:13.440
you can download all this.

05:13.440 --> 05:14.440
It's all free.

05:14.440 --> 05:15.440
It's all open source.

05:15.440 --> 05:16.440
It's all creative commons licensed,

05:16.440 --> 05:18.440
and everything like that.

05:18.440 --> 05:20.440
You can edit things.

05:20.440 --> 05:22.440
Now this is the other thing we've recently done,

05:22.440 --> 05:23.440
is we are not open street map.

05:23.440 --> 05:25.440
We're not trying to be open street map.

05:25.440 --> 05:26.440
This street map is brilliant,

05:26.440 --> 05:29.440
but it's like massive when we are very small.

05:29.440 --> 05:31.440
So when people upload these benches,

05:31.440 --> 05:34.440
we don't automatically add them to open street map,

05:34.440 --> 05:37.440
because the resolution that we have isn't good enough.

05:37.440 --> 05:39.440
If someone's taking a photo from over here,

05:39.440 --> 05:41.440
that's not where the bench is,

05:41.440 --> 05:45.440
but what you can now do is use map complete,

05:45.440 --> 05:48.440
open and edit the map,

05:48.440 --> 05:53.440
and this will allow you to say, hopefully,

05:53.440 --> 05:56.440
okay, so here is this bench.

05:56.440 --> 05:57.440
Is it actually that one?

05:57.440 --> 05:59.440
You can start, oh, you need to be logged in,

05:59.440 --> 06:02.440
but yeah, so you can start adding these benches

06:02.440 --> 06:06.440
to open street map if you like.

06:06.440 --> 06:11.440
And yeah, what I really want to tell people is that,

06:11.440 --> 06:15.440
you know, it's really cheap and easy to build something like this.

06:15.440 --> 06:18.440
The total open source, if you want to take it,

06:18.440 --> 06:21.440
but go around, explore the world around you,

06:21.440 --> 06:24.440
find little interesting places where people have gone.

06:24.440 --> 06:28.440
I want to leave a mark here, because someone I loved has gone.

06:28.440 --> 06:30.440
And just not exploring the world around you,

06:30.440 --> 06:35.440
and then maybe add it to a bench, add it to a site like this.

06:35.440 --> 06:38.440
I'm going to give you one last reason why you should do this,

06:38.440 --> 06:44.440
which is that when you add things to this,

06:44.440 --> 06:46.440
we'll just have a lead board,

06:46.440 --> 06:48.440
because everything needs gamification.

06:48.440 --> 06:53.440
And so thanks to jailbreakers uploaded 4,000 benches and 12,000 folks.

06:53.440 --> 06:56.440
I mean, this is my site, and I'm like down here,

06:56.440 --> 06:59.440
I've only uploaded a thousand of these.

06:59.440 --> 07:03.440
But yeah, please, if you see an interesting bench on your travels,

07:03.440 --> 07:05.440
please take a photo and upload it.

07:05.440 --> 07:06.440
And if you see something interesting,

07:06.440 --> 07:08.440
oh, there must be loads of these around the world.

07:08.440 --> 07:11.440
Please just start collecting them and putting them somewhere.

07:11.440 --> 07:13.440
Thank you very much, everyone. Cheers.

07:13.440 --> 07:18.440
Thank you.

07:44.440 --> 07:46.440
Thank you.

07:46.440 --> 07:47.440
Thank you.

07:47.440 --> 07:49.440
You sure you could put it in your pocket?

07:49.440 --> 07:50.440
Yes.

07:56.440 --> 07:57.440
Like this?

07:57.440 --> 07:58.440
Okay.

07:58.440 --> 07:59.440
Oh.

07:59.440 --> 08:00.440
Thank you very much for wanting.

08:00.440 --> 08:01.440
Okay.

08:03.440 --> 08:05.440
Oh, start right now.

08:05.440 --> 08:06.440
Okay.

08:08.440 --> 08:10.440
Hello, my name is Stimus.

08:11.440 --> 08:18.440
I'm the leader, can you hear me?

08:18.440 --> 08:19.440
Yes, ma'am.

08:19.440 --> 08:20.440
Okay.

08:21.440 --> 08:24.440
I'm the leader of the beams,

08:24.440 --> 08:28.440
the biodiversity information management system.

08:31.440 --> 08:32.440
Okay.

08:36.440 --> 08:39.440
Let me start with the challenge we are dressing.

08:39.440 --> 08:41.440
The biodiversity data exists.

08:41.440 --> 08:43.440
In fact, there's a wealth of it.
