WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:09.000 All right, we're going to start one more time. 00:09.000 --> 00:11.000 Yeah. 00:11.000 --> 00:12.000 Hey, everybody. 00:12.000 --> 00:14.000 Welcome to Phasm 2020. 00:14.000 --> 00:16.000 Six. 00:16.000 --> 00:18.000 That was even better this second time. 00:18.000 --> 00:21.000 Welcome to the Legal and Policy Devroom. 00:21.000 --> 00:22.000 I'm Karen Stamler. 00:22.000 --> 00:26.000 I'm the Executive Director of the Software Freedom Conservancy. 00:26.000 --> 00:27.000 Hi, Matthias Kirchner. 00:27.000 --> 00:29.000 The President of the Free Software Foundation Europe. 00:29.000 --> 00:30.000 I think so. 00:30.000 --> 00:34.000 I'm the Policy Program Manager of the Free Software Foundation Europe. 00:34.000 --> 00:36.000 Richard Fontana. 00:36.000 --> 00:38.000 I'm a lawyer. 00:38.000 --> 00:42.000 I'm perfectly current on a policy fellow at the Software Freedom Conservancy. 00:42.000 --> 00:46.000 And I will mention Tom Marble, who was one of the co-founders of this Devroom. 00:46.000 --> 00:49.000 He had a last minute a reason he could not be here with us. 00:49.000 --> 00:51.000 But he has done so much work for this Devroom. 00:51.000 --> 00:55.000 And we want to just acknowledge that he's not able to join us this year. 00:55.000 --> 01:01.000 And actually, I mean, he is here with us because there's also a lot of work in the background with publishing the video. 01:01.000 --> 01:06.000 So he will be online and making sure that then all the videos go online. 01:06.000 --> 01:08.000 Is he actually awake? 01:08.000 --> 01:11.000 It's like two a.m. in his time zone. 01:11.000 --> 01:16.000 Well, yeah, we just thank you all for coming. 01:16.000 --> 01:18.000 I want to mention a logistical thing to start. 01:18.000 --> 01:21.000 There are some air meters for CO2 levels. 01:21.000 --> 01:23.000 It's a good proxy reading for how good the air is. 01:23.000 --> 01:25.000 There's one in the back at that pole. 01:25.000 --> 01:27.000 There's one right here and there's one up front. 01:27.000 --> 01:30.000 They're already reading relatively bad air. 01:30.000 --> 01:33.000 And I got COVID last year at Fazem. 01:33.000 --> 01:37.000 Such that I missed my own keynote at Fazem last year due to COVID. 01:37.000 --> 01:40.000 Gabriel and I speak her also got COVID at Fazem. 01:40.000 --> 01:46.000 I really encourage you to wear masks if you're not speaking or asking your question in a session. 01:46.000 --> 01:48.000 We have masks at the SFC booth. 01:48.000 --> 01:52.000 I forgot to bring some over earlier, but I'll bring some and they'll be here by the afternoon. 01:52.000 --> 01:55.000 If you don't have a mask, but you can also go over there. 01:55.000 --> 01:58.000 I've seen booth in K and get one. 01:58.000 --> 01:59.000 What's that? 01:59.000 --> 02:02.000 Why we are at safety measures. 02:02.000 --> 02:10.000 So in case anything happens, please leave the building quietly and slowly together with all of us. 02:10.000 --> 02:15.000 And yeah, so that's one thing here from the organizers. 02:15.000 --> 02:19.000 We're extremely excited about the content that we have lined up for today. 02:19.000 --> 02:22.000 You can see the schedule online. 02:22.000 --> 02:27.000 If you have any questions or need anything over the course of the day, don't hesitate. 02:27.000 --> 02:30.000 And what we know that you're going to be leaving and other people will be coming. 02:30.000 --> 02:33.000 But definitely let us know if we can help you. 02:33.000 --> 02:43.000 We have a cancellation for one of our sessions later today, which is sad, but also exciting because that means we have a free slot. 02:43.000 --> 02:46.000 And we can do it with whatever we all want to do. 02:46.000 --> 02:49.000 So we've put up a feedback form. 02:49.000 --> 02:56.000 It's linked from the Fazem website or you can just go to sfc.ngo slash idea. 02:56.000 --> 02:59.000 And there's a little next cloud form and you can fill it out. 02:59.000 --> 03:01.000 Just suggest a topic. 03:01.000 --> 03:06.000 And if there's anybody here who you think would be good to speak on it, who you know is that Fazem and around. 03:06.000 --> 03:08.000 And you can get them to come. 03:08.000 --> 03:09.000 Let us know. 03:09.000 --> 03:13.000 Otherwise, we already have some suggestions from people. 03:13.000 --> 03:17.000 So, or you can just write it on a piece of paper and give it to one of us. 03:17.000 --> 03:19.000 And we're excited for that. 03:19.000 --> 03:21.000 It's a half hour session. 03:21.000 --> 03:24.000 And we already have quite a few good ideas. 03:24.000 --> 03:28.000 So, but we would rather talk about whatever it is you all want to hear. 03:28.000 --> 03:39.000 So definitely let us know and we'll put together a panel or a fishbowl or whatever session seems the best for that topic. 03:39.000 --> 03:42.000 It was a session by Sebastian Stick. 03:42.000 --> 03:54.000 So we have most of the day for you to get your suggestions and try to get your suggestions in by like. 03:54.000 --> 04:02.000 One or two this afternoon so that we have time to grab gather people and frantically message them and get them here. 04:02.000 --> 04:04.000 One quick feedback for us. 04:04.000 --> 04:08.000 Who of you was already before at Fazem? 04:08.000 --> 04:12.000 Okay, who was already before in this death room? 04:12.000 --> 04:21.000 It was like three quarters of the room had been to Fazem before and maybe about half had been to the legal and policy devroom. 04:21.000 --> 04:24.000 And for whom is it the first time? 04:24.000 --> 04:26.000 Oh. 04:26.000 --> 04:28.000 Well, that comes. 04:28.000 --> 04:31.000 So, one third to one half. 04:31.000 --> 04:32.000 Yeah. 04:32.000 --> 04:33.000 Very good. 04:33.000 --> 04:37.000 That's also good for all of us speaker. 04:37.000 --> 04:41.000 So I want to thank everybody for my core organizers. 04:41.000 --> 04:46.000 I did virtually nothing to help organize as usual, but I am here all day to help. 04:46.000 --> 04:47.000 So there is that. 04:47.000 --> 04:52.000 And I thank all my core organizers for actually doing all the work and appreciate it. 04:52.000 --> 04:55.000 That they tolerate how busy I am from November to January. 04:55.000 --> 04:57.000 I want to introduce our next speaker. 04:57.000 --> 05:01.000 Our first speaker Gabriel from the FSF Europe. 05:01.000 --> 05:06.000 Historically and traditionally we have designed the devroom to be more complex topics. 05:06.000 --> 05:08.000 On legal and policy. 05:08.000 --> 05:13.000 We've gotten a lot of feedback over the years that we have that many people do need in introduction. 05:13.000 --> 05:16.000 Many people want to hear the basics. 05:16.000 --> 05:30.000 And so we decided this was absolutely the perfect speaker to be the person to give you the introduction to legal and policy issues in free software and help understand how the legal issues in free software are to relate. 05:30.000 --> 05:33.000 So with that, I'd like to invite Gabriel up to the stage. 05:33.000 --> 05:34.000 We have to start? 05:34.000 --> 05:35.000 Nope. 05:36.000 --> 05:37.000 We have to wait till the start time. 05:37.000 --> 05:39.000 I thought we were like over. 05:39.000 --> 05:41.000 Gabriel, you're not allowed to come up yet. 05:41.000 --> 05:43.000 I am so sorry. 05:43.000 --> 05:44.000 Yeah. 05:44.000 --> 05:46.000 Well, Karen has more stuff to tell you. 05:46.000 --> 05:47.000 No, we have more things to answer. 05:47.000 --> 05:53.000 But we try to stick to the schedule because of the people who are participating remotely will tune in at the right time. 05:53.000 --> 06:00.000 And as Bradley said, what's good about this first talk is it will give people a grounding and then we have more advanced talks later. 06:01.000 --> 06:03.000 We want to remind you that there is a code of conduct. 06:03.000 --> 06:15.000 And again, as I said before, if anything happens that you want to reach out to us about whether it's a code of conduct issue or anything else, anything that you feel that is a challenge or making you uncomfortable. 06:15.000 --> 06:18.000 Definitely feel free to reach out to any of us. 06:18.000 --> 06:22.000 And maybe while was still half time for the last years. 06:22.000 --> 06:24.000 Oh, yeah, I see that there's one question. 06:24.000 --> 06:26.000 One second. 06:26.000 --> 06:36.000 One one thing we for the last years also tried to include all of the feedback from the community here for our next schedules. 06:36.000 --> 06:40.000 And so this now the start of this year's first term. 06:40.000 --> 06:47.000 But we would like to encourage you to provide us feedback and things that you were missing this year or things that you would like to see for next year. 06:47.000 --> 06:54.000 And tell us about that because we would be very interested to further improve it and make sure that we provide. 06:54.000 --> 06:56.000 So improvements over all those years. 06:56.000 --> 06:57.000 And that's also one thing. 06:57.000 --> 07:00.000 Bradley might have not done that much this year. 07:00.000 --> 07:08.000 But for the previous decade for this deaf room is establishing this as one of the institutions or foster. 07:08.000 --> 07:11.000 Well, you can also have one year where you're doing a little bit less. 07:11.000 --> 07:14.000 But yes, I see there was one question. 07:14.000 --> 07:16.000 So I will quickly go over there. 07:25.000 --> 07:32.000 Is it possible to turn the light off above the presentation? 07:40.000 --> 07:44.000 The power of we software. 07:44.000 --> 07:48.000 Thanks for that feature request. 07:48.000 --> 07:50.000 Merged. 07:50.000 --> 07:54.000 Have any other questions about the day before we begin. 07:54.000 --> 07:58.000 Does anyone have any questions about the two for begins. 07:58.000 --> 08:06.000 Otherwise maybe we'll take a quick few minute break before we start anybody have anything else that we want to say. 08:06.000 --> 08:13.000 I do want to second what Matthias was saying we definitely want your feedback every year. 08:13.000 --> 08:19.000 We iterate on this room and we make a different we've done some really wild things some of the years to try a completely new formats. 08:19.000 --> 08:28.000 We had a year where we did all debates and we have people sign up to debate teams as if it were like an American secondary school. 08:28.000 --> 08:29.000 Good situation. 08:29.000 --> 08:31.000 Anything is on the table. 08:31.000 --> 08:36.000 We really want to make sure that the content is useful to you all and that it stays interesting. 08:36.000 --> 08:40.000 Obviously the top state interesting because they're new every year. 08:40.000 --> 08:48.000 But really anything that you think of that you're like, you know, I would really appreciate it if they did this particular thing that would be fine. 08:48.000 --> 08:59.000 So also one of the things we will say at the end but since we have this awkward amount of time that I didn't know we had. 08:59.000 --> 09:07.000 We really encourage people who have not spoken on a legal and policy topic before to submit to this bedroom next year. 09:07.000 --> 09:14.000 Most of our speakers who are now regular speakers in our bedroom who are regular speakers on these kinds of topics. 09:14.000 --> 09:17.000 They were a first time speaker at some point in this bedroom. 09:17.000 --> 09:30.000 And we believe fundamentally that people who spend most of their time doing development and documentation and free software project management and community coordination. 09:30.000 --> 09:33.000 Also know a tremendous amount about these issues. 09:34.000 --> 09:47.000 We actually are very suspicious of lawyers presenting proposing talks in this room because we believe that the community understands the policies that they need and can talk about the issues that are concerned about. 09:47.000 --> 09:54.000 So if a topic excites you this year that you hear about that you think you have something to say, please submit a talk next year. 09:54.000 --> 10:03.000 And I think maybe the last point before I will switch the slides, but four of the people on the stage here work for a charitable organization. 10:03.000 --> 10:12.000 And I mean the topic of free software is something that is getting more and more important and relevant and there is more and more demand of the work. 10:12.000 --> 10:19.000 NGO is not profits are doing in this area, so that's not the fourth intervention here at the FSV. 10:19.000 --> 10:25.000 We would like to get 25 new supporters at this first because we have been here 25 years. 10:25.000 --> 10:30.000 The SFC I don't know if you also have a similar you also have promotion. 10:30.000 --> 10:36.000 There are other free software organizations here who also depend a lot on the donations of others. 10:36.000 --> 10:46.000 So please check them out and support them with a donation so that we and others can continue the work for free software. 10:46.000 --> 10:49.000 Executive director to executive director you're right. 10:49.000 --> 11:02.000 So we at SFC of software freedom conservancy have a match challenge that we have just through just through the day after for them to reach and we have to raise $26000 is where we are at now. 11:02.000 --> 11:08.000 And Tracy our operations manager is sitting at the stand like lowering the number as donations come in. 11:08.000 --> 11:11.000 So that would be very exciting if we were able to actually make that. 11:11.000 --> 11:16.000 The last thing I wanted to say is I'm going to add another field to the next cloud form about the feedback. 11:16.000 --> 11:18.000 If there's anything that you want to share for next year. 11:18.000 --> 11:27.000 Again, that's SFC dot NGO slash idea and it's on the page for the 430 talk along with a QR code. 11:27.000 --> 11:29.000 So feel free to use that. 11:30.000 --> 11:39.000 And since we we we we didn't intend to make Richard feel bad that he works for a full profit corporation, but I want to know if that Richard we did not intend that it was not an intention. 11:39.000 --> 11:47.000 But I'm sure it is a long standing community member has volunteered for so many different things not just this Debra organization committee. 11:47.000 --> 11:58.000 And I want to note that he has not promoted his employer and he made me carefully you did not mention your employer when you introduced yourself, which I think was very cool of you to not promote your employer just to be a community member. 11:58.000 --> 12:06.000 Yeah, I used to do that, but but yeah, I here I'm just a community member so. 12:06.000 --> 12:11.000 But I've been coming here for a long time and I really love it. 12:11.000 --> 12:13.000 Are we at. 12:13.000 --> 12:16.000 We have one more minute. 12:16.000 --> 12:23.000 So unfortunately because of my misunderstanding of the time differential that apparently I was living in. 12:23.000 --> 12:27.000 But I promise you I am in consensus reality and now I know what time it is. 12:28.000 --> 12:33.000 I will now redo the introduction of Gabriel for the recording. 12:33.000 --> 12:37.000 We made a decision this year to have. 12:37.000 --> 12:43.000 What is it now for what when when am I allowed to introduce this man please. 12:43.000 --> 12:52.000 I don't need to be a stickler, but if anybody is working like watching at home, they're not going to tune in until 445 and the intro is a different recording generally. 12:52.000 --> 12:57.000 Then the talk and we want to give our full respect to Gabriel because he's awesome. 12:57.000 --> 13:05.000 Every meeting at the software freedom conservancy we all arrived one minute early and we sit there and wait for Karen who arrives two minutes late. 13:05.000 --> 13:10.000 So I don't. 13:10.000 --> 13:13.000 Okay, Karen's occasionally early. It's true. 13:14.000 --> 13:23.000 So I think now I have made it to 1045 made it and I have allowed you have a is that is is your watch using NTP is that actually sink to a real. 13:23.000 --> 13:24.000 Okay. 13:24.000 --> 13:26.000 So we. 13:26.000 --> 13:28.000 We have the crowd of plot. 13:33.000 --> 13:36.000 Where? I can't see it. 13:37.000 --> 13:43.000 I'm not going to say anything more till somebody tells me I'm allowed to introduce Gabriel. 13:43.000 --> 13:44.000 Time's up.
