4 years ago danna m louis patient from
Type 1 diabetes used a device
blood glucose control whose alarm sounded
too weak
the fear that he would not wake up in
The middle of the night motivated him to
develop a control software with
a much more powerful alarm to the
principle was simply modifying its
software so that you connect to your
mobile phone and so use the alarm
of this but in 2015 with a raspberry
pi a computer little bigger than a
credit card a set of
medical devices and just a few
lines of code developed a
device that allowed him to control in
real time
and also adjust sugar measures
in blood
he shared all this and thanks to that to
over these years more than 600
people have built their own
artificial pancreas all because
because dan has shared his code not
just that but it has started a
movement we are not waiting for
press the manufacturers of
medical devices to suit
faster to the needs of the
patients in words of their own give to
patients are changing the
innovative processes of these companies
making them respond much faster
as he has done it thanks to the open
source and is that the offender is
bursting every day more in our
lives health in trade the
administrations or education
made in education has changed the
way in which we have to study
when it was the last one is that you consult
this an encyclopedia of buying it already
certainly we not talk because surely
if I ask you look for something you will go to the
wikipedia
and in 1995 war cunninghan created a
type of web software that allowed
several users modify the structure
and the content of a web page of that
mode the page did not belong to a single
person but that allowed the
collaboration among all and so
they adopted the changes much faster
This is what the wikipedia one
free modification encyclopedia with
many more entries than the own
britannica encyclopedia and subject less
failures since there are more job more eyes
posts on her
it’s more has tickets than the
British encyclopedia would never have
and all this because all this is for the
open source
but what is this from the opensource the open
source is something that is changing
our processes our daily life
making it sometimes much more
easy let’s think about the following open maps
open maps is a type of software that
allows any user to create
mapping their cities of their
peoples is not any user behind
of it we also have cartographers
professional amateur cartographers
engineers
see how life changes
humanitarian personnel adapt the
cartography based on disasters that
can happen
Of course, if we talk about maps, we can
think about tools that facilitate us
life as for example tools
that allow us to optimize our
trajetas weiss is an application that
allows any user to report
about the traffic situation this
makes your daily commute
dynamically adapt based on those
traffic situations or situations of
danger where any user can
alert of a vehicle parked in the
public road or an accident that has
occurred
clear if we think about traffic too
we can think about how it is within the
cities and in this open source the
cities also adapt behaviors
for example with smart cities maybe
not the users but we have
sensor sensors written with languages
and open source programs that
allow optimally adapt the
energy consumption of cities
even control of pollution
and I can imagine a future where
semaphores communicate with vehicles
well they do this there is an accident and
the traffic lights adjust the optimal path
closing traffic to other people
so that emergency vehicles
can circulate freely
even if we talk about cities
let’s think the cities have a government
and not all governments some is
true that they should learn they are
implementing government initiatives
open offering portals
transparent so that citizens
can participate in the development of their
towns of their cities as being at
day of proposals for expenses
of all the ideas that ultimately
they build our day to day
and if we talk about cities the cities
they are made up of people
and people have groupings and
these groupings also allow
other elements within the open source
like crowd sourcing or crowdfunding
so that we understand it in other words
let’s think about crowdsourcing I have the
idea of designing a dress
and it’s my idea but I do not have the
ability to access fabrics or the
ability to make the expose
my idea and someone will be interested in
bring fabrics and others will be
interested in contributing the confection
result one or many dresses
built that yes there is a benefit and
that benefit can be from sales
of the dress or it can be a benefit in
species
in crowdfunding we are talking about
micro investments and behind the
investments does not have to be a
group of investors you can be you can
be me because crowdfunding is the
ability that we have to invest in
something we believe in so you can see
another clear example a rock group something
that I really like the rock group
Extremoduro sold its first album before
to record it with sales money
could go to a recording studio in
madrid the result was the same
those who bought the disk had
the record this is what it offers us
us these mechanisms but not only
we can think of groupings if
we think of an idea thanks to the
new technologies we can open a
campaign be of crawford if not of
crowdfunding and get further away from what
that until now we had arrived
or personally no need crawford
but crowdfunding I like to repair
things and sometimes it spoils my
appliances at home and I open them for
repair them and it turns out that it is a piece
little girl I go to the manufacturer and that
it says here you have a whole panel because
because he does not come to accounts
making a piece comes to mind
sell the panel and I want to be
consistent with the environment not
I want to give too much waste that I do
I go to the internet and look for plans
open for with a 3d printer can
print my little piece and repair the
apparatus
these planes are exposed by people
freely and because someone is going to
invest your time your energy in
projects that you may not get
no good benefit is not just about
of economic benefit if we think about the
offender we are thinking about development
growing in you have the
opportunity to learn and be able to put in
practice what I learned from discovering
new technologies and for this the open
source is a favoring element
the offender had his origins with richard
stallman who laid the foundations of a
political and moral legal framework with the
copyleft something that says that the rights
of author of a piece of software
they have to stay open to the
community
and in the early 90’s the open
source initiative to help the
developers to deal with these
Copyleft-type licenses
thanks to it today we have
many technologies that would not exist without
the open source
If you browse the internet, it is possible that
do with browsers mozilla firefox or
if you have an android device
you do not have to be technological when riding
in a train on a plane you are doing
use of open source because you are
companies have their servers with
operating systems and software pieces
open source
someone has come in über über exposes the
source code of your web application and of
your mobile application because he knows
that it is the users who have
needs and if you expose the source code
of the users are going to contribute the
needs and in the end they end up having
the application they want
If I talk about big data
scalability
delivery tools content coding
if you are not related to the field
of the technological maybe you sound very
I miss this but I do say netflix to
who does not sound and who is not
hooked to one of his netflix series or
that is the opensource ecosystem of
which netflix is ​​nourished by the community and
contributes the community to develop a
internet television
it’s more
is developing productions in the
which users
will determine what is the end
but if we move technology open
source is a mentality that we can
apply to other areas of our life
this will favor the development of
our ideas or even our
own relationships as we can do
good with innovation
when you speak
you expose something but when you listen you are
able to learn and in this this is
key to listen to learn
and maybe the smartest people live
in another part of the world and the
technologies or the open source or the
community to call it as you want us
they get closer to them
also with perspective because it’s going to
compel to see things from another side
from the receiver’s side so we will be
able to deliver what we
like to receive marketing makes use
opensource also nothing like the mouth
to mouth to spread an idea the
advertising can be a means but the
community will get where the eyes or
the ears reach us
even these ted events are also
opensource we are here sharing
listening by contributing receiving
any measure connecting
when we use software that
It’s not open source, we’re paying a
company to allow us to use their
software as they want and during the
time they want because the
We are really talking about a community
at all times and this community is not
a team a team is a set of
people who work towards a single
objective but a community is a
set of individuals that work in
after a vision is viewing them
will allow to reach multiple
objectives and this is what is
try to grow to develop
and a set of individuals that can
be very different from different
religions of different cultures
social areas different countries
when they come together they are able to
perfectly match a large
corporation the difference sometimes the
large corporations in the software
they have had a mentality
touchdown that is to say they profit from the
theft of patents or of taking the code of
third parties to privatize it and oblige
users to use it like them
they want the open source has a
mentality down to up
the code is open so that all the
world can modify it access to it and
it’s not just modify sometimes when a
developer contributes his open source
allows other developers other
users within the community
collaborate correcting faults improving
functionalities in short
perfecting the software of a
application
now yes
it’s not just being a developer
software which will allow him
thinker grow
You can do it while you use it because
by using it you will be making the
community grow you’ll be allowing that
is developed and at the end of accounts
you know what
you will benefit from it
this is the important thing
but this benefit does not have and I go back to
repeat because being economical there are people
who exposes his time his mind his talent
to develop pieces of software that
improve your life some will do
in an altruistic way others maybe work
for companies that like in the case of
netflix great money with it but they continue
contributing to the growth of the community
and in short, they end up working
for you
when you use software
what is open source you will be using the
software
what is yours
there’s something people employ their
time and effort in developing this
software and contribute to it because
they think it ‘s fair that the right thing is
to collaborate
in this is what I call the
radical generosity and for that think
in the following our famous phrase of
it is better to give than to receive but it is true
if I have two oranges and I want to catch
a watermelon I have to drop the oranges
to catch the watermelon this is what
what did she give to her had a had a
problem and a possible solution what
exposed to the rest of the world the result
hundreds of thousands of people like you
like me
benefiting from developments of
software and open source projects that
they make human life change
radical way
and in order to go accounts to owning it
what do you use as danna like those people
as I thank you
