Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Hi, thank you.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm Nicolas Dandrimont and I will indeed\Nbe talking to you about
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Software Heritage.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm a software engineer for this project.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I've been working on it for 3 years now.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And we'll see what this thing is all about.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,[Mic not working]
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I guess the batteries are out.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, let's try that again.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, we all know, we've been doing\Nfree software for a while,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that software source code is something\Nspecial.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Why is that?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,As Harold Abelson has said in SICP, his\Ntextbook on programming,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,programs are meant to be read by people\Nand then incidentally for machines to execute.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically, what software source code\Nprovides us is a way inside
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the mind of the designer of the program.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For instance, you can have,\Nyou can get inside very crazy algorithms
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that can do very fast reverse square roots\Nfor 3D, that kind of stuff
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like in the Quake 2 source code.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You can also get inside the algorithms\Nthat are underpinning the internet,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for instance seeing the net queue\Nalgorithm in the Linux kernel.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What we are building as the free software\Ncommunity is the free software commons.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Basically, the commons is all the cultural\Nand social and natural resources
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that we share and that everyone\Nhas access to.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,More specifically, the software commons\Nis what we are building
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with software that is open and that is\Navailable for all to use, to modify,
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to execute, to distribute.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We know that those commons are a really\Ncritical part of our commons.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Who's taking care of it?
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The software is fragile.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Like all digital information, you can lose\Nsoftware.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People can decide to shut down hosting\Nspaces because of business decisions.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,People can hack into software hosting\Nplatforms and remove the code maliciously
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,or just inadvertently.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And, of course, for the obsolete stuff,\Nthere's rot.
Dialogue: 0,9:59:59.99,9:59:59.99,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you don't care about the data, then\Nit rots and it decays and you lose it.
