Hi welcome from Berlin, or here with he's the co-founder of their college foundation. For now, how much tell us a little bit about it. The open knowledge foundation is a nonprofit community based nonprofit that fills tunes and communities to create news and share, opens machine to make the world a better place to use that information so that we can solve big problems and small bubbles. Yeah tell us about some of the main initiatives, as you guys have gone up so this service.

We have two types of things: well, as we seek to build a global community and people information open data, particularly so what aspect of our work is its freedom as mobile networks? We have working groups and particular toppings. These open data is a big thing. Yes and generally people to one part of that even advanced in transplant, regular buses run house you today with other people who are interested sighs. You know how do we do chemistry in the open? How do we share chemical information and the other as friends, we feel particular image.

So one till we build us with sea town and the date upon which is like wordpress for data easy way of the share they take is also now used by how much you government another project as examples from spending which is more both data, but it's also application. So where does your money go? Yeah tactical plans present and also the thing I was worried. Useful to me was the open design yep.

Absolutely so you have a desk and open design. You can open hard work, really really excited young you about and anything to point there is, and you have this absolute down, but but there's both in the software and digital information, see the natural, isn't I people think about openness, because it's you know, sharing a copy of your prize is are relatively, they show a copy of your data. Is it because you can create digital age? It's very cheap, but also the same time in a hardware.

Design can also be opening, show miss the the the blueprints. Are the ideas and I think they're. This really obvious aspect of sharing that information. Can you need or building kind of devices? Better yep so tell us about the okay, the best absolutely so this year in here now, fifty thousand five run and your conference. Okay, calm logical, go to this year as becoming open knowledge, best horses, equal break, the RV, gamma beta camp and okay bottles, one week, long extravaganza of fun and community.

We here we here so so in in Helsinki for a week in September, people will be coming together and one of the things that is really exciting about like a lot festival.

Gia days of to genomics from statistics to select a hardware design, so I think that's one of the things that's really exciting about this. Now it's mixing, yes, oh those 11 hundred parts of the design definition is coming around absolutely having some principles of what opened debt open. Hardware token design would be we're also looking for people from that community to really contribute to that process and shows us are some of the awesome stuff that has has been a house that relate to this stuff in the America raised with open parking hardware definition.

Absolutely so, we've been we've been talking with those photographs and also I. Think that's. One of our points is too often we open data as I soon as a huge area of knowledge of invisible, Jerry we're, often not necessarily necessarily the people driving them. Often we can bring together those different communities and sometimes even facilitate information in a given community area. So I think one of my point about the hardware is that you know obviously a nice connection resource and later, but making that more explicit, really bringing together.

Some of these people is one of all anything you see more yourself or more as an umbrella for all those efforts, or sometimes in some cases, but also sometimes cheerleading or you can participate on other initiatives. We don't unless you need to be today. We do see ourselves a big tent, but also that's our 10. It connects to other texts, ya, go a circus or festival where we're we're running 14, there's many many tents around, but we need to connect with as you sports. So how do we well I?

Think one of the things is one thing is I want to come to majority and I was a time of this farm, but I think also. We could think we could. You know, I think, there's already some initiatives around. I'm also some other things. You know I can see around open hardware. What are the differences? We have these ideas, but we need to sort of crowd, source or bring a bigger community. It will awareness of why thats? Why that's important? I think it's really cool, and this is what we do around that yeah.

So I could connect through some of the leaders of though from hardware part, and I am planning on the whole- ok best attendance. Exactly ok great. I think the other aspect is a big pot of data. Even in hardware, you need to get information about performed what people are using stuff floor, I'm just I, don't know any chemistry. A good example is what's the boiling point, the self there's a whole bunch of data information that you need in order to do to do.

You know what I mean I was reading with fascination about bricks and their properties, and you know clay and an earth there's a whole bunch of just data information. You build g design yeah, so we'll try to look at repositories that our customers, how we cannot do anything sorry processes, are really cold, really exciting applications that come out of it. That's the other thing is sometimes to really make opens Dana like an acknowledged computer. How is it directly affecting yeah your life or my life yeah?

Well, that's about it from Berlin the tail end of the shuttleworth foundation, one more day left and then coming back to the states, so child from banana.
