NATO Secretary General. Russia preparing for bigger war. Russia is preparing for a bigger war. NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said. He said that Russia is gathering many forces on the contact line with Ukrainian troops. Russia is preparing for a new offensive in Ukraine, especially in the direction of Bakhmut. More troops are mobilized in Russia and weapons production is increased. We also see Moscow strengthening its ties with authoritarian states, such as Iran and North Korea. Stoltenberg said that NATO's goal is to ensure Ukraine's victory. The war must end on the negotiating table. Our task is to support Ukraine since we know that the negotiations are directly related to the situation on the battlefield. If we want Ukraine to win peacefully, we need to know that the best way to do this is to give military support to Kyiv. The general staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that Russia is also concentrating its efforts in neighboring Donetsk province, especially in its bid to capture the key city of Bakhmut. Russian forces have been trying for months to capture Bakhmut. Moscow installed authorities in Donetsk, claimed Russian troops are closing the ring around the city.


Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. Two Navy Petty Officers were recognized by the Mayor of Newport News, Virginia, for saving an elderly woman from her burning home last month. Petty Officers Jessica Hussino and Devin Bishop, both assigned to USS Abraham Lincoln, were returning to the ship when their Navy training was unexpectedly put to the test. While on their lunch break, they noticed smoke coming from a burning home and immediately took action. And whereas a citizen is never expected to place their life in danger at any time, however the calling of a man or woman who chooses to wear a uniform and make selfless sacrifices should always be recognized as a hero. Both sailors said their response was an instinctual reaction after years of shipboard firefighting training. To read the full story of the rescue, visit the Navy Live blog.


Hoplodactylus Delcorte is a large extinct species of geckotan type of lizard found in New Caledonia. It was previously thought to be a member of the genus Hoplodactylus due to similarities in topads and other physical characteristics. However, recent genetic research suggests that it belongs to a different genus. The researchers also discovered that the species had undergone significant changes in size over time which may explain why it resembles Hoplodactylus despite being unrelated. This article was authored by Matthew P. Heineck, Stuart V. Nielsen, Aaron M. Bauer and others.


Live from the Sands Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, it's theCUBE at AWS ReInvent 2014. Brought to you by headline sponsors, Amazon and Trend Micro. Hey, welcome back everyone. We are live here at Amazon ReInvent in Las Vegas. This is theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal noise. I'm John Furrier, the founder of SiliconANGLE. We're here with Carl Vandenberg, VP of Product and Customer Success at TIPCO, formerly of Jaspersoft. Welcome back to theCUBE. Thank you. We interviewed last year. You changed jerseys or put on a new shirt? I got TIPCO from the Jaspersoft. Yeah. So tell us about what happened. So obviously we covered you guys. We're covering Jaspersoft. I think going back to Hadoop Summit's first one. Yeah, yeah. What's the update? What's the update? What went down? Where'd you guys end up? Would you land? What are you working on? What are you doing? Right. And yeah, Jaspersoft got acquired about six months ago by TIPCO. Our focus is embedded business intelligence. We have a large developer community. Hundreds of thousands of applications today embed Jaspersoft. And that's kind of our distinctive angle on the BI market. There's just so many players. And TIPCO is looking to take a bigger role in the analytics market. Some of you may know that TIPCO already has a data visualization product called Spotfire, part of their portfolio. And the Jaspersoft piece now complements that. So there are two distinctive use cases in the market. Data visualization focused on analysts. And then embedded BI focused on developers. And so together we are now TIPCO analytics, sort of a new group within TIPCO focused on becoming the number one player in the analytics market. You know, I've always been impressed with TIPCO going back to the old TIPCO boss. They've been dealing with distributed computing for a while. Now you're starting to see this decentralization of distributed computing kind of coming back, right? I mean, Amazon represents distributed computing in kind of a chaotic, you know, way. But it's still as a resource pool, a lot of tooling. What is the developer an opportunity, right? Because I mean you can look at analytics and saying customer A might not be the same as customer B on the deployment side. But how do you create a scale of product? So what do you guys learn? And what's your observation in this new, as Andy Jassy calls it, the new normal? Because the game is still the same. But just the environment is different. So I'll tell you a little bit about the role that cloud has played for Jaspersoft and now for TIPCO analytics. So there is a problem in the analytics market. We're spending billions of dollars on analytics. It's a top priority for CIOs. And yet there's another industry analyst number out there that 25%. And 25% is the actual number of information workers that use BI. So despite the spend, despite the focus, we're still like three quarters of information workers today don't interact with BI on a regular basis. You're an information worker. I'm an information worker. I think, certainly from my perspective, even though I work at a BI company, I don't use the stuff every day. And I think I could. It's just not in a digestible form. It's not easy enough. It's not easy enough? The problem boils down to we have other preferred tools. We have applications. If you're a salesperson, it's your CRM. If you're marketing, it's marketing automation. We have our preferred applications. What we really want is analytics inside of applications. And that's the whole embedded intelligence aspect of JasperSoft. So JasperSoft is focused on giving developers the tools to build analytics reports and dashboards into their applications. So where does the cloud fit in? The problem is a lot of applications that don't have analytics. They might have a pretty chart from a charting library. They don't have an analytic platform because it's too costly and it's too complex. And so what the cloud has enabled us to do, and about a year and a half ago, JasperSoft launched the first utility-priced BI server on AWS Marketplace. 18 months later, we have over 1,300 customers, and we are the number one selling product on the Amazon Marketplace. So talk about the embedded thing, because I want to get that most of good point, because now you have a developer who are embedding analytics. Jeff Kelly and I were just talking in the opening segment, and obviously he's the big data analyst. But I was kind of poo-pooing the whole big data segment because I'm seeing data, fabric really being embedded. So it's really not a pure-play category. And if you look at the revenue of, say, Hortonworks S1 filing and Cloudera not going public and getting the Intel kind of like a cover, maybe the big data is not a market. Maybe it's just an embedded feature of everything else, like cloud. Yeah, well I think... What's your take on that? I think the challenge of big data, like analytics in general, is making it digestible to your average consumer. Today it's primarily focused on, you know, analysts. What can analysts get out of these new data stores? Right? And it's great. And there's more insight. Newer sources tell us different things. We have a broader perspective on our customers from all these new social media feeds and so on. But fundamentally, in order for that big data to become useful, it has to be made small. We like to say we need to make big data small by embedding sort of the insights that are extracted from big data into the applications that people actually use every day. So you and me are going to use something, and we want the insight from big data fed to us in a way that's useful. So let's talk about the visualization piece. You mentioned the BI, the Inflation Workers. Let's go back in time. We had Alan Cohn on here from Illumio, hot startup. He's a 25-year veteran in the tech industry. And I always love the tech veterans. Always kind of go back and say, we're living the inflection point like client server. Like PC revolution. So I think the PC revolution, I've said on theCUBE, kind of as a haymaker, this revolution is like putting together a PC and client server at the same time. There's a massive, it's like the combination of those two massive forces. But let's take the PC. Excel was a productivity tool on paper. Yeah, you use spreadsheets. Before that, it was MIS department and the mainframes, right? You had to go get the reports. BI is kind of like that. I mean, it's not a great analogy, but it's kind of one that humanizes that, okay, Excel made the humans at the desktop use Excel and numbers. Versus the old way was go to the IT geeks and get the data. That's kind of happening now. So what are you seeing there that's going to get that kind of obvious use case? Is it the tooling? Is it the developers? Yeah. What's going to make BI pervasive? It's a great example. They've shown that getting stuff up and running is easy. Yeah. So I think there's some positive signs that we're going to get to pervasive BI finally. Ultimately, what it's about, and this is the mission for typical analytics, it's about finding the way to get BI out of the tools. So in spite of the success of the tableaus of the world, it's still kind of focused on the same population, which is data analysts, people who like to spend their time in data. And that's well and fine, but the majority of us don't have the inclination. It doesn't matter how cheap or easy the tool is, we're not going to have the expertise or the inclination or the time to go and use a tableaus. It's just not going to happen. So fundamentally, what we need to do is we need to get insight out of the tool into the applications or find ways for the analysts who are crunching numbers to share more readily with the rest of the population. That part of the market has not evolved at all. I mean, we're basically just emailing spreadsheets or emailing reports, but that's not how people work today. Give an example, that's a great point. So I would agree, maybe it's evolving a little bit, just like some bright spots. You can see the light way into the tunnel. But take that use case forward. I'm emailing spreadsheets around today. What's the embedded scenario use case look like in the ideal future state? What it looks like is that inside any application where there is an element of data, and that's pretty much all applications, you are going to have interactive BI that's part of the application.  But you'll also have the capability to ask your own questions, but within that application. So if I'm a sales rep today and I'm using a CRM, I want to have my analytics relevant to me inside of the application. I don't want to have to go to a separate report or dashboard outside of the application. I don't want to have something inside the application that's pertinent to me. So, talk about the cloud now. So, again, back to Jeff Kelly's conversation today was there's a big data theme here at this event but it's not front and center. It's just native into the conversation. People I talk to are just like, oh yeah, we used Redshift, we got Kinesis. It's starting to see that closed loop. You've got CloudTrail as a big data application if you look at it that way. This is now native into the Internet of Things meets data center. What do you guys view on that? Do you see the same picture? Yeah, big data is a natural for the cloud because of the sort of scale out architecture that's required for many of these new data stores. A lot of the new big data sources are cloud native. That's where they're generated. It's not like we're trying to forklift warehouses that are on premises into the cloud. Most of the cloud data is now cloud native. That was essentially the opportunity that we saw when we came out with the Jasper Software AWS. There's two approaches to cloud analytics today. One is I'm going after a business user like a VP of marketing and they want to see their campaign analytics. I'm going to build a SaaS application focused on them and they can buy it by the month. That's not what we were focused on with Jasper Software AWS. What we were focused on are the developers in IT that already had a ton of data in the cloud. You just look at the growth of Amazon S3 to give you an indication of the amount of data that's cloud native. There's all of this data and yet there's no analytics service right now that matches well with how people are used to buying the rest of the cloud infrastructure. I can buy compute, I can buy databases, I can buy app servers all by the hour. I can't buy BI. Until we launched Jasper Software AWS, you could not buy BI by the hour. Let's talk about Spotfire for AWS. Is that in the marketplace? What kind of deal was it? Was it joint integration? Give us the details of that deal. That was an announcement we made today. We now have a world-class data visualization product. This is a product that has been ranked in the leaders quadrant by both Gardner and Forester. So an incredibly rich data visualization product that is now in the cloud, available starting at less than a dollar an hour. Again, we are disrupting the market from a business model perspective. This is the only data visualization product where you can buy for less than a dollar an hour. All right, so I want you to rewind that. I'm actually tweeting this out right now on the crowd chat. So rewind that. I want to just make sure we capture that. So today we announced Spotfire for AWS. In the cloud for how much? In the cloud. So it starts at less than a dollar an hour and you go in the marketplace and you see the actual number. I'm thinking it's 68 cents, so I can't remember exactly. The point is less than a cup of coffee. You can get a world-class data visualization product. You've got heroin in that coffee. You've got a total addiction, right? So what's the real number? Well, the real number is obviously how long you use it. But this is the cloud consumption. Land and expand. Show the value. Offer low entry price. What the utility model is doing for analytics, it's allowing people to experiment with zero risk. There is no contract that you sign, right? There is no salesperson that you talk to. You press a button. If you like it, you continue. If you don't like it or if you want to take a break, you press a button again to stop it and you only get charged for what you use. That is the fairest pricing model. You ask any user, that's what they want. And now we have it for both an embedded BI solution and for a data visualization product. And this is to prove and go to market, really, in cloud, right? You've got to have some sampling, if you will, lower price frictionless entry. Some cases, premium, right? We have that with our crowd chat, which is a board in the cloud on Amazon. Now the issue is ongoing. They could budget for it. So I'm a user. This is the use case, right? I play with it. I get some value. Put up my credit card, expense it, or whatever they do. I guess it's now called buy as you do. Buy with a drink. But then now I say, okay, I want to use this in production or even more. I then shift the budgeting to that. So that's kind of your strategy. Right. We want to give people a zero risk way to try our data visualization product and do it in a way that's super simple. So it's all in the cloud. You press a button and it's up and running. Okay, so tell me what happened inside the company to get this approved. There had to be some naysayers. You know the name names. Yeah, yeah. No, we can't do that. We were given the farm away. The good fortune was that the Jaspersoft AWS experiment that we started a year and a half ago has been phenomenally successful. And there were concerns that we were going to cannibalize our own business. We had sales guys selling 30k a year subscriptions. And now we were introducing something starting at 48 cents an hour.  We did it in a clever way such that we really went after a market that was underserved today. Companies that would never consider BI, really, because it's too expensive. And so I'll give you an example of a customer. Silicon Angle, so in Silicon Valley. Yeah. Lots of recruitment firms, right? It's a good business for recruiters, but they're also, you know, it's a competitive market. So how do you stand out? Well, one of our customers, one of our early adopters of Jasper Software AWS is called Sage Human Capital. 25 people. The CEO believed that if they could give, if he could give his customers, his clients better visibility into the recruiting process with data that he could stand out. And so he had the idea, but he didn't have an IT team. He found Jasper Software AWS. Four hours later, he had his first dashboard. This is the CEO, right? His first dashboard up and running, and it cost him all of, you know, $2. Because of that, they were able to build a whole dashboard that they provide to their customers. They could see what's happening in the pipeline, what candidates are saying vis-a-vis a particular posting. Customers love the visibility. He has, in two years, he has quadrupled his business, and he's doubled in staff. How about the integration for him? So he's got no IT. So what did he do? Did he call you guys or just went to Amazon? No. So this is the beauty of the marketplace.  But what we also focused a lot on at Jasper Software was we wanted to, our design goal was that the person buying would never have to talk to anyone. To buy, to get up and running, to get into production. So we built a whole lot of self-service tools, online university, community forums around the offering. So that's essentially what happens today and that's why we can charge that price. There are no people involved, right? There's no support for it. It's all online. It's all online. I mean the marketplace, it's the retail, it boggles my mind how Amazon just has that tool formula, win the platform, win on the tooling and packaging. In this case, if you take, think, book seller in retail, it's all in the packaging, right? So the packaging here is correct. The packaging is beautiful and it's clearly popular and like it's marketplace has been around for two years. We're in 1900 products now are in the marketplace. Okay, so I got to, since you're the product, I got to do a little biz dev for our crowd chat products. I got to ask this, so I want to use your product for our crowd chats. We run the crowd chats with all these hashtag conversations and it's awesome. It's all hosted on Amazon. We store the conversations and chat it. Can I use your product and how would I import that data into the analytics? You just tell us where the data lives, right? So we can read anything from flat files to relational data stores to Hadoop, Mongo, any of the newer data stores. Text, you can take all the text, do kinds of stuff with it. Spotfire has a text analytics component. Yeah. JasperSoft doesn't do unstructured, but Spotfire does. So, and now with the, Spotfire for AWS is probably the product you're looking for. And you could be one of our first customers, John. We're doing deals on theCUBE. This is what it's all about. We love theCUBE. Yeah. I love talking to product people because the product is the very key nuance in the cloud because you mentioned it earlier to do some things, pricing is just one indicator, but you get a price after you get the product positioning. So what about, let's drill down into what you had to do to satisfy that core business. The sales guys out there saying, hey, I got to make my bonus. I got my product. I got my named accounts. Yeah. So what happens to those guys? What's the positioning? How did you slice and dice the positioning? Did you have to throttle back some features? Did you have to shift a little bit on the product side? You're a product guy too, John, I think. So, yeah, there was a little bit of feature. Essentially one feature, which is multi-tenancy, which we kept out of the of the 48 cents an hour product. But what really worked, what we're seeing working now is it's kind of come full circle. So these customers, they said that before, would have never bought an annual subscription. It doesn't matter how good the sales guy is. $30K a year for a 20-person recruiting company is just way too much, right? So we got these new customers we wouldn't have got before. Now what's happening is, as they get confident and they grow their deployments, they're seeing the benefit of maybe adding, going to a bigger machine, getting commercial support. And our sales guys now see our Amazon customers as kind of our lead source. They can convert those to annual subscriptions. It's entry-level on the product map. It's entry-level, and as they grow, the sales guy says, hey, I can make that. It's really new to you guys, so it's really new business. It's absolutely new business, and a lot of it is coming through the AWS customer base. So they find out about Jaspersoft. If you go to the marketplace, you can't avoid Jaspersoft, right? We're there everywhere, listed number one in BI and big data, and it's a great position to be. And so people find us, and they never heard of us before. It's great business model, because what you have is essentially serving a new customer base. There's some work up front. You guys did some work, and that costs you some cash, so you do that. But the leverage on the back end is awesome. Now you've got direct leads coming in an upsell, and then the hockey stick can kick out. If you get lucky, if it goes well, then you kick up to the hockey stick.  The marketplace allowed us to get to the cloud with practically zero investment, right? Because all the billing, the infrastructure, all of that was taken care of. The only investment we made was marketing, just getting the word out. And again there, the marketplace itself is kind of our primary source now. So just phenomenal in terms of our cloud efforts. Well, the cloud migrations here, Carl, appreciate you coming on theCUBE. Good to see you. Again, you're seeing the transformation, the shift. But more importantly, there's real business value, right? So you have a lot of frictionless way to get new products to the market. And Amazon with the marketplace and all the new announcements just adding more and more services. Watch out. Love coming to the show because I always, you know, see just the verification of the dominance of Amazon. And I think there's just not, it's just getting started. So obviously people are worried on the other side, outside of the Amazon camp. We'll be watching it closely. Thanks for coming. I'm going to try Spotfire. We'll take a look at it. Yeah. If you have any issues, let me know. Well, that's the number one thing of visualization. Yeah. Visualization is everything, right? Storytelling. Yeah. You know, people want, it should be very easy, almost, you know, for a user to push a button and have that easy experience. Yeah. Great. So, Carl, thanks for coming on. Thanks for having me on. Tibco, formerly with Jaspersoft. Now at Tibco, we're here inside theCUBE bringing all the big data in the cloud. We'll be right back after this short break.


When you try to possess, you'll become a devil. If you possess something absolutely and say it'll bring unbearable pain to you, when it brings that kind of pain, it'll cure you. When this piece of life is alive to its core, then you'll find everything is fine. Namaskaram, Sadhguru. How can one overcome possessiveness in a relationship? Don't try to overcome possessiveness. Just possess something absolutely and say, once you know the pain of trying to possess something, once you know the pain of that, the pain will heal you of possessiveness. You're trying to overcome possessiveness is not going to work because you already tried, isn't it? Obviously you've tried, you've failed and that's why you're asking me.  You will see it'll bring unbearable pain to you. When it brings that kind of pain, it'll cure you. So, why is it that you want to possess? You know, in India or anywhere in the world, if you say somebody is possessed, what it means? The one who is possessed is a victim, but one who possesses, you know who he is? You are just that. When you try to possess, you'll become a devil. No, no, no, I love very much, but yes, with good intentions you will become a devil. That is the problem about possessiveness, very good intentions. And how do you know devil has no good intentions for you? Who knows? How do you know God has good intentions for you? Only the… only the propaganda says so, but you don't know for sure, isn't it? If all this is God's making, all that's happening in your life, you don't really know whether he has good intentions for you or not anymore, isn't it? You know for sure? You know for sure? You don't know. And you don't know whether devil has bad intentions for you, you don't know. But one who is… one who possesses is usually a devil. So, with good intentions, when we said somebody is a devil, we did not question his intention. We only are talking about the result of his action, isn't it? Yes, we are not questioning his intention. We… a devil of a wind. Maybe the wind is blowing with good intention, but because it's devastating your home, you call it the devil because of the result, isn't it? So, if the result that you are bringing about is painful, you are the devil. Your intentions may be good, but the result is painful for somebody around you, then you're a devil. So, if you manage to possess, you must be a devil. And these victims who are possessed by something else, they can cause hell of a lot of problem to everybody around them. Have you seen them? So, if I tell you don't possess, you're not going to stop anyway because this is a very deep-rooted problem. This is not going to go away because of somebody's advice. Please don't possess anybody. He's not going to go away. You may shift your objects of possession from this to that, but the longing or the need to possess is not going. You may shift your object of possessing from this to that because you're wanting to possess something is essentially coming from a certain sense of unfulfilled experience of life, a certain sense of being incomplete.  I want you to understand, you are not trying to be rich, you are not trying to be ambitious, you are not trying to be possessive. The answer is same for greed, for anger, for hatred. You are not trying to be all this. All you're trying to do is somehow find fulfillment, either by embracing this person or by killing this person or by taking what he has or by taking him. Somehow you want to fulfill yourself because you are unable to bear the incompleteness of who you are. Try hard, it will not get you anywhere. So all I am telling you is you try everything.  If you realize it's not getting you anywhere, you must be sensible enough to shift.  Don't listen to my advice, try something. If it works, go on that path. If it doesn't work, leave the nonsense and try something else, isn't it? And you will see none of these things will work. All of them will create a sense of as if it's going to work, but they'll deceive you later. Try hard and see. Don't try in a lukewarm way, try absolutely. If you try absolutely, within twenty-four hours you will know. If you try off and on in lukewarm ways, it will take a lifetime to know. Then if there are twenty-four qualities, you need twenty-four lifetimes to realize this doesn't work, this doesn't work, this doesn't work, this doesn't work. If you try really hard, within twenty-four hours you will know it doesn't work. Whatever it is, your problem. Go all the way into it. You'll see within twenty-four hours this is no good. It will never work. It will be hundred percent clear to you. Once it's clear to you, I trust your intelligence. The only thing that I trust is intelligence. Because life is intelligence. The tree is blossoming. It is a certain intelligence. The very earth that you walk upon is intelligent. There that you breathe is intelligent. One way of looking at life is, life is just an explosion of intelligence. What you call is creation. And what you refer to as the creator is the ultimate intelligence, isn't it? That's the only thing you can trust right now. And that'll function only if you go all the way. If you go like this, it'll give you a false sense of comfort and soles.  You know it doesn't work, but it's not intense enough. So give yourself absolutely to whatever nonsense you're doing very soon. Within a day, you will know it doesn't work. It doesn't work. If you realize it doesn't work, I believe you will shift. Can I believe that you will shift? Something doesn't work and you're sure it doesn't work. You will shift. Fulfillment, completeness is not going to happen by getting this or getting that. It'll only happen when this piece of life is alive to its core, that the very source of creation in this you have divine. Only when you have touched that, then you'll find everything is fine. Now you can play life like a football game. You're on when it's on.  Then nothing is a problem.


Washington directly, what are they like announcing for games and stuff? Yeah. Hello, everyone. I'm Sheena Takahashi and I'll be your guide. Sheena Takahashi, we can watch on this with the beanbags. Trade convoys traveled between stars. Factions vie for territory. Pirates hunt unwary travelers in the authorities are ever watchful. It seems so weird. You can just turn off like the game play, the combat. Yeah, they said they said turn off random encounters like that's what RPGs were like that's what the game is. It turns into a car after eats it. It's Kirby's latest unforgettable 3D platforming adventure. Wait, this game actually looks sick. It's gotten land. It all takes place in a new world with an unusual mix of nature. It's like, yeah, it's like a Kirby, like a... To rescue the kidnapped waddledees, Kirby sets off on a new adventure. It's a guy. Introducing... Like, I'm not thinking of a better name. A vending machine to attack the juice cans. Attack the juice cans. Attack the juicers. Piercing cone. Piercing cone technique. With mouthful mode, new actions will be available for Kirby depending on the object he inhales. Dude, I actually think this game was going to be good. Three orders are available now on Nintendo eShop. That was Kirby and the Forgotten Land, launching later next month. Wait, next one? The sabbathon here. Let's take a look at some more Nintendo Switch headlines. Wait, you're danged. That's right, Otani-san. That's right.  Shish.  Three Kingdom Hearts collections are almost... No, Shish is like a boomer saying, Chad. He wasn't saying... Wait, what? And the Remind DLC.  I think Kingdom Hearts would be so good for a boomer on their sabbathon. Relive or get to know these heartfelt adventures alongside Sora, Donald, Goofy, and more for the first time in TV, tabletop, or handheld mode. What is it saying, Cloud? What did they say? Wait, what is the Cloud version? It's laggy? Oh. Oh! Dance game. Wait, what is the... There's a furry game. Chlamydia 2? Is that game good? Wait, Portal? Oh, dude, Portal on the Switch would be sick. Portal is such a good game. It's a good game. It's so cool. I never played Portal 2 there. Portal on the Switch would be sick. Portal is so cool. Dude, if you're just chilling on your phone or whatever, you know what I mean? Like on an airplane? Connell's crying. I beg to connell through Portal 2. I still don't know what game to start the sabbathon with. It might be Majora's. Whoa, the parallax on this looks so weird. Like, it looks cool. Like, the way the background is moving? Yeah. Wait, space? They go to the space in future? Yeah, I think, dude, they started with that. Wait, Switch Sports? Wait, what? What? Dude, Wii Sports are so fun. Dude, do you remember hearing stories about people breaking their TVs? Wii Sports? Dude, the original, I think the original Wii remotes didn't have wristbands. Yeah, I think they didn't come with wristbands, and then the first batch of them didn't. Is that true, Chad? Or did people just not wear them? I punched an ex-girlfriend in the back of the head while playing Wii Tennis. That's actually a good answer. That's actually a good answer. Well, I should have been last very long after that.  Wait, hold on, there's a leg wrap?  Hello there, everyone. I can see you're ready to play. Alright, I'll play some volleyball online together with Mr. Koizumi. Do you have your wrist wrap ready? Yes, of course. I've got plenty of space around me as well. This is so funny. This is so funny, dude. Let's start. Alright, we're doing this. Volleyball, a newly added sport in Nintendo Switch Sports. What can we expect today from the Takahashi Koizumi team? It's Koizumi to serve with Takahashi up front. Well, I love this. We begin with Koizumi serving. How will the opposing team react? Ahachi makes the block. It's coming. Koizumi saves it. Nice, the set. The other team saves it and fights back.  Takahashi didn't quite get it in time. Alright, well, it's okay. The game's not over. Now the other team serves. Dude, they should lose.  It'd be so funny. Dude, they're actually so funny, but lost. That was so out, dude. That's garbage. That's such trash. Whoa! Oh, dude, that's sick. You can run around with one controller and then you wear the leg strap to kick. So you can play... Dude, I can sit on my couch like this and play soccer. There's gonna be so many dads doing that with their kids. They're just gonna be like, ah. You have to run, though. I'm tired. Oh, sick. That's cool. That's cool. That's cool. Oh, sick. That's cool. Should we do that? I think we should do that. Yeah, dude, it's crazy they announced this stuff and then just boom, boom, boom. Wait, actually, this isn't good Nintendo Direct. I think it back, dude. I saw the first three games and I was like, this is trash. Triangle strategy. I love... I love Triangles. Wait, yeah, this is like Final Fantasy tactics. Dude, it's crazy. I thought tactical RPGs were kind of dead. I thought it was a dead genre. It's crazy they're making these games. I just never, I just never hear about people playing them. Miss Chalice is like, she's a hero. She was sleeping with the rest of the cast. The Metroid Dread Game. All it takes is one hit. Even from this. Getting hit even once causes a game over in the brutal Dread Mode difficulty. Dread Mode. Dread Gladiator. I'd be good at this. Wait, so they added... Wait, a new update today. I heard this game wasn't that good though. I heard, I heard this game. Were people into this game for some reason? I thought people weren't happy with this. Wait, Earthbound? Pills keeps wanting me to play Earthbound. Play this? I've never played this ever. It's Ness. Ness from Zero Smash and Earthbound. Do you know that? Earthbound. That's Ness from Zero Smash. Wait, this is like your childhood? Yeah. So when you grew up, did you do this? Yeah. Did you go to Tanzura? Yeah. And see the Blues Brothers? That's sick. Good job, Hachu. Yeah. That's all for today. Yeah, I don't watch anything. Oh really? No, I watch them. The Netflix special shows like Ozark and stuff. No, no, I watch them. Wait, this whole thing was remasters though. What is your favorite show of all time? Uh, Ozark. Oh yeah, that one. Who could forget that one, huh? To be honest, I feel like this was a pretty good Nintendo Direct. It started off pretty bad. But there was like two bad ones in a row. There's some cool. The Wii Sports was one of the cooler ones. There's Wii Sports. Direct. It sucked. Never mind it, it sucked. Wii Sports. Kirby. Mario Kart thing is pretty cool. I actually like the Mario Kart thing. 48 maps, that's pretty nuts. Yeah. The Triangle Fantasy Tactics or whatever. That looked kind of cool.


something, some presentation that I'm really interested in seeing from Alexander here, down here, Alexander Sander. He's the European Union Policy Manager from Free Software Foundation Europe and he will have, I'll guess, a very interesting talk about public money, public code. Yeah, thanks for having me, okay, thank you. Yeah, so actually my talk is more on the government side and not so much on the business side, it's about a campaign we started two years ago, it's called Public Money Public Code and we are trying to modernize the public infrastructure with free software. First of all, what is EFSFE? The Free Software Foundation Europe is a charity that empowers people to control their technology and we strongly do believe that this is done with free software. I'm the Policy Manager of EFSFE so I'm taking more or less care that European policy is good in terms for free software. Well, let's start with a short comic in order to give you an impression why free software is good for governments. I mean, I think all of you know the chain of command for the US nuclear bombs but the question is who installed this red button? So and that's the main question if you can't look into the code, you are not able to see what the code is going to do and so that's why it's a very good idea to have as a government as well as companies but especially for governments it's a good idea to have a code where you can look inside and see what the code does because else it might end in a very strange situation. So what is free software? Free and open source software, open source software. So you have four freedoms, you can use the software, you can share the software, study and improve it. So it means you can use the software for any purpose and there's no restriction with the license or anything else, no limitations so you can use it forever and you can use it for whatever you want. Also you are allowed to share the software. This means also you can sell it so it doesn't mean that free software is for free but it can be but it don't have to be so I mean we've seen already some companies here but imagine for example the redhead deal, billions of dollars so you can make a lot of money with free software. Also you can study the software, you can look into the code, you can see what the software really does and you can improve it. I mean you are also allowed to make it worse but normally if you are working on the software you should make it better so that's why you can improve it. So if these four freedoms are guaranteed then it's free software, open source software, free and open source software. So this is what we are talking about and this is what we want to bring to governments in order to have a transparent system not just for the governments but also for us the citizens. So why should we support free software in governments? So first of all we need trustworthy systems and public bodies must ensure that they have the full control over the software and their computer systems. I mean this is, I showed you the the the bomb button, it's very crucial that we have control over our software as a government as this is the core of our digital infrastructure for governments. And also public bodies are financed through Texas with our money and so therefore they should spend the money in the most efficient way which is possible and therefore we should use free software. Free software projects for governments help to foster your regional IT information, your regional SME partners, it gives you strong independence so you are not you're not in a window lock-in and it's very efficient because you don't have to reinvent the wheel all the time. Governments are more or less having all the same needs and therefore collaboration is a very good idea and the money you waste on licenses you can spend them on free software projects and a way better solution. So let's let's have a look what problems arise when we use proprietary software so something like I don't know a Windows product and something like this. So first of all we don't have any in the upper ability so if we are using the software from one vendor it doesn't communicate with another vendor so we have this vendor lock-in we have don't have any in the upper ability and also if we look to the future we have unpredictable costs and maintenance so if we want to have any changes in the software we are we have to go to the vendor if the vendor says we change our license for the next two years or we are offering you now an office solution where you can buy it for one year subscription or something else yeah so then the vendor just do this for you. There's also a low acceptance by citizens I mean just imagine you are going to school and you have to do a PowerPoint presentation then you have to buy the software rather than so it's also kind of a problem for citizens to to communicate with the governments when you have to use proprietary software. Also your investments are lost because the money you're paying for the license is just gone and you can't do it you can't invest it anywhere else and there are also some security issues I mean imagine a code where you can't just look in there might be backdoors you don't see there might be any problems in the software you don't see so I mean it doesn't mean in general that free software is secured by default but still you can look into the code and see if there's a security issue you can't do it that easily with proprietary software so the solution the solution is then free software so we have in the availability due to open standards we have free licenses so we are very independent so we can switch from one vendor to another one we can make at least minor changes if we want we can make big changes and we can yeah we can improve the software on and scale it to to wherever we want and we can collaborate as I already said governments are more or less having the same needs imagine two cities they normally do the same so city A is doing the same as a city B so if they are buying a software together they can share the costs and also the risks in terms of if it doesn't work and the system is transparent by default which is also very good for citizens I mean you can see what your government does for example with your data and it's very easy to involve local partners and again if you want to make some minor changes in your software you just look for a local IT company doing free software and then they help you to improve the code and make the changes if you just go to a big vendor with proprietary software you always have to go back to this one vendor in order to get your changes and they might even say we don't want to do it because it's just a minor change we don't have money with this so we are not interested if you are doing the specific software there might be a startup or SME who is willing to do your minor changes there's no problem you will definitely find a partner who will do this for this and you have this code where you can look inside and and see if they are for example any backdoors and it's not just you who can look inside the code it's all of us so we as citizens can have a look at the code as well so there are many good reasons to use free software for governments also for for business but yeah so and if we if you have a look at the the governments as a purchaser of software then it's very interesting that up to 27% of the revenue of software firms is done by government so that's really a lot and as I mean a very strong buyer and therefore they they should have yeah somehow a lot of power in order to have the best software solution they want and yeah and and let's have a look to one example it's France they they started back in 2012 to to change their free software policies a bit this led to the situation that up to more than 5% we see that their companies increasing that using free software we are having like up to 18% the increase of number of it related startups and 40% it jobs and what I find very interesting 16% less software patterns so you can see if you're changing your your your policy if you're deciding as a government to go in the direction of free and open source software there is there are spillover effects to your local IT related jobs and and business and it helps you to foster your regional as a means and business also when we go on a city level there are lots of cities switching to free software in the last years I think one of the best examples for this is Barcelona and they are collaborating a lot with other cities so they are not doing this alone they are collaborating for example is Paris Amsterdam Helsinki and others and they decided to spend 70% of their but software budget for open source software so they they have a rule and they say so 70% of our money have to go into free software projects and they do a migration step by step and so they don't go there like in Munich and do a migration from one day to another and completely switch the system but every time they are starting something new every time they are looking for a new software then they are looking for open source solution and spend their money on this and this also led to the situation that there are since the since they started to do this 3,000 companies have been involved and 60% of these are SMEs who contributed to the code and took 70% of this money so you can see it helps your local IT infrastructure your SMEs and your companies and business and so having this in mind we we just thought about starting and campaign to convince governments to use free software and yeah it's very easy we we started to campaign call it public money public code and yeah so first of all we are asking to use taxpayers money in a good way and to lease them the code as free software and so code paid by the people by the people should be available to the people and we have something like open letter so this is the main point of this is that we want legislation requiring that publicly finance software developed for the public sector be made a publicly available under a free and open source software license if it's public money it should be public court so it's very easy we are using these arguments and since we started this campaign had just a lot loads of organization supporting our demand we have like more than 200 organizations now who are scientists there are international NGOs national NGOs regional NGOs and also administrations for example the city of Barcelona who signed this campaign and we have also individual signatures there are more than 20,000 so if you haven't signed so far yeah would be happy if you just do so and help us in order to promote this campaign we also made recently a brochure which is dedicated for administrations so it's like all the arguments I was showing you in a very concrete way and written for administrations in order to to help them to give them arguments why to to switch to free software and to show them a way how to do this sometimes people do in administrations are afraid of procurement procedures or they are afraid that of usability and stuff like this and so we put all our arguments together in one brochure and gathered some best practices and show them the administrations a way on how to go and how to migrate their systems to free software project and I think one key point for us is to do it step-by-step so don't switch a whole system from one day to another but every time you are doing something new then switch to a free software project and then step-by-step you will have a free software solution in the end and your government is run by free software in the end so also if you know any cities governments administrations whatever who are interested in this please let us know we are happy to get in contact with these guys I mean we can see that for example Paris Amsterdam Helsinki and all the others these are good examples they they are quite happy with their free software solutions and I think it's for us as a taxpayer also a very good solution to push the governments to switch to free software we have for example the talent declaration which is signed by all the member states of the user Portugal signed as well and they are asking so the member states said and signed that they want to go into the direction of open source in the future but still I think there's a lot of improvement that could be done and so we have to put a bit of pressure on the government and convince them to use free software and also what we did is in order to convince the people is to make a video which I'm going to show you now this video is also available in Portuguese but I will show you now the English version of it and I would be also happy if you are willing to share this within your networks and to help us with our campaign so now we have to do some magic of the presentation here to see the video or not shall I push any buttons do anything in for a moment our government would treat our public infrastructure like our streets and public buildings the same way it treats our digital infrastructure our members of parliament would work in a rented space where they weren't allowed to vote in favor of stricter environmental laws because the owner a multinational corporation didn't allow that kind of voting in its buildings nor will it allow a long overdue upgrade to more than 500 seats this means some members of parliament have to stay outside in the street and a couple of blocks away a brand new gym is already being torn down just six months after it was built it's being replaced with an exact replica at great expense and the only difference the new manufacturer also provides streetball as an added feature meanwhile every night through a hidden backdoor in the city hall documents that contain sensitive information on citizens from bank data to health care records are being stolen but no one is allowed to do anything about it because searching for backdoors and locking them would infringe the signed user agreement and as absurd as this sounds when it comes to our digital infrastructure things like the software and programs that our governments are using every day this comparison is pretty accurate because mostly our administrations procure proprietary software this means a lot of money goes into licenses that last for a limited amount of time and restrict our rights we aren't allowed to use our infrastructure in a reasonable way and because the source code of proprietary software is usually a business secret finding security holes or deliberately installed backdoors is extremely difficult and even illegal but our public administrations can do better if all publicly financed software were to be free and open source we could use and share our infrastructure for anything and for as long as we wanted we could upgrade it repair it and remodel it in any way to fit our needs and because the open source in free software means that the blueprint is openly readable for everyone this makes it much easier to find and close security holes and if something practical and reliable was created digitally not only can you reuse the blueprint all over your country the actual thing itself can be deployed anywhere even internationally a great example of this is fix my street originally developed in Great Britain as a free software app to report view and discuss local problems like potholes it's now being used all over the world everyone benefits because new features and improvements are shared by everyone if all our software were developed like this we could stop struggling with restrictive licenses and could start thinking about where and how software could help us we could concentrate on creating a better society for everyone so if you think that tomorrow's infrastructure should be in our own hands help us now by sharing this video and visiting our website public code.eu it's time to make our demand public money public code well yes so I think the arguments on the table I guess you are somehow convinced because you are here on the open source conference but let's now convince our governments our administrations to switch to free and open source software help us by supporting our campaign and if you have any contacts to administrations which could be useful for this and who could be convinced by this campaign please let us know please get in contact with us and yeah let's fight for free and open source software in governments and administrations thank you. Thank you. Thank you Alexander. It's a great presentation and great video by the way and we'll be sharing it later on on the social networks and so on and in fact it's true almost everywhere because here in Portugal we face the same thing open source is everywhere but it has gone much further on the private sector than on the public sector so that makes us think and it's the same all over.
