- 1. Open Source: The Punk Rock of the 21st Century Mark R. Hinkle VP of Marketing The Linux Foundation @mrhinkle
- 2. I am a fan of open source @mrhinkle
- 6. ….many bands self-produced recordings and distributed them through informal channels….technical accessibility and a DIY spirit are prized in punk rock…….Punk rock is meant to be our freedom. We're meant to be able to do what we want to do…. The issue of authenticity is important in the punk subculture—the pejorative term "poseur" is applied to those who associate with punk and adopt its stylistic attributes but are deemed not to share or understand the underlying values and philosophy…. At the end of the 20th century, punk rock had been adopted by the mainstream, as pop punk and punk rock bands such as Green Day, the Offspring and Blink-182 brought the genre to widespread popularity.

Editor's Notes
- I don’t code, at least not well. I don’t write documentation However, I do talk maybe too much. So that’s why I do marketing. And I live her in Raleigh so I didn’t have to jump on a plane this week. This summer I went to Linuxcon and I watched this talk about “Open for good” and was inspired and I made some notes. I was really excited about the idea of what we could do with open source beyond IT. So when Todd called me Monday I was excited because I love to talk to people about open source. In true open source spirit I thought I’d take those ideas and riff and spread the message and hopefully inspire someone else the way that person inspired me. Then I asked where do you want me in your program, he said. Right after Jim Whitehurst
- In case you haven’t guessed it, Jim was the guy at the open source event got me all fired up.
- So I figured quoting Ghandi was out..but I really thought it was worth riffing on Jm’s message and there’s more that can and should be said. So I thought I would take my inspiration from someone who also inspires people and is often mentioned in the same breathe as Ghandi…
- Punkrock icon, activist, global citizen and storyteller. Henry Rollins. I knew his music but a few weeks ago I started listening to what he had to say in talks hosted on YouTube. Really amazing, he blew my hair back..He’s not only a performer but someone who has given a lot of thought about the world he lives in. He shares stories on stage and I said, “I got to go see him in person. So I check on line and it turned out he was in Durham that weekend by pure chance. So I caught his show with some of my open source friends here in town Rikki Edensley from Open Source.com and Joe Brockmeier from Red Hat. And he tells a lot of stories about punk rock history and people’s he’s met. And he along with Jim Whitehurst really got me thinking….
- The similiarities between the two mediums is striking Self-produced Informal channels Technical Accessibility DIY spirit Freedom And by the end of the 21st century it had risen to become a mainstream movement. Album art - In God We Trust, Inc. is a hardcore punk EP by the Dead Kennedys. On the original cassette version, Side A contained all 8 songs, with Side B being left intentionally blank. Printed on Side B was the explanation, "Home taping is killing record industry profits! We left this side blank so you can help."[2]
- Joey Ramone - Joey Ramone, was an American musician and singer-songwriter, lead vocalist of the punk rock band the Ramones. Joey Ramone's image, voice, and tenure as frontman of the Ramones made him a countercultural icon. Richard Stallman - Stallman pioneered the concept of copyleft, and is the main author of the GNU General Public License, the most widely used free software license, which implements copyleft. He is the leader of the Free Software movement and the Executive Diirector of the Free Software Foundation
- John Beverly, born John Simon Ritchie, later named Sid Vicious, was an English musician, most famous as the bass guitarist of the influential punk rock band the Sex Pistol Linus Benedict Torvalds is a Finnish software engineer who is the creator and, for a long time, principal developer, of the Linux kernel; which became the kernel for operating systems such as Android and Chrome OS.
- We are in a unique place as open source in it’s infancy was often described as, “Just like xyz but free and open source.” Just like Oracle but free and open source. Just like Unix but free and open source. Those days are long gone. Today everyone has access to best of breed tools that are free and open source. We have a voice for better or worse through the internet on Twitter, Facebook or a blog. We have access to an world-wide network to share ideas and learn from others. The punk rock analogy would be as if we gave everyone who played music access to a free Fender Stratocaster and agreed to play all their songs on the radio 40.
- We like to say that our biggest wins in open source have come from someone scratching their own itch. Linux Torvalds wanted to run a Unix operating system on a personal computer. Solomon Hykes was trying to run a Platform-as-a-Service company called DotCloud.cloud when he came up with Docker. Some people like RMS lead change because of philosphical reasons. What they all have it common was that for practical or philosophical reasons they moved the ball forward.
- On June 4, 2012 things got very personal for me. This is my view from the emergency room at Rex Hospital in Raleigh. I had an accident and tore the quad tendon in my right leg, the patellar tendon in my right. I couldn’t walk, and what I soon found out was that while we can operate a drone strike to within a few feet from halfway around the world. Kim Kardasian can send a picture of her backside to 20 million people instantly from her cell phone. Our medical technology especially in orthopedics moves very slowly. So for the next seven months I went from hospital, to rehab to a nursing home. Spent hundreds of hours in physical therapy and had a lot of time to think, read and ponder this. In information technology, I had access to powerful technology and capabilities, things moved fast and we solved big problems. If I needed to solve a digial problem I went and downloaded it or coded it or found someone smarter than me to code it. In the medical field, I got a lot of.” This is the best we can do.” and a ton of uncertainty. Given the stakes and suffering involved I think we can do better and we need to do better.
- I thought the 6 million dollar man from my youth would be a reality as computer networks had evolved I though we surely had to have some level of the snazzy things thing I had seen back in the 70s, some 35 years earlier. Boy was I wrong. The progress in medical technology was pretty disturbing. In 1912, D.W. Dorrance manufactured the first split hook design because he was dissatisfied with the terminal devices available. He traveled the country showing his innovation to physicians, prosthetist, and amputees alike. His clever and efficient innovation caught on to become a standard in functional terminal devices for amputees. The hook is still manufactured today by the Hosmer company.

- While I convalesced in my hospital bed I thought a lot about this topic and recalled a talk I heard at BarCamp in Raleigh hosted att Red Hat in July 2006 This guy was talking about open source hardware but not the kind of hardware you and I think about. He was talking about prosthetics and how that industry lagged behind. Jonathan was an amputee and a war veteran and he started something called the Open Prosthetic Project because he wanted a better option than the sad and expensive opitons afforded to him. Open source for Jonathan can hardly get an more personal. Especially when a simple automatic prosthetic can cost in excess of $60,000, lacks a lot of expected functionality and will probably not last a lifetime.
- So while we saw exponential growth in the power in transistors on silicon, I’d believe that the catalyst for exponential growth in medicine could be driven by open source collaboration. So everywhere I go and any chance I get to tell people about how they can improve things outside of IT using open source, If we can apply that same principles of sharing and collaborative development we can reduce human suffering.
- Easton LaChappelle Arduino boards Linux When LaChappelle was just 14, he made his first robotic hand. He didn’t have proper equipment, so he used LEGOs and fishing wire. He didn’t have a lab, so he built his creation in his bedroom. Later, at the 2011 Colorado state science fair, LaChappelle’s robotic hand clinched third place. But something perhaps even more significant happened at that event, forever changing the teen’s life.
- And this is what excites me about open source. Open Source for good. I have a personal interest in seeing these things improve because in all likelihood, I’ll need them. I think many of us will or have family members or friends that will as well. One of the key ways open source works is that everyone acts in a way that is good for their self interest and acts in the best of the group.
- I would ilke to commend Todd and the All Things Open for their code of conduct commitment to diversity and maintaining a code of conduct that is inclusive and doesn’t tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form” It great to see that…. especially as we are gathering in the shadow of the NC legistrature who passed some silly laws to the contrary. Luckily we’ll have a chance to share our opinions on that with our government in the upcoming election.
- Not all of you may know this but for software to be considered open source it has to meet certain criteria. Those criteria are spelled out in the open source definition maintained by the Open Source Initiaitve which ”certifes” open source licenses. The thing that’s really interesting about the definitiion is how much it spells out the terms of inclusiveness. See the highlighted bullet points in blue. No Descriminiation against people or groups. How cool is that The bottom line is that thing are better when you include more people, you get more ideas, you get more points of view. Court diversity find someone who is different than you and find out what they are about. That also means that you have to include companies in the party, as long as they play by the rules. I’ve noticed an anti-establishment vibe in a lot of open source communities and I just don’t get it. Commercial support has driven acceleration and succes in almost every successful open source technology. No descrimination is no descrimination. It will help you make better software, better communities and a better world.
- Open Source is not just about sharing code it’s about sharing information and experience.
- I commend anyone that gets up in front of a room full of people and tells their story. It’s hard. But it’s the real good stuff. People can train me how to use open source software and that’s important but the experiences they share first hand are what I find to be the most valauble.
- MakerKIds and Kids on Computers hosted a whole day at Linuxcon to educate kids on how to install Linux and to hack on Arduino microcrontollers to control robots. It’s important to share your experience and create a new generation of hackers, makers and programmers. So we can seed more Easton LaChapelle’s solving big problems.
- Not only the technical but the culture and ideals of open source.
- I went to Linuxcon and I watched this talk and was inspired and I made some notes. I was really excited about the idea of what we could do. So when Todd called me Monday I was excited because I love to talk to people about open source. So in true open source spirit I thought I’d take those ideas and riff and spread the message and hopefully inspire someone else the way that person inspired me. Then I asked where do you want me in your program, he said. Right after Jim Whitehurst
- Get out from behind the keyboard and meet people. The water’s nice. It’s a lot harder to fight with someone you have met. No matter how many emoji’s you use nothing is a substitute for human contact. Get off the Slack Channel and look someone in the eye and have a conversation. Learn from those people and share your ideas and experience.
