We wanted to make something to help people understand what open source actually is. At our SF screening and panel at @kqednews.kqed.org, we talked about why that matters. Here are some highlights!

You probably use open source every single day whether you realize it or not. The open web powers more of your digital life than you might think. Code for the People explores why that's worth protecting. #OpenSource #OpenWeb

The internet is changing, and not necessarily for the better. It was built on open source. People sharing, building, and creating together. As more of the web moves into closed systems, understanding what's at stake has never been more important.

The open web gave people a place to create, connect, and find their voice. That's something worth protecting.

You should own your content, and you should be free to move it to whatever platform you want. Sadly, that is not always the case. This film from @codeforthepeople.com is a reminder of why people stand for open source and their values. Worth the 20' watch, trust me. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lQi...

Tomorrow. Code for the People is yours. The internet should be, too. The battle for a better, more open web isn’t new. But you’ve never seen it like this before. Are you ready?

@codeforthepeople.com screened in NYC on July 1. The questions the audience asked about open source, AI, and who controls the internet matter to everyone who builds, creates, or publishes online.
