I completely forgot about this. I was interviewed for a documentary about the internet, The People's Cloud, which has just come out. I'm in several episodes, but I start already at episode 1, at 1 minute 15. You can watch the full documentary at http://thepeoplescloud.org.

"30th anniversary of licensing the Web for general use and at no cost" by Coralie Mercier Sunday marked the 30th anniversary of the release of the World Wide Web into the public domain, for general use, and at no cost, on 30 April 1993 by CERN. This quiet gesture, advocated by Web inventor Sir Tim Berners-Lee, has had implications beyond what he or anyone imagined at that time: the Web, free for everyone, has changed our lives. Sir Tim Berners-Lee founded the World Wide Web Consortium in 1994 as an international multi-stakeholder consortium to advance a consistent architecture accommodating progress in web standards, where member organizations, a full-time staff, and the public develop open web standards. CERN’s decision to provide unencumbered access to the basic Web protocols and software developed there was instrumental to the success of the technical work done at the World Wide Web Consortium. The decision to base the Web on royalty-free standards from the beginning has been vital to its success. The open platform of royalty-free standards enabled software companies to profit by selling new products with powerful features, enabled e-commerce companies to profit from services that grew on this foundation, and brought social benefits in the non-commercial realm beyond simple economic valuation. Our vision for the future is a Web that is truly a force for good. A World Wide Web that is international and inclusive, respectful of its users. A Web that supports truth better than falsehood, people more than profits, humanity rather than hate. A Web that works for everyone, because of everyone.

Sixty years ago, in the night of 16th Feb 1963, Berlage's first building burnt down in Amsterdam. All that now remains of that building are 13 of the 14 relief sculptures of the heads of 14 famous mathematicians that adorned the building. Since 1980 they are embedded in the wall of a stairwell of the CWI at the Science Park Amsterdam. In 2018 I wrote an article about them. https://lnkd.in/eBStbZNj Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica

Steven, this is a highly informative series of short docs. Matt's gorgeous cinema-photography, sound design and animations transform it into an engaging watch. Many topics brought up resonate: how the global network is not one thing that can be managed, but must be managed by what in reality is only a few hundred people around the world; the sheer amount of energy needed to run the Cloud and how we are limited by access to electricity and our ability to cope with waste heat; who owns dark fibre; and perhaps my favourite topic as an Islander: submarine cables. It's great to see open conversations about the resource footprints, competitive advantages and just how big Big Data really is. And a fantastic resource for teaching - thank you for sharing.
