Open source economy.
Series Description
From small associations to large industrial cooperatives, Solidarity Planet travels throughout Brazil (from Rio Grande do Sul, and Mato Grosso do Sul, to Bahia, Ceará, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo, and Minas Gerais) to show solidarity economy enterprises in the city and in the countryside.
The 13-episode series proves that a solidarity economy, public policies, and alternative management strategies are possible for a sustainable world. Each episode deals with a theme related to this mode of production and social organization and presents successful experiences, public policies, and alternative management strategies to the capitalist model.

00:01:15.730 --> 00:01:18.440
To start talking about
solidarity economy
00:01:18.440 --> 00:01:21.730
I would start from the
question of self-management.
00:01:21.730 --> 00:01:26.110
Self-management, understood as the
collective way of making decisions,
00:01:26.110 --> 00:01:28.410
and then there are different forms,
00:01:28.410 --> 00:01:31.990
Of course, the assembly is the
main form, the best known,
00:01:31.990 --> 00:01:36.330
but there are several ways that each group
collectively decides how it will decide.
00:01:36.330 --> 00:01:39.190
But beyond that, the collective decision,
00:01:39.260 --> 00:01:42.340
I think it is important to understand solidarity
economy not only as a mode of production,
00:01:42.340 --> 00:01:44.840
but also as a way of reproducing life,
00:01:44.840 --> 00:01:47.050
not only look at the productive enterprise
00:01:47.050 --> 00:01:49.720
but to look at the solidarity
economy as a way of life.
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:01.770
When the cooperative was created,
precisely for that purpose
00:02:01.770 --> 00:02:05.780
alignment with both the
ideals of free software,
00:02:05.780 --> 00:02:07.740
of solidarity economy,
00:02:07.740 --> 00:02:11.910
into an economic structure to be able
to sustain these people over time.
00:02:11.910 --> 00:02:14.000
How we work with free software
00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:18.250
we don\'t sell programs, we don\'t sell
the license to be able to use it,
00:02:18.250 --> 00:02:21.540
anyone today can take the
platforms that we develop
00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:25.440
and install it on their server, on their
computer and use it without saying anything to us.
00:02:25.440 --> 00:02:28.050
The only restriction they have, due
to the license we put in place,
00:02:28.050 --> 00:02:31.010
is that everything they do they are
obliged to return to the community,
00:02:31.010 --> 00:02:34.560
but anyone today can download our platforms
and use them without asking us,
00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:38.600
without saying anything, so we basically
survive by providing services.
00:02:38.600 --> 00:02:42.690
So the Noosphere for example,
which is our main platform,
00:02:42.690 --> 00:02:46.150
is a platform for building
social networks.
00:02:46.150 --> 00:02:50.280
The Noosphere is purely
basically like this.
00:02:52.620 --> 00:02:56.700
As Noosfero is a platform, there
is no social network Noosfero,
00:02:56.700 --> 00:02:59.120
there is no such thing, we
have instances of Noosfero,
00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.750
Osfero, but Noosfero
has a standard face,
00:03:00.750 --> 00:03:03.630
if for example you want to
install it on your computer
00:03:03.630 --> 00:03:07.340
or on your server and use it with the
normal face of it without customizing it,
00:03:07.340 --> 00:03:11.180
this is what it looks like by default,
of course many things here are configurable,
00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:15.060
this is a very basic system, which
even has fake data here, created.
00:03:19.270 --> 00:03:22.860
So, for example, today we work with
several universities that use Noosfero,
00:03:22.860 --> 00:03:26.230
we have UFBA that is using
Noosfero, we have USP,
00:03:26.230 --> 00:03:28.240
UnB in Brasília is using Noosfero,
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:32.070
and in these three initiatives
Colivre started as an installer,
00:03:32.070 --> 00:03:34.530
a project maintainer,
00:03:34.530 --> 00:03:37.370
and we ended up doing
training for students
00:03:37.370 --> 00:03:41.120
of universities learn to maintain
Noosfero and maintain on their own,
00:03:41.120 --> 00:03:44.540
so in the three instances today we
have organizations that maintain
00:03:44.540 --> 00:03:46.630
the Noosphere independently autonomously
00:03:46.630 --> 00:03:48.590
and who are also part of the community.
00:03:55.050 --> 00:03:57.310
I\'m Aurelio Heckert,
00:03:57.310 --> 00:04:00.270
one of the founding partners of Colivre,
00:04:00.270 --> 00:04:02.310
I am a programmer.
00:04:02.310 --> 00:04:05.730
It was born because
00:04:05.730 --> 00:04:09.570
of a vision that we had and
that we still have today
00:04:09.570 --> 00:04:15.410
about our responsibility
about a more ethical relationship
00:04:15.410 --> 00:04:17.700
of our services to society,
00:04:17.700 --> 00:04:21.660
we believed that we needed
to work with free software,
00:04:21.660 --> 00:04:24.960
needed to deliver free
software to society
00:04:24.960 --> 00:04:30.340
and we did not see the possibility of
working in this way in companies in Bahia,
00:04:30.340 --> 00:04:34.640
or very rare others in Brazil,
00:04:34.640 --> 00:04:38.890
and we also wanted a fairer
working relationship.
00:04:38.890 --> 00:04:43.480
These two perspectives led
us to build an enterprise
00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:46.560
to work exclusively
with free software
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:50.070
and this enterprise in the
form of a cooperative.
00:04:50.070 --> 00:04:53.990
This is from when we founded Colivre,
00:04:53.990 --> 00:04:56.990
it was a breakfast we made here in this room.
00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.160
This was the fanciest chair we had.
00:05:02.830 --> 00:05:05.920
We actually had mats here in this room,
00:05:05.920 --> 00:05:07.630
because we didn\'t have a couch.
00:05:11.090 --> 00:05:14.220
I started at Colivre
as an internship experience.
00:05:14.220 --> 00:05:17.680
I like this way, this horizontality
with which we work,
00:05:17.680 --> 00:05:20.100
with self-management.
00:05:20.100 --> 00:05:23.560
We do things in a very democratic way,
00:05:23.560 --> 00:05:26.190
between us, even when,
00:05:26.190 --> 00:05:30.980
not only among partners,
even with an intern,
00:05:30.980 --> 00:05:35.110
and that enchanted me, I liked
it a lot, I identified myself,
00:05:35.110 --> 00:05:37.450
and decided to invest and stay.
00:05:37.450 --> 00:05:40.700
And I\'m there in that fight to this day.
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:45.210
Aureo? Don\'t you want to take the opportunity
to see this layout thing with me?
00:05:48.580 --> 00:05:52.000
A software to be able to be free effectively,
00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:54.720
must have at least four guaranteed freedoms.
00:05:54.720 --> 00:05:59.760
So the freedom of being able to
be used without asking anyone,
00:05:59.760 --> 00:06:02.810
the freedom to know how it works,
00:06:02.810 --> 00:06:05.430
study how it works and see how it works,
00:06:05.430 --> 00:06:09.980
the freedom to be able to redistribute
this program also freely,
00:06:09.980 --> 00:06:14.490
and the freedom to change it and
redistribute with your change,
00:06:14.490 --> 00:06:16.110
without also asking anyone.
00:06:19.410 --> 00:06:23.870
The concept of copyleft is quite interesting,
which was kind of a copyright reversal,
00:06:23.870 --> 00:06:26.870
it was a way that people
invented to compel,
00:06:26.870 --> 00:06:30.790
using the copyright, you to share the
code and guarantee the freedoms.
00:06:30.790 --> 00:06:33.840
The source code is like a text in practice,
00:06:33.840 --> 00:06:36.010
so this is basically what you\'re seeing,
00:06:36.010 --> 00:06:40.760
These are visually complex files,
00:06:40.760 --> 00:06:43.810
for those who don\'t know a
little about programming.
00:06:46.180 --> 00:06:47.940
When we think of another economy,
00:06:47.940 --> 00:06:51.230
we have to think of technologies
that favor this type of economy,
00:06:51.230 --> 00:06:56.190
as we had said before, a technology
that favors a collective organization,
00:06:56.190 --> 00:06:59.780
that does not favor a break in knowledge,
00:06:59.780 --> 00:07:03.410
a hierarchy of knowledge.
00:07:03.410 --> 00:07:07.870
So it\'s a technology that allows
this more horizontal way of life,
00:07:07.870 --> 00:07:09.670
fairer and more egalitarian.
00:07:11.170 --> 00:07:12.750
Well, it was a challenge, right?
00:07:12.750 --> 00:07:16.510
When we started this journey,
00:07:16.510 --> 00:07:19.010
since the beginning of the
Cultura Viva program,
00:07:19.010 --> 00:07:21.220
a program of the ministry
of culture and such,
00:07:21.220 --> 00:07:25.600
one of the pillars of the Cultura Viva
program was the digital culture part
00:07:25.600 --> 00:07:27.310
and use of free software.
00:07:27.310 --> 00:07:32.610
We\'ve embraced it fully since 2004
00:07:32.610 --> 00:07:39.950
and in 2010 we started to develop activities
for the production company Colabor@tiva.PE.
00:07:39.950 --> 00:07:42.820
And we are fighting
00:07:42.820 --> 00:07:48.410
trying to strengthen the groups
that have joined the network,
00:07:48.410 --> 00:07:52.250
and trying to disseminate this proposal.
00:07:53.000 --> 00:07:55.670
Being in the classroom process really.
00:07:57.460 --> 00:07:58.510
Good Morning
00:08:13.060 --> 00:08:16.150
They act in a network, within
the logic of commerciality,
00:08:16.150 --> 00:08:18.940
of self-management logic,
is fundamental.
00:08:18.940 --> 00:08:23.160
And cover as many
dimensions as possible.
00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.570
We provide information,
00:08:25.570 --> 00:08:29.700
communication, entrepreneurship,
00:08:29.700 --> 00:08:31.750
and the staff of the
Free Technologies Center
00:08:31.750 --> 00:08:35.920
takes care of reverse
logistics, meta-recycling.
00:08:36.000 --> 00:08:40.550
If we bring it to two great
dimensions, sustainability,
00:08:40.550 --> 00:08:44.340
both from an environmental
and an economic point of view.
00:08:45.680 --> 00:08:49.520
It was I think in 2013
that I made this video.
00:08:49.520 --> 00:08:52.020
That doesn\'t have much
to do with editing,
00:08:52.020 --> 00:08:55.860
it has an editing part and
it has a finishing part,
00:08:55.860 --> 00:08:57.900
it\'s more about the work
of choosing the photos.
00:08:59.230 --> 00:09:01.650
“Who wanted the letter o?”
Do you have the letter p?”
00:09:02.950 --> 00:09:05.320
We think about the disposition,
00:09:05.320 --> 00:09:06.660
and in the elements that we will use,
00:09:06.660 --> 00:09:10.080
to be able to remember the
elements that we used, okay?
00:09:10.080 --> 00:09:15.170
Then we\'ll do it one by one.
Bang, bang and matching the photos.
00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:57.670
Every technology has
values in several areas,
00:09:57.670 --> 00:10:00.710
I mean, it\'s not just technical,
00:10:00.710 --> 00:10:04.340
so it has social, environmental
and cultural issues,
00:10:04.340 --> 00:10:07.510
you have to understand all reality
00:10:07.510 --> 00:10:10.220
and then of course the engineers,
me as an engineer,
00:10:10.220 --> 00:10:14.310
we won\'t handle it alone,
we need a team,
00:10:14.310 --> 00:10:17.020
need to work together
with people from different areas
00:10:17.020 --> 00:10:20.110
for us to be able to think technologies
that really contribute
00:10:20.110 --> 00:10:24.150
for this economy that is diverse,
which is complex.
00:10:24.150 --> 00:10:27.990
And to think what engineering is this,
for example, software for this movement,
00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:31.240
how do you build it otherwise,
00:10:31.240 --> 00:10:33.790
more participatory,
00:10:33.790 --> 00:10:39.120
trying to build technologies that allow
this collective management within the technology,
00:10:39.120 --> 00:10:42.170
that has a much easier control
panel for the user to use
00:10:42.170 --> 00:10:44.630
and for them to be able to become
a system administrator too,
00:10:44.630 --> 00:10:46.380
not be dependent on anyone.
00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:01.440
I\'ll try to avoid being a big document,
00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:03.440
It won\'t be big, it\'s going
to be a short text.
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:08.490
But I\'m going to point to things, how is
the challenge between accessing the internet,
00:11:08.490 --> 00:11:10.860
to load data and the local process
00:11:10.860 --> 00:11:14.370
that a cell phone that may
have low processing power.
00:11:15.700 --> 00:11:21.580
Software development,
unlike you making a shoe,
00:11:21.580 --> 00:11:26.210
it is a very abstract
type of production.
00:11:26.210 --> 00:11:31.550
People in general, as there is no
broad process of digital literacy,
00:11:31.550 --> 00:11:34.350
there is no comprehensive
process in schools,
00:11:34.350 --> 00:11:37.600
to understand how software is made,
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:41.060
at most today you learn to use something,
00:11:41.060 --> 00:11:46.030
but there is no education
that makes people understand
00:11:46.030 --> 00:11:49.650
what is behind a software,
what is the code, etc.
00:11:52.410 --> 00:11:56.830
And these systems that we
see on the internet today,
00:11:56.830 --> 00:11:59.290
these software that are online,
00:11:59.290 --> 00:12:03.250
often depend on the community,
on many people using,
00:12:03.250 --> 00:12:10.420
of many people giving input to
this system to make it work,
00:12:10.420 --> 00:12:12.220
only it never works alone,
00:12:12.220 --> 00:12:15.470
we think that Facebook works alone,
00:12:15.470 --> 00:12:18.890
put the code there and go.
No, there is a whole dynamic
00:12:18.890 --> 00:12:21.350
that makes people put things in there,
00:12:21.350 --> 00:12:23.770
there are people who animate that
00:12:23.770 --> 00:12:26.110
and that encourage that use
00:12:26.110 --> 00:12:29.610
for these dynamics to take place.
00:12:30.070 --> 00:12:32.450
“So how is it showing up to me
over there in that place?”
00:12:32.450 --> 00:12:36.370
\"Files bar appears,\"
00:12:36.370 --> 00:12:40.290
- Username bar
- Username, slash, and so on, all.
00:12:40.290 --> 00:12:42.210
\"You don\'t want to be on
that case, do you?\"
00:12:44.630 --> 00:12:45.830
\"Ready.\"
00:12:45.830 --> 00:12:48.750
“There the tree.”
00:12:48.750 --> 00:12:52.840
“And what format is it
in, the tree?”
00:12:52.840 --> 00:12:57.970
\"Clean? Don\'t you have an
ID that\'s meaningful?\"
00:12:57.970 --> 00:12:59.430
\"I do not think so.\"
00:12:59.430 --> 00:13:01.980
“Yes but how are we
going to order later?”
00:13:04.440 --> 00:13:06.980
\"The level, level?\"
00:13:06.980 --> 00:13:08.860
\"The tree was good
to have level too. \"
00:13:10.110 --> 00:13:11.820
\"OK.\"
00:13:11.820 --> 00:13:15.240
- So we\'ll have to pass a level?
- I think I had to pass a level, that.
00:13:18.410 --> 00:13:20.450
\"Zero, over here, level.\"
00:13:22.160 --> 00:13:25.420
You won\'t be able to film much of
what we\'re going to talk about, but
00:13:25.420 --> 00:13:29.290
this here is the real world,
00:13:29.290 --> 00:13:31.380
and this is the world of the matrix.
00:13:31.380 --> 00:13:33.670
So this here,
00:13:33.670 --> 00:13:36.970
these lines of code,
generate this cute thing.
00:13:36.970 --> 00:13:42.220
On Whatsapp, on Facebook, a beautiful thing
that you are using on your cell phone.
00:13:42.220 --> 00:13:44.980
when you have two people
around the same code,
00:13:44.980 --> 00:13:50.270
one of the people is very focused
with the formal processes,
00:13:50.270 --> 00:13:55.450
of being able to guarantee that the protocols
can walk from one side to the other and such,
00:13:55.450 --> 00:13:58.780
and the other person is still
remembering the original question,
00:13:58.780 --> 00:14:00.990
of the original problem that got us into it,
00:14:00.990 --> 00:14:04.620
because a traditional thing that happens a
lot in programming is that you open parentheses,
00:14:04.620 --> 00:14:09.250
open parentheses, open parentheses...
So you get into a thing
00:14:09.250 --> 00:14:11.670
then you go to do that,
\"hold on\"
00:14:11.670 --> 00:14:14.050
then you solve something here
\"didn\'t solve it\"
00:14:14.050 --> 00:14:16.930
then you have to do something else to
solve this here, it goes on solving,
00:14:16.930 --> 00:14:18.430
and remember that you have it all here,
00:14:18.430 --> 00:14:20.720
you have to remember you\'re doing it all
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:21.970
because of this here.
00:14:21.970 --> 00:14:23.850
To solve something up there...
00:14:23.850 --> 00:14:27.060
So if there\'s someone with you,
you\'re going to get in trouble
00:14:27.060 --> 00:14:31.860
and go there, go here, and think
\"Wait, this is what I had to do at the end\"
00:14:31.860 --> 00:14:34.070
Almost like entering a cave,
00:14:34.070 --> 00:14:37.650
one is there holding the rope
up there and the other...
00:14:37.650 --> 00:14:40.070
And the other one who is holding
the rope up there is talking
00:14:40.070 --> 00:14:44.120
\"Wait my friend, we were digging
to find diamonds, it wasn\'t gold,
00:14:44.120 --> 00:14:46.460
you\'re already finding gold.\"
00:14:53.640 --> 00:14:55.550
When you are going to develop a system,
00:14:55.550 --> 00:15:00.720
we always think in the simplest
possible way, for lay people.
00:15:00.720 --> 00:15:04.510
This has a good side, we want
anyone with little knowledge
00:15:04.510 --> 00:15:06.310
have access to technology,
00:15:06.310 --> 00:15:10.560
but at the same time technology cannot
arrest people at that level of knowledge.
00:15:10.560 --> 00:15:13.400
And in the solidarity economy we have
more clarity that it is very important
00:15:13.400 --> 00:15:17.400
that those who pass the software
specifications are the end users themselves,
00:15:17.400 --> 00:15:19.910
who will be using the
system on a daily basis.
00:15:19.910 --> 00:15:22.280
So the process is much more participatory,
00:15:22.280 --> 00:15:24.580
from the beginning of software design.
00:15:28.040 --> 00:15:31.580
We are going there to Culture Point,
00:15:31.580 --> 00:15:33.960
at the Coco Cultural Center in Umbigada.
00:15:47.350 --> 00:15:48.600
\"Good afternoon.\"
00:15:50.560 --> 00:15:53.190
\"What\'s up?\"
00:15:53.190 --> 00:15:54.690
\"Alright?\"
00:15:54.690 --> 00:15:56.190
Let\'s go up there.
00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:00.490
What\'s up, Daniel? All good, brother?
00:16:11.750 --> 00:16:15.380
I am mother Beth of Oshun,
I am Ialorixá from Terreiro Ilê Axé Oxum
00:16:15.380 --> 00:16:19.340
from the Umbigada terreiro,
which is a terreiro of African origin
00:16:19.340 --> 00:16:23.430
Nagô nation, in Pernambuco.
00:16:23.430 --> 00:16:26.100
I am the coordinator here at the
Coco de Umbigada Culture Point,
00:16:26.100 --> 00:16:27.850
I\'m a communicator,
00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:32.440
I am a member of the Free Media Collective,
00:16:32.440 --> 00:16:34.520
of media-bookstores Nordeste Livre.
00:16:34.520 --> 00:16:36.320
The Culture Points were active,
00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.400
the crowd was circulating in the
country giving a radio workshop...
00:16:40.400 --> 00:16:42.110
Are there collectives still?
The Culture Point?
00:16:42.110 --> 00:16:44.950
That had an opening, \"there the
coconut, mother Beth, go there?
00:16:44.950 --> 00:16:47.410
the woman has a damn good
conversation, let\'s go\"
00:16:47.410 --> 00:16:50.620
They arrived here. \"Welcome.\"
00:16:50.620 --> 00:16:55.210
And then we did the training in radio,
00:16:55.210 --> 00:16:58.050
training including in radio software,
00:16:58.050 --> 00:17:00.050
radio automation software,
00:17:00.050 --> 00:17:03.430
vignette, many things, and the guy
\"The radio is not that little object\"
00:17:03.430 --> 00:17:06.970
because we have the idea that
the radio is there, playing and you don\'t feel it,
00:17:06.970 --> 00:17:09.350
It doesn\'t even seem like
it moves that much.
00:17:09.350 --> 00:17:11.930
So we are developing
artificial intelligence,
00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:17.270
we are looking at an
application project,
00:17:17.270 --> 00:17:20.650
training programmers,
because you need to train programmers.
00:17:20.650 --> 00:17:23.070
We have to have a strategy
for our society.
00:17:23.070 --> 00:17:27.160
And it goes through programming, so
you can understand the code and change.
00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:28.620
Take it out of the hands
of the guys, right?
00:17:34.040 --> 00:17:35.870
My name is Daniel Luis,
00:17:35.870 --> 00:17:39.670
I am trained here by the Coco
de Umbigada Culture Point.
00:17:39.670 --> 00:17:43.670
My story comes from here at the Culture
Point, it comes from here in the community.
00:17:43.670 --> 00:17:46.550
I started my research in the audio area,
00:17:46.550 --> 00:17:52.680
that\'s where I fell in love, recording,
editing, mixing, mastering, sound.
00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.730
We were always studying,
creating studio,
00:17:56.730 --> 00:18:01.570
playing, the band‚ recording, every
show we went to we recorded,
00:18:01.570 --> 00:18:04.320
brought to the laboratory, studied,
00:18:04.320 --> 00:18:10.910
So there came a time when we decided
to expand this universe of technology.
00:18:10.910 --> 00:18:17.290
So Ifa Tales came to meet
a demand that we had
00:18:17.290 --> 00:18:22.590
of dissemination of knowledge
of Afro-Brazilian culture.
00:18:24.010 --> 00:18:27.010
This is the first
version of the platform,
00:18:27.010 --> 00:18:29.720
made in javascript and HTML5,
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:34.890
using parallax and Scroll,
which are two accessible technologies.
00:18:39.810 --> 00:18:42.150
The game is developed by young people
00:18:42.150 --> 00:18:44.690
here from the Guadalupe community,
00:18:44.690 --> 00:18:46.280
fully collaborative.
00:18:46.280 --> 00:18:49.780
This is also supported
by partner developers.
00:19:06.090 --> 00:19:08.340
We developed the platform
00:19:08.340 --> 00:19:11.640
with the aim of reaching more
and more young people
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:14.680
and disseminate this
culture of African origin,
00:19:14.680 --> 00:19:17.140
our orixás, for a game.
00:19:21.150 --> 00:19:24.270
This one is a game
which is being developed now,
00:19:24.270 --> 00:19:25.400
at this moment,
00:19:25.400 --> 00:19:27.610
which is the story of
the Escape from Iansa.
00:19:29.820 --> 00:19:32.410
We have to have increasingly
multidisciplinary teams,
00:19:32.410 --> 00:19:37.660
involving sociologists, anthropologists,
communicators, economists, engineers,
00:19:37.660 --> 00:19:41.210
who can think this technology
from the concrete,
00:19:41.210 --> 00:19:44.170
from the concrete demands
of these groups
00:19:44.170 --> 00:19:47.510
that we have these
fairer relationships
00:19:47.510 --> 00:19:51.550
and within a society where these
things are all much more intertwined.
00:19:53.430 --> 00:19:55.930
The issue for example
of this plural life,
00:19:55.930 --> 00:19:57.850
Indigenous people live
this very well,
00:19:57.850 --> 00:20:01.440
where they do not separate the economy
from society, from politics, from culture.
00:20:01.440 --> 00:20:03.190
So technology has
to favor this,
00:20:03.190 --> 00:20:06.570
has to favor that these diverse
forms of way of life
00:20:06.570 --> 00:20:10.070
can be conjugated
and not separated.
00:20:16.660 --> 00:20:19.700
Now, the okra has seeds, look.
00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:21.500
Shall we see here?
00:20:22.580 --> 00:20:25.340
I don\'t remember the
exact year anymore,
00:20:25.340 --> 00:20:29.050
but it was six or seven years ago,
I think it was in 2011 if I\'m not mistaken,
00:20:29.050 --> 00:20:32.260
that we had a meeting
where we baptized the EITA
00:20:32.260 --> 00:20:36.640
and it was created... I don\'t know if it
was 2011 or 2012, I don\'t know the exact date.
00:20:36.640 --> 00:20:41.730
But EITA, Education, Information
and Technology for Self-Management,
00:20:41.730 --> 00:20:44.810
was born with that name,
00:20:44.810 --> 00:20:46.820
and the idea is to develop free technologies
00:20:46.820 --> 00:20:49.400
in order to support the
struggles of social movements.
00:20:50.150 --> 00:20:51.650
“Is the audio bad? \"
00:20:51.650 --> 00:20:54.280
“The audio is good but it\'s taking
a long time, it has a lot of lag.”
00:20:54.280 --> 00:20:55.620
\"The video doesn\'t even move.\"
00:20:55.620 --> 00:20:57.580
\"Maybe you\'d better
take the video down.\"
00:20:57.580 --> 00:20:59.160
“It’s better to do audio only.”
00:21:03.620 --> 00:21:06.750
And our daily life, how does it work,
00:21:06.750 --> 00:21:09.340
every week we have a meeting,
which is sacred,
00:21:09.340 --> 00:21:11.590
it\'s like having a coffee
together virtually,
00:21:11.590 --> 00:21:14.880
because people live far away,
00:21:14.880 --> 00:21:16.760
that was always a challenge for us.
00:21:16.760 --> 00:21:22.230
“it\'s a time project, so
to quote what he said:”
00:21:22.230 --> 00:21:25.900
\"we want to establish a two to
three year contract with you\"
00:21:25.900 --> 00:21:29.820
but I think it\'s for them... To realize
that they understand it\'s something big,
00:21:29.820 --> 00:21:31.110
that is being done.
00:21:31.110 --> 00:21:33.070
“...a proposal there in the group.”
00:21:33.070 --> 00:21:35.110
\"I saw
- We\'re going to start a
00:21:35.110 --> 00:21:37.740
“But so my deadline was
last week, is that it? \"
00:21:39.240 --> 00:21:42.620
- Actually I think the deadline
was mine, I didn\'t make it
00:21:42.620 --> 00:21:46.630
The daily life of our cooperative
has evolved over the years,
00:21:46.630 --> 00:21:49.090
It\'s been many years that
we\'ve been together.
00:21:49.090 --> 00:21:53.120
We are viable, we are seeing that
our enterprise is economically viable,
00:21:53.120 --> 00:21:55.760
we even want to support the
creation of other ventures,
00:21:55.760 --> 00:21:58.600
because we are realizing that there
is a lot of work in this area
00:21:58.600 --> 00:22:01.510
of information technologies,
to support social movements,
00:22:01.510 --> 00:22:05.390
because conventional companies
do not understand social movements.
00:22:05.390 --> 00:22:09.190
A software company has a very
business-oriented language,
00:22:09.190 --> 00:22:13.860
it doesn\'t have a language that can
understand the peasant movement,
00:22:13.860 --> 00:22:16.660
who can understand the
trade union movement,
00:22:16.660 --> 00:22:20.280
who can understand
gender issues,
00:22:20.280 --> 00:22:23.080
violence against women,
the women\'s movement,
00:22:23.080 --> 00:22:25.790
so this is a very big
strength that we have.
00:22:31.130 --> 00:22:35.590
I usually say that when you
take a conventional company,
00:22:35.840 --> 00:22:39.300
it has an issue that links people,
00:22:39.300 --> 00:22:40.600
who is the boss.
00:22:40.600 --> 00:22:42.390
is a given hierarchy,
00:22:42.390 --> 00:22:43.890
that is already there,
00:22:43.890 --> 00:22:46.350
and people even fighting stay there,
00:22:46.350 --> 00:22:50.060
because it has the authority of the
boss who maintains the bond, that cohesion.
00:22:50.060 --> 00:22:53.860
The solidarity economy, an enterprise
like the EITA, part of the lack of that,
00:22:53.860 --> 00:22:55.740
we don\'t have that element of cohesion,
00:22:55.860 --> 00:22:59.530
so we need to build others
cohesion elements,
00:22:59.530 --> 00:23:01.660
such as commitment,
00:23:01.660 --> 00:23:04.120
an alignment with it\'s ultimate
mission of the cooperative,
00:23:04.120 --> 00:23:07.370
that is, cooperative project,
it is very aligned.
00:23:07.540 --> 00:23:11.330
One thing I feel like doing
while I\'m here in Caldas
00:23:11.330 --> 00:23:13.130
is to go there in Cicobe
00:23:13.130 --> 00:23:16.380
for us to think about the
transfer of the account.
00:23:16.380 --> 00:23:20.260
And today what sustains
our family is EITA,
00:23:20.260 --> 00:23:21.850
so we live on that.
00:23:21.850 --> 00:23:23.970
Of course, it\'s not a big payout.
00:23:23.970 --> 00:23:27.640
considering other ventures,
other companies,
00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:29.810
in this area of information technology,
00:23:29.810 --> 00:23:32.060
but i always had a philosophy
00:23:32.060 --> 00:23:37.690
that you have a cheap lifestyle
00:23:37.690 --> 00:23:39.570
gives you freedom.
00:23:39.570 --> 00:23:41.820
You have an expensive lifestyle
00:23:41.820 --> 00:23:45.910
ties you to certain types of setbacks
that you have to face in terms of work
00:23:45.910 --> 00:23:48.160
in order to maintain a huge income.
00:23:49.080 --> 00:23:53.540
“...enjoy the trip to Brasilia and
try to leave with the... “
00:23:53.540 --> 00:23:56.380
\"Sometimes you can find
Gisley if necessary...\"
00:23:56.380 --> 00:24:00.970
The EITA, we understand it
as a solidarity economy initiative
00:24:00.970 --> 00:24:06.510
because it was born with that intention
and seeks every day in these seven years,
00:24:06.510 --> 00:24:12.850
to practice in it\'s practices what
the solidarity economy is for us,
00:24:12.850 --> 00:24:14.940
being together, working together,
00:24:14.940 --> 00:24:20.450
and promoting another society,
a society with free knowledge,
00:24:20.450 --> 00:24:23.110
recognizing different knowledge,
00:24:23.110 --> 00:24:25.490
and looking and practicing, right,
00:24:25.490 --> 00:24:28.620
the exercise of horizontality,
of equality.
00:24:39.760 --> 00:24:41.510
\"But you\'re bad, huh.\"
00:24:41.510 --> 00:24:42.590
“Why?”
00:24:42.590 --> 00:24:44.090
“Make it strong.”
00:24:44.090 --> 00:24:46.550
“That\'s it”
00:24:48.850 --> 00:24:52.230
“Can it be so?”
00:24:52.230 --> 00:24:53.900
“Yes, it turned out great.”
00:24:53.900 --> 00:24:56.440
\"Now we have to see if it
really cools down, right?\"
00:24:57.610 --> 00:24:59.570
“It cools down really fast.”
00:25:12.580 --> 00:25:14.620
I think we\'re early.
00:25:19.840 --> 00:25:21.170
