Code for the People

Code for the People is playing all day today at #WCUS! Watch our 20-minute documentary short from director Bao Nguyen about the open web, open source, and what it actually means to own your corner of the internet. Screenings every 30 minutes from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.! 🧵

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

A serious cause deserves a serious director. Bao Nguyen is the director behind our documentary short about the fight for the open web. Get his perspective on making the film in this exclusive interview. 👇

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.

Let's roll back the tape on our NYC documentary screening, presented by @variety.com. A packed house, an incredible conversation, and a night celebrating the open web. Huge thanks to our panelists Bao Nguyen, @xpangler.bsky.social, @anildash.com, @p3ob7o.blog, and Erin Binnion.📽️
