1. Web3 (DAO) from the perspective of the history of Open Source Software 猫井夕菜 (Emilly Yuna) @nekoi7yu Web3 Conference Tokyo (2021/01/28)
2. Archive video https://youtu.be/NkOlwupcnGY • You can watch with English caption.
3. Who am I? 猫井夕菜（Nekoi Emily Yuna） • Modelator role of DeFiGeek Community (DFGC, Japanese DAO) ◦ https://defigeek.xyz/en/about/ ◦ It’s Japanese DAO for Ethereum’s dapp and something. • I am a Vtuber and consplaying today. ◦ Thank you for opportunity by Suji-san.󰝲 • I work for embedded linux with OSS. • My research was about P2P in my student day. • I organize some technical community.
4. This talk policy • I try to explain DAO from the history of OSS. ◦ This is totally my opinion and ideas what no exist defined common sense clearly. • I try to explain with considering audience who does not know/hear OSS. • Off course, I take care accuracy. But, It’s sometimes prioritize clarity.
5. Ask question to audience Please raise your hands󰢨 • Are you developers? -> 0% (Actually shy guys in audience.) • Do you know OSS (Open Source Software)? -> about 85% • Do you know OSS license? -> about 5 people • Do you know the OSS historical lightly? -> maybe no one.
6. What is OSS (Open Source Software) ? • OSS is software with license by the open source definition • No special opensource what individual person defined ◦ It’s totally and clearly define. The Open Source Definition https://opensource.org/osd Some defined lines • Free redistribution / Open source code • No discrimination against persons, groups, fields and endeavor • Distribution of license
7. OSS (Open Source Software) とは • オープンソースの定義に従ったライセンスを掲げているソフトのこと ◦ 私の考えたオープンソース　というのはなく明確な定義がある ◦ The Open Source Definition https://opensource.org/osd 定義 (抜粋) • 自由な再頒布 / ソースコードの公開 • 特定人物・集団に対する差別の禁止 / 使用分野に対する差別の禁止 • 派生物 / ライセンスの分配 • What is do you mean? • Why was born the software license? It’s easy to understand what you see history side.
8. Rough history • 1950’s - pastoral style ◦ Computers were used limited what used science researcher and academic. ◦ Code was under pubic domain. No idea “hidden”. • 1970’s - Commersial 　Closed source ◦ Software made money -> license business. ◦ Free copy is bad for business. Comanis made differentiate from other. so, they closed source code. • 1980’s early - Launch open source • 1990’s end - The commercial software was moved to OSS. Born linux kernel. Started 1st ISP on Japan. ◦ It is a Mozilla Suite as Firefox. • 2000’s ~ - Open source is very mature. refer to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open-source_software
9. Bazaar style of OSS projects • 👉 Not equal between OSS license and open style developping ◦ One of the most common misconceptions today. • The Cathedral and the Bazaar 1997 ◦ It’s great to develop with collaboration. source code is not only open. ◦ The essay was written while looking at the situation at that time. (Linux kernel) ◦ Mozilla Suite as Firefox changed open source licnse from closed software. ◦ I understand that internet infrastructure major was become in background.
10. DAO？ • What is difference between bazaar style oss projects and DAO?- • -> Implement capital elements like money and corporation on Web without country and law. • Activity and behavior are similar traditional bazaar style oss. ◦ Develop program, distributed, let use, maintain mirror server. ◦ PR, translate, and user help other users (user groups) ◦ DAO is not super specially what I want to say.
11. Great combination OSS license and Dapp • Smart contacts are premised on public showing source code. • It’s easy to join project, if dapp define software license like oss. • The big difference is before launch phase. ◦ Important idea and novelty for dapp. ◦ Balance of Risk of steal vs get contributors.
12. Difficulty of bringing money to OSS -> Challenging • If there is 1 developer, It’s so simple. But, projects has some members? • Difficulty in monetarily assessing contribute. ◦ We know difficult that performance review on company. ◦ Even though I'm contributing ... ◦ Totally different role: developers, UX designers, document writers and translators. • Keypoint: Community govenance ◦ Grete governance is copied like oss license and develop style. ◦ e.g. Use NFT for Contribution record like achievement cancellation of gaming.
13. Summary • The Web3 innovation is the ability to implement a capitalist system natively on Web. • DAO is the actual state of corporations and organizations built on Web3. Land State and law Corporate Web network crypto based token DAO ※This is totally my opinion.
14. Question • Q. Why do we make organization like DAO and bazaar style oss? • A. Project oriented with purpose. ◦ Someone take actions cause wants to achieve. Other people wants help and support sometimes. It is very natural on society. ◦ The start point is implementation artifacts (source code) in OSS and crypto project.
15. Question • Q. You said DAO is not depends state and law. It is wrong. • A. Actually Yes. Land State and law Web network crypto based token DAO
