Marcin Jakubowski: Open-sourced blueprints for civilization

Translator: Samo Blatnik Reviewer: Matej Divjak

Hi, my name is Marcin --

Pozdravljeni, moje ime je Marcin --

farmer, technologist.

sem kmetovalec, tehnolog.

I was born in Poland, now in the U.S.

Rojen sem bil na Poljskem, sedaj živim v ZDA.

I started a group called Open Source Ecology.

Ustanovil sem skupino imenovano Odprtokodna ekologija.

We've identified the 50 most important machines

Identificirali smo 50 najpomembnejših naprav,

that we think it takes for modern life to exist --

za katere menimo, da so gradniki modernega bivanja --

things from tractors,

naprave, kot so traktorji,

bread ovens, circuit makers.

pečice za kruh, tiskalniki za elektronska vezja.

Then we set out to create

Nato smo se odločili ustvariti

an open source, DIY, do it yourself version

odprtokodno "naredi si sam" verzijo,

that anyone can build and maintain

ki jo lahko naredi vsakdo in vzdržuje

at a fraction of the cost.

s pičlimi stroški.

We call this the Global Village Construction Set.

Vse to smo poimenovali "Konstrukcijski set za globalno vas".

So let me tell you a story.

Naj vam najprej povem zgodbo.

So I finished my 20s

Svoja dvajseta sem zaključil

with a Ph.D. in fusion energy,

z doktoratom na področju fuzijske energije,

and I discovered I was useless.

vendar sem ugotovil, da sem nekoristen.

I had no practical skills.

Bil sem brez praktičnih znanj.

The world presented me with options,

Svet mi je ponudil možnosti

and I took them.

in jaz sem jih sprejel.

I guess you can call it the consumer lifestyle.

Tako imenovan potrošniški stil življenja.

So I started a farm in Missouri

Pa sem pričel s farmo v Missouriju,

and learned about the economics of farming.

kjer sem se spoznal z ekonomijo kmetovanja.

I bought a tractor -- then it broke.

Kupil sem traktor, ki pa se je pokvaril.

I paid to get it repaired --

Plačal sem za popravilo --

then it broke again.

nakar se je zopet pokvaril.

Then pretty soon,

In kmalu zatem,

I was broke too.

sem bil "broke" tudi sam.

I realized

Dojel sem,

that the truly appropriate, low-cost tools that I needed

da resnično primernih, nizko proračunskih orodij, ki jih potrebujem,

to start a sustainable farm and settlement

da bi pričel s samozadostno farmo in naseljem,

just didn't exist yet.

še ni na voljo.

I needed tools that were robust, modular,

Potreboval sem orodja, ki so robustna, modularna,

highly efficient and optimized,

zelo učinkovita in optimizirana,

low-cost,

poceni, izdelana iz lokalnih

made from local and recycled materials that would last a lifetime,

in recikliranih materialov, ki bi delovala celo stoletje

not designed for obsolescence.

in niso načrtovana za ciklično potrošnjo.

I found that I would have to build them myself.

Ugotovil sem, da jih bom moral narediti sam.

So I did just that.

In točno to sem tudi storil.

And I tested them.

Nato sem jih testiral.

And I found that industrial productivity

In ugotovil, da je industrijska produktivnost

can be achieved on a small scale.

lahko izvedljiva v majhnem obsegu.

So then I published the 3D designs,

Nato sem objavil 3D dizajne,

schematics,

shematske slike,

instructional videos and budgets

video navodila in kosovnice s cenami

on a wiki.

na wiki sistemu.

Then contributors from all over the world

In pojavili so se zainteresirani iz celotnega sveta,

began showing up, prototyping new machines

ki so pomagali pri izdelavi prototipov novih strojev,

during dedicated project visits.

na namenskih projektnih delavnicah.

So far, we have prototyped eight of the 50 machines.

Do sedaj smo naredili prototipe osmih od petdesetih strojev.

And now the project

In sedaj projekt

is beginning to grow on its own.

začenja rasti sam.

We know that open source has succeeded

Zavedamo se, da so odprtokodni sistemi uspeli

with tools for managing knowledge and creativity.

s pomočjo orodij za upravljanje znanja in kreativnosti.

And the same is starting to happen with hardware too.

Isto se je začelo dogajati tudi s strojno opremo.

We're focusing on hardware

Fokusiramo se na strojno opremo,

because it is hardware that can change people's lives

kajti strojna oprema je tista, s katero lahko spremenimo človeška življenja

in such tangible material ways.

na tako otipljivi materialni osnovi.

If we can lower the barriers to farming, building, manufacturing,

Če lahko spustimo zahteve za kmetovanje, gradnjo, proizvodnjo,

then we can unleash just massive amounts of human potential.

potem lahko posledično sprostimo ogromen človeški potencial.

That's not only in the developing world.

To ne velja zgolj za države v razvoju.

Our tools are being made

Naša orodja so izdelana

for the American farmer, builder, entrepreneur, maker.

za Ameriškega kmetovalca, gradbenika, podjetnika, izdelovalca.

We've seen lots of excitement from these people,

Videli smo veliko navdušenja s strani teh ljudi,

who can now start a construction business,

ki lahko sedaj pričnejo gradbeno obrt,

parts manufacturing,

izdelavo delov,

organic CSA

organsko pridelavo hrane (Community-supported agriculture)

or just selling power back to the grid.

ali pa samo prodajajo energijo nazaj v omrežje.

Our goal is a repository of published designs

Naš cilj je arhiv objavljenih načrtov,

so clear, so complete,

tako jasnih, tako kompletnih,

that a single burned DVD

da je ena sama DVD zgoščenka

is effectively a civilization starter kit.

dejansko paket za pričetek nove civilizacije.

I've planted a hundred trees in a day.

Posadil sem sto dreves v enem dnevu.

I've pressed 5,000 bricks in one day

Izdelal sem 5.000 opek v enem dnevu,

from the dirt beneath my feet

stisnjenih iz prsti pod mojimi nogami,

and built a tractor in six days.

in zgradil traktor v šestih dneh.

From what I've seen, this is only the beginning.

In kot sem videl, je to šele začetek.

If this idea is truly sound,

Če je ideja resnično smiselna,

then the implications are significant.

potem so njene posledice lahko izjemno prodorne.

A greater distribution of the means of production,

Večja distribucija produkcijskih sredstev,

environmentally sound supply chains,

okolju prijazne verige dobave

and a newly relevant DIY maker culture

in nova - pomembna "naredi si sam" kultura,

can hope to transcend

ki prinaša upanje, da odpravimo

artificial scarcity.

umetno ustvarjeno pomanjkanje.

We're exploring the limits

Raziskujemo, kje so meje,

of what we all can do to make a better world

s katerimi lahko mi vsi prispevamo za boljši svet

with open hardware technology.

z odprtokodnimi strojnimi tehnologijami.

Thank you.

Hvala. (Nič ni močnejšega od ideje, katere čas je napočil.)
