hello everyone welcome to them come five
and welcome to Japan
only tremulous are your possible gone by
where
[Applause]
and to be honest when we were deciding
on the location of Def Con this year I
wasn't really sure about bringing this
to Japan I know many of the community
members worried like whoa that's to be
in Japan but so fishery I thought that
that it you know you mean
extra pressure because I am from here
but now that we are all here I am
excited our community members are here
if you have meaning meaningful
conversations and showcase but you have
built this year and also discuss the
future of ECM so today the topic of my
talk is about growing the way we sport
related to what we have been
communicating so for those who have
heard my talks or we know that we often
talked about this subtraction mindset
it's the idea that normally the typical
organizations they tend to take take and
also extend but um tries to share its
inference and also resources so that
everyone can go and I introduced this
beauty in subtraction last year calm but
there is more to this subtraction just
it's it's beyond just positive feelings
or just a philosophy it is a discipline
subtraction does not mean EF is doing
less nor working less than before
subtraction is about disciplined action
that is why it is different from
minimalism we are subtracting our power
in the mindful way
long-term benefit of lithium like
artisan or artwork the work requires has
to be precise and once we overdo it even
if the decision is not bad it's hard to
fix it later this work requires Queen
keen intuition and thoughtfulness but we
still want to take some risk and also
encourage innovations so with all these
we actually have to work more to
subtract our power he's a key inside of
idiom that guides how he approached the
word that stands out in my mind is
support we have to give flexible support
to support this very unique ecosystem
and going the ways we support is our
main focuses this year and many of you
know that EF sports through grants this
is a list of grantees this year 2019 and
congratulations to all of the grantees
that are on the list
[Applause]
well we don't just support
bipods by looking at project with
sometimes we give support for the entire
domain such as how do we support
multiple teams that are working on the
interim to Porton clients or say
channels and so on and in the middle I
listed security because that's also
deserved to be one of the domains and of
course without core infrastructure
Ethernet we cannot work and there are
teams that are working so hard to
maintain and also improve it and going
further as part of being festival we
sometimes support like incubating some
project - for them to be kicked off and
and also support many communities and
help ETM be chain and I like to maintain
one as an example it's here dog is run
by multiple community members working
very very hard every day and I hope you
are enjoying weekly updates that are
happening now and also they just
implemented 10 extra translation or 10
languages that translated by all the
community members globally that
volunteer to do this and that is really
I think very beautiful about this area
member system so really congratulation
to the team of
so as you can see there are many types
of support to increase our flexibility
our Grants Program has gone into an
ecosystem support program now we
continue to provide financial support
for those who deserve it but we try to
think about like other ways to support
by thinking what are the things that
only the a thin foundation can do so
this is the website of the ecosystem
support program please check it up and
so far I just showed what we have been
doing but it also matters why we have
been doing this way and if you want to
listen to the vetos alga is going to
give a talk 5 p.m. tomorrow so please
come and join us tomorrow and I just
talk about what EF is doing and as we
will continue to make these efforts with
other community members we see big e TM
news coming in every day but the gloss
is happening here are some chart that
you can easily show that goes with
numbers and every day we hear like
different news happening especially
lately sometimes from big enterprise
side but it's been exciting despite the
price of the crypto and release all
these girls I still think it comes down
to why we are doing the we were working
on the team and it is important for us
to keep talking about this and there is
my personal story that led to my own
vision of a team outside of my career
this is this is my dad and me as a baby
I was born and raised in Japan
and my dad was a little stubborn
difficult he was successful in his
career but unlike many other Japanese he
never trusted those who has a title as
experts so he told me just because
someone has a title as a doctor that
doesn't mean what they're saying is
right so I learn from him that you know
to to question everything and to do your
own research before making any decision
and also also things were not equal for
women here but still not unfortunately
and I did not think many things were not
fair but were fair to everyone so I
became more sensitive to unfairness in
justice and in balance my core values
will remain the same
today stunning here and I would like to
see the world that where we have less
unfairness in balance and justice and I
believe boxing can't help that and
that's the vision we do not want to
forget and one of the important purposes
of this step cone is to share our vision
your own vision and also inspiration and
and discuss why we're working on it same
with that this year we welcome 52
scholars from 25 countries the list is
here
[Applause]
and also supported by consensus
consensus and UNICEF innovation so thank
you so much and there was an application
process and criteria was whether they
represent the gender ethnicity or region
that are normally under represented in
tech and also the needs of financial
support for their learning and of course
their passion in learning I am the
passion of these members is very
inspiring
I heard story about a scholar from Egypt
she wanted to learn about 8:00 a.m. but
it's it was very hard for her to know
where to start as a Muslim woman and so
coming here is really a big deal for her
as their learning process and also there
was another person who is obliphica from
sillier living in berlin he wants to
learned about ATM to find a way to
empower other refugees and also for them
to come all the way to Japan wasn't
really easy like like you know compared
to many of you or even but of course me
being being Japanese some some scholars
from Afghanistan they couldn't get a
visa at their local place and they had
to apply all the way to Dubai and wait
there for days for the visa to come and
and we had to keep supporting them by by
wiring here wearing my name is Western
Union which is kind of a shoulder for
the problem of the we have in this
society but but it is really it was
really hard for them to come here but
their passion shows that are they this
is real life-changing opportunity for
them so I really encourage you to find
them to talk to them they are supposed
to have orange wristband and the reason
why we we do this is not just
to help them and I think the more
importantly I want them to inspire us
and eventually we can learn from them
the real interesting use cases of the
team are happening in the areas were
solving problems in problem would change
their life immediately so we are not
only doing this to help them I believe
actually they will help us to find ways
to use it and more and last but not
least speaking of our vision today we
have a big great big news to tell you
from the community actually but so just
today UNICEF announced crypto
denominated fund to support open source
technology benefiting children and the
future of the children and EF is
supporting this initiative as a first
partner
[Applause]
I think that this this is something new
that we are doing of course we have many
other priorities we do not forget that
but this this is really important for us
to show our share our vision and and the
UNICEF innovation team has been working
so hard I was receiving update every
single day last couple months especially
and I was just exhausted by hearing that
but you you can imagine how hard it is
to when I heard about this idea you know
imagine doing this that one big
organization at the United Nations which
is now very very conservative so they
they did lessen teaching how to first
starting with what it's crypto and then
how to use for it and to to really
advocate and what's great is they really
they really believe in the power of
crypto cooktop not just blockchain not
just as a currency so this is viruses
crypto denominated fund which is I think
very very revolutional so how it works
is for example we provide it and they
they provide either as either to support
these startups they are supporting those
startups ordered the start of that
working on their own problems in their
own regions using blockchain thus crypto
is the one that is doing like a digital
prescription using box chain solution
and in their other other projects when
money's you top picture is working on
towel sort of towel solution and the
last one is working on the funding
solution using box chain and oh sorry so
what what is exciting about this party
is it's a small start you know the
donation we actually yes
we successfully sent a my it's supposed
to be able to say this there are many
things I'm not supposed to say because
they're big organization but we were
supposed to be able to successfully sand
under Eve to UNICEF funds warhead and
then they distributed to the headquarter
and then the recorder distributed this
all this project already that happened
last night it is work and then clearly
congratulations to the team Chris Berman
Christina and the other units of
innovation team which in working on this
territory and then thank you for letting
us be part of this and I think this was
a perfect they just kick off
they've come lastly we are not just in
Japan we are in Osaka who are here for
the first time so I don't know how many
of you have recognized Osaka is a very
unique city in Japan and actually it is
a city known for comedians this city
produced most number of comedians so if
you talk to random stranger on the
street they are supposed to say
something funny so try that for anyway
there are many many interesting that you
can try here many interesting food
okonomiyaki takoyaki which I'll add and
and also I'd like to thank send big
thank you to the city of Osaka that
provides us this opportunity but also
that just gave us this beautiful drum
performance this morning
and thank you very much sir Cassini
[Applause]

enjoy Epcon and hope to talk to you
