Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.33,0:04:39.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because in the mean time,

Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.02,0:04:52.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I got this ugly brown envelope

Dialogue: 0,0:05:08.96,0:05:11.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then after a while I realized,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:13.77,0:05:15.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is six months of my life,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.85,0:05:24.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I was a little bit skeptical, what should I do with it?
Dialogue: 0,0:05:24.10,0:05:27.28,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because you can see where I am,

Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.49,0:05:34.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,what I am doing.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:34.19,0:05:38.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But then I said, I want to go out with this information.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.78,0:05:40.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I want to make them public.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.56,0:05:44.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because I want to show the people what does data retention mean.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:44.98,0:05:50.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So together with Zeit Online and Open Data City, I did this.
