Ask John Deere to Publicly Release Source Code for Light L16 Camera and Lumen Software

The Issue

As an owner and aficionado of the Light L16 camera, I, along with countless others, firmly believe that there is untapped potential in this piece of innovative technology. We've noticed how the extensive applications our community brings to computational photography could be insightful not just for us, but for John Deere as well. However, one barrier stands in the way of letting the L16 camera and the Lumen software reach their true potential: the source codes are currently unattainable to the public.

Taking the cue from successful tech companies like Android and Firefox, which thrive on open-source philosophy, we believe releasing the source code for the Light L16 camera and Lumen software would not only help in developing more robust applications but also foster community trust into computational photography. 

By releasing the source code and firmware, John Deere can harness the collective intelligence of users around the world, paving the way for technological advancements that could even benefit the company itself. It would give users the power to customise the functionality of their equipment, improving user experience, and truly unlocking the power of computational photography.

We, the users, lovers of innovation, and believers in open source, implore John Deere to release the source code of the Light L16 camera firmware and the Lumen software to the public. Let's revolutionize photography together - from our hands, for our future. Sign this petition and let your voice be heard.
