What is Backstage?
• “There's two views on the BBC. One is the traditional view of centralised websites. The other is more open, de-centralised and a mess. That is backstage and in there, somewhere, is the future of the BBC”
• A developer/designer network from the BBC• An opportunity for the BBC to offer some of the content
and services• A way to share with 3rd party, non-commercial
developers• Our way of stimulating creativity and innovation in the
market

The Three Prongs
• Making sure the BBC is at the heart of development in the UK
– Big Boy Partners (Google)– Independent Production companies (Headshift)– Backstage (indie developers & designers)
![Page 9: What Is Backstage Overview Google Day](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051411/54567322af795994188b4e0a/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Costs?
• Not providing any new or bespoke content for Backstage• Providing this content in a different format which allows
developers to integrate it into their own projects• Cost incurred to the BBC to re-serve this existing content
is negligible

Isn’t the BBC Poaching talent?
• Prototypes are public• Prototypes and ideas are created for the benefit of the
individual• Prototypes are developed off BBC servers• Rights stays with creator unless we commission it• BBC does not have first priority over ideas or prototypes• BBC does not exclusive rights to any backstage ideas or
prototypes

Moving beyond the prototype
• We can and have commissioned prototypes and ideas into a BBC product
• We can consider commercial licensing of subsets of our content, if the developer wants to go it alone
• The community is full of people who have gone it alone and can help with personal advice
• The community prototypes have inspired someone else to build something better

Achievements from backstage?
• Reaffirm our public service status by making available content and service in a public service way – via freely accessible RSS feeds and webs services
• Promote innovation and creativity• Enable our users to create niche-yet-powerful
applications and propositions that the BBC couldn’t justify spending license payer money on to produce itself
