<p>It was a lot of work during the last months for me as an FSFE
|
|
volunteer beside my work commitments. But in the last week of my
|
|
vacation I finalised it: the book "Ada & Zangemann - A Tale of
|
|
Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" is available for
|
|
pre-order in Dutch! The story for kids and adults explains in an
|
|
understandable way the importance of control over technology. It has
|
|
been translated and published thanks to many volunteers who joined me in
|
|
this process.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Bound as a hard-cover it makes for a nice gift that will last, no
|
|
matter if you gift it to children, parents, siblings, your local library
|
|
or in the work context of your boss, your employees, or your business
|
|
partners.)</p>
|
|

|
Be the first to get the book by buying it at the FOSDEM conference in
|
|
Brussels in the weekend of 31 January. If you would like one or more
|
|

|

<p>Can't attend FOSDEM? No problem, the book is already available for
|
|
pre-order in the Netherlands and Belgium through book stores. Please

|
industry that people buy a great book even though it is available under

|
|

<p>Please contact me if you want to buy a box of books for your company
|
|
to gift the book to employees or partners, or if you have ideas for
|
|
promotion.</p>

|
|
