# About

Hi, I am a dog-publisher---what a surprise, right? I am from
|
|
Mexico and, as you can see, English is not my first language.
|
|
But whatever. My educational background is on Philosophy, specifically
|
|
Philosophy of Culture. My grade studies focus on intellectual
|
|
property---mainly copyright---, free culture, free software and,
|
|
of course, free publishing. If you still want a name, call me
|
|
Dog.
|
|
|
|
This blog is about publishing and coding. But it _doesn't_ approach
|
|
on techniques that makes great code. Actually my programming
|
|
skills are kind of narrow. I have the following opinions. (a)
|
|
If you use a computer to publish, not matter their output, _publishing
|
|
is coding_. (b) Publishing it is not just about developing software
|
|
or skills, it is also a tradition, a profession, an art but also
|
|
a _method_. (c) To be able to visualize that, we have to talk
|
|
about how publishing implies and affects how we do culture. (d)
|
|
If we don't criticize and _self-criticize_ our work, we are lost.
|
|
|
|
In other terms, this blog is about what surrounds and what is
|
|
supposed to be the foundations of publishing. Yeah, of course
|
|
you are gonna find technical writing. However, it is just because
|
|
on these days the spine of publishing talks with zeros and ones.
|
|
So, let start to think what is publishing nowadays!
|
|
|
|
Some last words. I have to admit I don't feel comfortable writing
|
|
in English. I find unfair that we, people from non-English spoken
|
|
worlds, have to use this language in order to be noticed. It
|
|
makes me feel bad that we are constantly translating what other
|
|
persons are saying while just a few homies translate from Spanish
|
|
to English. So I decided to have at least a bilingual blog. I
|
|
write in English while I translate to Spanish, so I can improve
|
|
this skill ---also: thanks +++S.O.+++ for help me to improve
|
|
the English version xoxo.
|
|
|
|
That's not enough and it doesn't invite to collaboration. So
|
|
this blog uses `po` files for its contents. You can always collaborate
|
|
in the translation or edition of any language. Just visit Contact's
|
|
page. Or better, create a blog with this code. Just visit Fork's
|
|
page.
|
|
|
|
That's all folks! And don't forget: fuck adds. Fuck spam. And
|
|
fuck proprietary culture. Freedom to the moon!
