Important because it is an example of 'Public Money, Public Code' culture ;)

The French publisher CF Editions created an online version of 'Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of #Software , Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream'. Works great on my mobile as well:

“Explaining what we do is challenging at times, but this book does so gracefully. I’m sure this cute little story will help both kids and many parents about technological empowerment.”

I truly enjoyed reading 'Ada & Zangemann'. And its playful illustrations. Along the way it playfully relays the idea behind #OpenSource (and #FreeSoftware ).

Definitely recommended - for yourself, for your nieces and nephews, anyone young at heart.

Was great to participate in the Fight to Repair #podcast . Thanks to Paul and the team for their work! 👏

I really enjoyed this short book which explains why laws against tinkering are not good for (almost all of) humanity!
It probably will get outlawed in Florida.

Cool book, definitely a more colourful and lighter read than we're used to, ideal to explain what we do! Matthias Kirschner nostarch.com/ada-zangemann
