A short summary and big thank you message about the French version of Ada & #Zangemann , the support by @framaka (founder of @Framasoft ) with his work with @lelibreedu , the publisher @cfeditions , amazing fan art by @davidrevoy , and about many other contributors.
Was doing a reading of Ada & #Zangemann at the Kurt-Schumacher-Grundschule in Berlin this morning. Great conversations with the children afterwards, many of them happy about the Arabic version and looking forward to a Turkish version.
(Thanks to the @fsfe donors we can also gift copies of the books to schools who otherwise would not have a budget for it. Thanks to all donors who make that possible and if you also want to support this, become a donor, too: https://fsfe.org/donate )
A big thank you to Luca Bonissi who did not just translate Ada & #Zangemann into Italian but also served ice cream to over 90 children today after an Italian reading of the book.
The ice cream was delicious... Get to the @fsfe booth later and you get one with a book, and get an ice cream and a book if you are an FSFE supporter.
"Ada & #Zangemann - Un conte sur les logiciels, le skateboard et la glace à la framboise" can be pre-ordered and will be available from 1 December from @cfeditions
A big thank you to all who made the French version possible, especially @framaka 👏
Recently I received an e-mail with pictures which touched me, and which showed me how important it is to think about diversity when creating illustrations.
The photos were taken in a school at a hospital run by an international medical organisation that operates in the Middle East and showed children reading the #Arabic translation of Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream.
From today on the English version of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" should be available from your preferred book store world-wide with the ISBN 978-1-718-50320-5 or directly from the publisher #nostarchpress
Your help sharing your thoughts about the book with others in different channels would be highly appreciated.
