This evening @fsfe 's great @nicorikken will talk in the Angry Nerds Podcast ( @angrynerdspodcast ) about the launch of the Dutch "Ada & #Zangemann" book, plus the #Braille version. He did an amazing work during the last months to automate the production process for many different outputs of the story. If you speak Dutch, strong recommendation to watch!

A child who already read "Ada & #Zangemann" 7 times attended my reading today to hear me reading it and told me how great the book is. My reaction oscillated between ☺️, 🤗, and 🥰.

Completed the first of two Ada & #Zangemann readings today for school classes at #Nano in Potsdam, which is a great place to do experiments https://nano-potsdam.de/

Huge honour for me to receive such a feedback for "Ada & #Zangemann" by @brewsterkahle who founded archive.org and who is admired by #librarians around the world for his work! ☺️

On Thursday 16:00 I will do a German reading of "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" at NANO, Am Kanal 57, 14467 #Potsdam.

It requires you to buy a ticket, but if you are active for #FreeSoftware or the #Fediverse you can reach out to me, and I can put you on the guest list.

One year after the German premiere of Ada & #Zangemann the movie: https://k7r.eu/one-year-after-the-german-premiere-of-ada-and-zangemann-the-movie/ 🥰

Thanks to all, including here in the #fediverse @linuxhotel @openproject @nikslor @collabora @intevation @derPUPE @LINAGORA @nextcloud @libreoffice @xwiki @wikimediaDE @heinleinsupport ...

Until 2 December you can get my English book "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software, Skateboards, and Raspberry Ice Cream" with a **42% discount** directly from my US publisher @nostarch https://nostarch.com/ada-zangemann (if @nostarch@infosec.exchange had something to do with the number for the discount? I don't know 😉 )

Great to see that #CodeForNiederrhein managed to get in the public radio WDR5 with their "Ada & #Zangemann" readings https://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/audio/wdr5/wdr5-tagesgespraech/audio-vorlesen-welche-rolle-spielt-das-fuer-sie-100.html (from 40:28 in German). Big thanks to @derPUPE and the others there!! 😍 (Background here: https://chaos.social/@derPUPE/115561422784541625 )

Thank to to everyone who is today participating in the German National Reading Day and to everyone reading books to children on other days of the year. 👏

Especially those who read "Ada & #Zangemann - A Tale of Software , Skateboards 🛹 , and Raspberry Ice Cream 🍦 " to children and thereby spark their interest in coding! (Background: https://k7r.eu/reached-30k-children-experience-the-joy-of-helping-others-yourself/ ) 👏

Wow! Wow! Wow! So @derPUPE organised readings for Ada & #Zangemann and the @C4NRN crew managed to do a Turkish and Russian translation as well. This is so amazing! 🥰

Un #LinuxDay è niente se — una volta terminato — non trovi almeno una cartolina decorata da un bimbo, mentre si sorbiva i nostri talk.
Meno male che i gadget della @fsfe sono bellissimi!
