FLOSS and Hegemony – Random thoughts and serendipity http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog A collection of jottings on various issues that excite no one else Sat, 18 Sep 2010 03:26:11 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.6.13 21471312 A book on FLOSS and Hegemony http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/2010/09/18/a-book-on-floss-and-hegemony-2/ http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/2010/09/18/a-book-on-floss-and-hegemony-2/#comments Sat, 18 Sep 2010 03:26:11 +0000 http://sankarshan.randomink.org/blog/?p=691 Continue reading A book on FLOSS and Hegemony →]]> The actual title of the book is ‘Hegemony Resistance and Computing: A Study in Postcolonial Political Economy‘. And, as the author mentions, it took six years to write, a bit longer to haggle over the title and, finally, the short-hand of the title stuck 🙂

With the aim of initiating a conversation (link to discussion group) he has put for download a pre-release version of the book. I’ve been lucky, along with Sayamindu, to have had the chance to read drafts, drafts of drafts, notes of the chapters. Discuss over the issues put forward and sometimes help in looking up references or, cross-checking them. The book also got me to read up afresh on Hegel.

We often joke that he is going to end up with a triptych – the first book was a popular primer on GNU/Linux and was written in Bengali. Let’s see how that works out. It would be appreciated if feedback is provided to the author.
