Zines by techies have a long history! Tom Jennings [1], who founded FidoNet [2] and The Little Garden ISP, published one of the first Queercore anarcho-punk zines called Homocore [3]. He's written a retrospective and published an archive of his Homocore memory [4] of San Francisco during 1988-1991.<p>[1] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Jennings" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Jennings</a><p>[2] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FidoNet</a><p>[3] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocore_(zine)" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homocore_(zine)</a><p>[4] <a href="http://worldpowersystems.com/HOMOCORE/" rel="nofollow">http://worldpowersystems.com/HOMOCORE/</a>
I imagine a lot of technical people are or could be into zines: they mix DIY and maker zeal with principles of distributed information sharing. They're the OG artisanal local blogs ;-p<p>You can make little zine booklets -- which I find especially satisfying -- from a single sheet of computer paper using the following instructions: <a href="http://staycalmcomic.com/how-to-zine" rel="nofollow">http://staycalmcomic.com/how-to-zine</a>
<i>" Girls to the Front: The True Story of the Riot Grrrl Revolution Paperback about riot grrl and people making feminist zines and starting punk bands,"</i><p>Kathleen Hanna had a big hand in this movement [0] and if you want to see/listen then watch <i>"The Punk Singer"</i> ~ <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMbLzaVkn2s" rel="nofollow">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMbLzaVkn2s</a><p>[0] <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Hanna" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kathleen_Hanna</a>
I was once at a tech-presentation where the presenter drew/wrote everything freehand like this on a tablet, almost similar to how one would use a blackboard. I really liked the way she presented compared to a static slide-deck, as she could adjust/add examples based on questions and feedback from the crowd.
From time to time I want to make a zine, but the distribution it is a problem. Startup idea time: I upload my PDF, the lists of address, and you print them and distributed them.
Reminds me of my wonder pouring through Factsheet Five, a zine catalog (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factsheet_Five" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Factsheet_Five</a> and <a href="http://zinewiki.com/Factsheet_Five" rel="nofollow">http://zinewiki.com/Factsheet_Five</a>)
