Spanish Version of the Free Software Foundation's Book "Introduction to the Command Line"

"An activist needs your support," Jordán wrote this past Friday (took some days to moderate/whitelist, as usual for libreplanet-discuss). To quote his message in full:

I have been writing and translating the Free Software Foundation book
Introduction to the Command Line into Spanish. I've done it alone and
I'm about to finish it after a long working of more than a year,
translating every part, even updating images. Thanks to GNU Groff, GNU
Nano and Trisquel GNU/Linux. This work could have been much faster if I
hadn't been working on other things to finance it.

It still needs to be printed and ready for mass distribution, but I doubt I could continue this effort without financial support. I've been working as a free software activist since about 2021, I translate the Free Software Supporter into Spanish along with other colleagues, I collaborate in the translation of GNU Guix and GNU Boot, and I want to take advantage of this project (the book) to let you know that you can donate to me through free software. You can contact me directly for this or directly with the data at https://libertysoftware.cl/about.html
Thank you for considering directly supporting an activist who would like to devote 100% of his productive time to the free software movement, in both at the keyboard and in the streets.

The "GNU Press Shop [is] temporarily closed" (since January), but an introduction to Introduction to the Command Line is available at the FSF's site. █
