New year’s eve in Chiapas (photos)

esta usted en territorio zapatista en rebeldia aqui manda el pueblo y el gobierno obedece Since I was out of the blogosphere during the past 20 days, I have many things to blog about.

The first is that I’ve been in Chiapas (Mexico) for new year holidays. New year’s eve in a Zapatista village (La Garrucha). I’ll blog about what this revolution means for me and the world later. For now I just publish the link to photos.

The sign in the photos reads: “esta usted en territorio zapatista en rebeldia aqui manda el pueblo y el gobierno obedece” meaning “You are in Zapatista lands in rebellion, here the people rule and the government obeys”

    Uhè!! Finalmente riappari! ormai non provavo più nemmeno a passare. Bentornato e complimenti per le belle foto e per l’album, anche se però devo dedicare un po’ di tempo in più per rivederle tutte con calma. Ciao

    Hi, absolutely! You can use the photo!

    Actually I release the content on my weblog under a creative commons licence

    The licence is:

    (According to the licence you should distribute your publication according to the same licence [it is called a “viral” licence])

    I strongly suggest you to release your publications under a creatiuve commons licence!

    and http://www.clarin.com/diario/2003/10/24/t-646226.htm

    There isn’t (yet!) a creative commons project in argentina but there is one in brazil! You might think about opening one in argentina!

    Many books are released under this licence nowadays (even bestsellers on amazon!). This licence allows a book/publications/song to be known and spread, easily.

    However,
    I licence the following photos with another licence for “Dirección Nacional de Formación Docente y Gestión Curricular. Ministerio de Educación, Ciencia y Tecnología de la República Argentina.”
