# Septeto Camaján's podcast and software decolonisation

## March 31, 2021

Sometimes a group of friend and I record a podcast. It's a podcast to talk about the music we enjoy and we recorded many episodes, but just few of them are published. We created a website and we called it [Dele plei Camaján](http://hiperterminal.com/septetocamajan/) (Play it Camajan) and without understand completely what was going on, I was part of a software decolonisation process.

## Dele plei Camaján: the podcast 

We had been recorded a podcast called [The dog, the pig and the sheep](http://hiperterminal.com/septetocamajan/es/podcast/el-perro-el-cerdo-y-la-oveja) in 2012. During the pandemic we talked about record again our talks to publish them, but only after early 2021 we did it.

This is a podcast of around one hour, where we put a topic on the table without any previous script. It's a recording of an spontaneous talk. We record more or less every 15 days and i think it's great if anybody else wants to join us, specially because many of us are working on gender and we have a gender bias in the podcast that we want to avoid.

## The website and software decolonisation

I made the website on Grav, because I want [to try alternatives to Wordpress, as mentioned in this other post](https://hiperterminal.com/david/personal/en/blog/2020-05-01-mi-primer-post-en-grav). I am using [Font Awesome](https://fontawesome.com/) and something strange happened with the [Grav plugin for podcasts](https://github.com/jgonyea/grav-plugin-podcast): when the website is using another language than English, the podcast had bugs.

I had [a conversation with the developer on Github](https://github.com/jgonyea/grav-plugin-podcast/issues/35) and as result this plugin moved to the version 2.1.9, fixing the bug. I didn't write a single line for this plugin, but being an user speaking a different language than English and writing to the developers to make it fit to any other language makes me think it's a valid way to decolonise the software.

I wasn't aware about *decolonise the software* without reading [Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ng%C5%A9g%C4%A9_wa_Thiong'o)'s [Decolonising the mind](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decolonising_the_Mind), book that I mentioned in [this post about the poster about Wikipedia and gender](https://hiperterminal.com/david/personal/en/blog/2021-02-02-wikipedia-y-brecha-de-genero).
