meson press publishes research on digital cultures and networked media. Our open access publications challenge contemporary theories and advance key debates in the humanities of today.

We combine a rigorous peer-review with hybrid formats and collaborative production methods. As a cooperative, meson press is organized in a participated setup. This allows scholars to take part in a publishing venture by academics for academics and for everyone else who is curious about theory.

In the hybrid environment of today’s scholarly publishing, form follows function in a new manner. meson press books take pride in the haptic elegance of print and are designed to transfer this to a digital set-up. To ensure this, our print and digital editions have been developed in collaboration with the Berlin based book and web designers Torsten Köchlin and Silke Krieg.

meson press books are printed on-demand and distributed worldwide to be available far beyond Europe including the UK, US, and South America. Our digital editions are available for free download on the internet. To ensure the authors’ rights as well as the openness of published monographs, meson press is committed to publish under a Creative Commons CC-BY-SA license if possible.

meson press is a cooperative initiated by Mercedes Bunz, Marcus Burkhardt and Andreas Kirchner, and grew out of the Hybrid Publishing Lab, Leuphana University of Lüneburg that looked into the effects of digitalization on academic communication and publishing.

SQL::Translator is a group of Perl modules that manipulate structured data definitions (mostly database schemas) in interesting ways, such as converting among different dialects of CREATE syntax (e.g., MySQL-to-Oracle), visualizations of schemas (pseudo-ER diagrams: GraphViz or GD), automatic code generation (using Class::DBI), converting non-RDBMS files to SQL schemas (xSV text files, Excel spreadsheets), serializing parsed schemas (via Storable, YAML and XML), creating documentation (HTML and POD), and more. New to version 0.03 is the ability to talk directly to a database through DBI to query for the structures of several databases.

Through the separation of the code into parsers and producers with an object model in between, it's possible to combine any parser with any producer, to plug in custom parsers or producers, or to manipulate the parsed data via the built-in object model. Presently only the definition parts of SQL are handled (CREATE, ALTER), not the manipulation of data (INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE).

Dunno why I bookmark this shit, maybe because someday I could need it.

LogRocket is a production Redux logging tool that lets you replay problems as if they happened in your own browser. Instead of guessing why errors happen, or asking users for screenshots and log dumps, LogRocket lets you replay Redux actions + state, network requests, console logs, and see a video of what the user saw.

This is album is dedicated to the sacred ego, that wellspring of individuality and unique complexity. Sing the song of the Inner Voice. Recite the hymns to the Celestial Will. Rebuke all desire to succumb to corrosive idolatry—be it the militancy of extremity, the beneficence of untempered ideology, or the divinity of cherished relationships. Rebuke the impulse to capitulation, to hide beneath of hard shell of callous disregard and secede from the world. We surrender our power only to those worthy of wielding it. And we will not hesitate to strip authority from and war against all those that prove unworthy.

rakudo-pkg offers native packages of Rakudo Perl 6 that closely follow upstream development. Most of the time, the packages will be released on the same day as the Rakudo sources. At the moment, packages are provided for Alpine, CentOS, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu. Feel free to contribute or request new packages.

rakudo-pkg aims to provide small self-contained (no dependencies, no files outside /opt/rakudo-pkg), pre-compiled native OS packages that can be used on user’s computers, servers and –very importantly– containers. Therefor, only the Rakudo compiler and the Zef package manager are provided. Third party modules can be easily installed if desired.

From a security point of view, we like to create the builds in the open: the packages are created, checksummed and automatically uploaded from the code in this repository by Travis CI to Github Releases and Bintray Repositories.

For those users, or rather System Administrators, that prefer to build their own Rakudo packages, rakudo-pkg can be used as a build framework. Because Docker containers are used when creating native Linux packages, any platform running Docker can be used as a host, including Linux, MacOS and Windows machines.
