Dearest Dr. Bracho…We are so grateful that you took the time to respond to our open letter. But really disappointed with your arguments, nevertheless we wrote you a poem to show our gratitude:

“Oh Dear Felipe, how much we despite you let me count the ways !”

No, really…It seems you payed nulled attention nor read the open letter.(I could even risk myself to declare that you are so full of it).Please just desist of any effort to defend yourself, you are only making it worse and making us sick.Your response seems quite uninformed and reflects the lack of knowledge for any contemporary trend in technology, education, information, knowledge societies or general contemporary culture.

But don’t worry, despite the HUGE efforts you have made to make the civil society hate you and the almost infinite news on corruption and illegalities on behalf of your organization, friends and processes. I mean… did you really thought that you could privatize public resources to develop your “fantastic” (insert sarcastic tone here) idea ?

Who on earth thought that such a public program could be privatized like that? oh wait, you are doing it already.Stealing our money and fucking up our poor education system.One thing is to have, conceive an idea, and another one is to take ownership of the intellectual property which derives from it.Do you imagine of all researchers and scientist would take full ownership of their ideas after companies financed the full R&D ? c’est ridicule !!! and even more when such funds come from CONACYT and not a private company.And how about all the content that government payed to be developed, are those also part of your property ? please….

But worry not my friend!!. We at the “Felipe Bracho’s Fan Club” have a great idea to save your ass reputation and letting you still profit from your hard work (cough cough). Nobody is against capitalism and entrepreneur ship. You just gotta play nice !! for real !!

No, really, bear with me for a while and seriously consider this:

Why don’t we adopt an open model? You see, there is nothing bad in creating a business model based on public commons.Fuck, just take a look at linux and all open-source projects. they are quite profitable. Why don’t WE open up Enciclomedia to an open innovation model in which the common base of intellectual property, software and course materials can be used, and increased by anyone who wishes to use it ? Every other industry is doing it for some time now. why shouldn’t we ?

I strongly recommend you read Wikinomis, and Open Innovation i can gladly provide you with copies. (as long as you promise you will read them).So here is the deal:

1. We release the course material in which millions tax money has been spent (software is useless cuz its on a microsoft platform)
2. We commit to review and enhance the contents and release them under a creative common license

And then you can sell it to which any government you like. It pays for real, you will end up with a better product than that you are currently trying to (and very questionably) sell, really.And then and ONLY then, Enciclomedia could get near to provide any benefit for our broken education system.

We all win…

Now please DO response in ordet to take further action to save Enciclomedia (not to justify nor defend yourself) and I’m sure we can all make things the right way, for a better future…
Longing to hear from you once again.
Your dearest friends:
