Made a simple #LibreOffice template that should make it easier to create A5 #zines from an A4 paper. Double printed it gives 4 pages incl coverpage. I might make an A6 version as well.
I'm using LibreOffice instead of proper desktop publishing software, so that the barrier for creating zines is as low as possible.
Given everything that's happening in tech, I'm guessing zines might become a popular means to distribute information. Just like it did in the #DIY / punkscene from years ago.
