Ecuadorian president Rafael Correa [1]has been known for promoting Open Source Software [2]. To prove this, he has created a blog where he explains economic matters didactically, so that people can understand the economic analysis, charts and concepts. He has been posting since May 29, 2010 in the multimedia blog Economía en Bicicleta [es] [3] (Economics on a Bike). Correa explains the reason behind his blog's [es] [4] name: As a bike runs, “anyone can quickly have the necessary tools to not be fooled by the usual fakers,” referring to the media in Ecuador.
