Many people have asked me how dfuse.in happens, here’s our secret…the aliens help us do it!!!!
Other than that we also use the following software for production:

1. Microsoft Office Word/Open Office.org Writer: This is probably man’s greatest invention ever..well maybe that was the TV, nevertheless  this one invention has helped dfuse.in contributors (barring Sid, Falah and Arka) to type and ease the work of people like Anandi and to a large extent me.

2. Adobe Photoshop/Adobe Fireworks/GIMP: These three great pieces of software code aid me in the all the graphics work that later ends up on dfuse.in, well I am honestly really thankful to whoever wrote these…

3. Adobe inDesign/Scribus: This is where dfuse.in is moulded, where it is made into what it becomes. This helps in placement and final design of the magazine.

So basically, once an article reaches dfuse.in, Anandi reads it and then decides whether we can have it..then sends it to me…I mostly say yes to everything. I look for mistakes. I send it back to her…she checks again…and sends it to me..we play volley on the mail for a while..then I make a template for the page on one of the software I mentioned in 2. And then i arrange all of it in one of the software in 3. Once the basic structure of the magazine is done, I send it to a few people who proof read it and point out the mistakes.

Before all of this happens, Sid, San and I decide what the theme or content is going to be in consultation with Anandi. After which we get in touch with the contributors telling them what we would probably wanna see..if no one takes up on a certain article..Sid and I usually do it…

The we make a PDF from inDesign and upload it to the net and to our publishers issuu.com..

Then we run around facebook yelling about it.
