The Book Sprint will bring 6-9 writers together to write several manuals on OLPC and Sugar.</p> <p><a href='http://www.flossmanuals.net'>FLOSS Manuals</a> is the official documentation repository for both these projects and we are aiming to build a team in Texas that will complete a series of manuals in an intensive working week and then work together remotely thereafter.</p> <p>The sprint is organised by Anne Gentle (FLOSS Manuals / Just Write Click) and Adam Hyde (FLOSS Manuals). Writers are mostly coming from the USA and we hope to include the following :</p> <ul> <li>Walter Bender (Sugar)</li> <li>David Farning (Sugar)</li> <li>Mel Chua (OLPC)</li> <li>Greg Dekoenigsberg (Redhat)</li> <li>Anne Gentle (FM / JWC)</li> <li>Emily Kaplan (Motorola)</li> <li>David Kramer (Austin XO Users Group)</li> <li>Janet Swisher (Austin XO Users Group)</li> <li>Adam Hyde (FM)</li> </ul> <p>All manuals created are free (libre + gratis)!</p> <p>Currently we are looking for donations in $50 (USD) blocks or $500. $500 will get one of the writers to Austin and $50 will help cover some of the accomodation and food costs.</p> 2008-08-21T17:00:00-07:00 5000.0 1373 0 2008-07-31T17:00:00-07:00 2010-02-08T13:24:04-08:00 0.0 1269 0.0
