hey all
I was wondering a few things about the book...
First up...can we get this put prominently on the Inkscape site? :
<img src="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bookstore/bookstore.gif"/> <style> @import url("http://en.flossmanuals.net/bookstore/bookstore.css"); </style> <script src="http://en.flossmanuals.net/bookstore/bookstore.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> FM.init({"paging":false,"preferred":["Inkscape"]}); </script>
Next...can everyone that was at the sprint send me your postal address. I would like to send you a copy of the book. ...
LGM : It seems the LGM will be in may in Montreal...it also sounds like the meeting will have several days for people to work together...how about a second book sprint during the event to take the manual further?
I'd love to do it. Not sure if I can, but it's definitely a possibility.
related to this are two other issues :
- we can get a ISBN number (FM can pay for it, its about 100 euro all up). If we do this the book will be listed on Amazon etc...do you want me to do this? If so we need to edit it a little as I noticed a few oddities in the printed version. Its a days work but we need a 1 -day mini-sprint (remote) to clean it up.
I'd be happy to get an ISBN. I think it would be cool. Then we might be able to sell it in bigger bookstores one day. (I'm not sure if it's ready for that yet).
- if you decide a 'yes' on the LGM and ISBN then i have another plan too...how about we combine efforts to promote the bejeebers out of the book (especially before christmas) and see if we can sell enough to pay for everyone to get to Montreal?
That would be several thousand book sales...I'd like to *think* it's possible...we can try...
