Bob Chassell was at the LDP Summit, and he initially expressed an
|
|
interest in publishing some of the LDP documents back then. He's still
|
|
interested, so I'm forwarding his email to the list.

The Free Software Foundation would like to publish several books
|
|
incorporating the extremely good information in your HOWTOs.
|
|
|
|
The goal is to create a `shelf' of useful books. These books would be
|
|
promoted in a major journal -- excerpts might be published there --
|
|
and would, we hope, go into major bookstores. And, of course, the
|
|
sources would be included in various distributions and on Web sites.
|
|
|
|
The works would be distributed under the GNU Free Documentation
|
|
License, thereby protecting both authors and readers, the former from
|
|
losing their reputation and the latter from artificial obsolescence.
|
|
|
|
My plan is to combine related HOWTOs, edit them (I hope minimally),
|
|
and create a coherent book. We would need permission from the authors
|
|
to sign their names on the works, the appropriate non-exclusive
|
|
copyright assignments, and sign-offs from whomever else, such as a
|
|
university or employer, who might claim to have legal right to an
|
|
author's work.
|
|
|
|
We might start with just one title; but I am thinking in terms of four
|
|
to six different books, so we could make intelligent plans for a
|
|
bookshelf.
