Way cool!
If we do this right and keep our books affordable so more
people can afford to buy them, we should pay our way and
make a few bucks. Once we do a couple of books, we can
gage interest and be able to adjust our costs and prices
accordingly.
One thing though. After FUDCON, when the pics start rolling
in, we are going to be using Open Source Software to
create the actual books. Most probably Scribus, Open Office,
The Gimp, and ?. Maybe we could approach some of these
projects and set-up an agreeable time for the most people,
then have someone from these projects give us a IRC Fedora
Classroom session on How-to use their stuff to create a
book.
