X.Org Book Sprint 2012 Monday Sept 17 & Tuesday Sept 18. Nürnberg (Nuremberg), Germany.
The X.Org Consortium will hold a book sprint on the Monday and Tuesday before the Developers Conference in Nürnberg Germany. During these two days attendees will focus on a book for graphics drivers development. The book will be targeted towards new contributors but will have enough details to be useful to all levels of graphics driver development. Anyone interested in helping out and contributing to the book sprint is encouraged to get involved.
From http://www.booksprints.net/about/
"A Book Sprint brings together a group to produce a book in 3-5 days. There is no pre-production and the group is guided by a facilitator from zero to published book. The books produced are high quality content and are made available immediately at the end of the sprint via print-on-demand services and e-book formats."
Our book sprint will be slightly different than that. Our book sprint is only two days and we are not starting from complete scratch. We are starting with Marcheu's existing guide, located at: http://people.freedesktop.org/~marcheu/linuxgraphicsdrivers.pdf
For more information or if you would like to participate in the book sprint, please contact: board at foundation.x.org marcoz at osource.org
