Hi all,
I've been using OO and Linux since it turned to OO. I'm in the process of writing a book about computers and open source, low cost, and free software for Linux, Mac, and Windows that is "good enough" for the SMB market. I've been "writing" my book so far and have made a decision to use OO as the main tool to produce it, unless something comes up that deters this direction.
My question: I've downloaded the document template and see how things work but was wondering if someone knew of a template to produce a book or other documents? I intend to use mostly open source software such as GIMP, OO, Linux, etc to produce this project as well as one who "eats his own dog food" to show others that it can be done.
I've googled for free templates and this is what I found:
Since MS has some free templates here (http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/templates/default.aspx) do you think we could modify them for OO? Or do we NOT want to associate with them?
I found these book templates here:
http://www.self-pub.net/templates.html
Besides, they promote OO:

We could also use O'Reilly's recommended layout for their books since they publish about open source:

Or HP has some as well:
http://www.hp.com/sbso/productivity/office/index.html
If we can't download them, could we point to the URL for people to download themselves?
Just helping out,
Kevin
