Meet the members of FLOSS Manuals who came to Wintercamp in Amsterdam two weeks ago at the invitation of Institute of Network Cultures. Each of us says something about our individual parts of the FLOSS Manuals documentation mission for Free/Libre Open Source Software, and its applications and issues. (I talk about the Earth Treasury global digital textbook initiative.)
Each one contributes something to the mix in the meeting and in our incredibly productive Book Sprints--200 page books from outline to Free (GPL) digital and paid print-on-demand publication in five days, when you get the right mix of knowledgeable and talented authors, editors, graphic artists, and production people in a room together in a place with no cell phone coverage. Wintercamp was an experiment in bringing networks together to work on their own projects for a week and to link together at the same time. http://blip.tv/file/1879311/ You might also like to check out the Big Buck Bunny movie and other productions of the BlenderFoundation and the Peach Open Movie Project, published under Creative Commons license. They were made entirely with Free Software, most notably Blender for 3D animation. http://www.blender.org/features-gallery/movies/ -- Silent Thunder (默雷/धर्ममेघशब्दगर्ज/دھرممیگھشبدگر ج) is my name And Children are my nation.
