I'm back from vacation ;-) I currently work on a manual "Dive into Linux HA 2" (or "An Introduction to Linux HA 2" - not sure about the title yet). Intention: shows how to work with heartbeat from command line by examples; all heartbeat concepts are shown with reproducible examples using Dummy and Delay resource agent - no special hardware is needed. What it does not contain: how to design a cluster; working with the GUI (which is IMHO not ready to use for production); real life cluster examples; Taret Group: newbies/novice/journeyman sysadmins Language: english Heartbeat Release: as of version 2.1.0 and upwards (with some references back to older versions like 2.0.8 - where they behave differently) Source Format: DocBook (I still struggle with layouts etc.) Current State: a PDF version is currently 30 pages long containing 20% of the content I would like to put in ---> I intended to write an article but it starts to become a book. Time Schedule: since my GF is on vacation (and thus I can fully work on it during my free time) I hope I get a first draft version ready for revision by mid/end September Problem: I need an OK from by Boss that I can release the document under a free License (I spoke with him today and it seems there should not be a problem) - I created the document in my free time but the knowledge I got mainly during work time. Main Problem: * someone from the developers has to review it because I would not like to give out false information * english is not my first languge (actually I never had it in school) - I need people who review the document * if someone worked with DocBook I would be glad for help with Stylsheets for PDF and HTML versions of the doucment If enough people are intersted to help out I could setup a mercurial repo (I have no server but I'm sure we will find one) for sharing the document - (after I cleared the License issues). kind regards Max _______________________________________________ Linux-HA mailing list [email protected] http://lists.linux-ha.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-ha See also: http://linux-ha.org/ReportingProblems
