In mine, there's an answer where I answer a different question than the one that's given (I answered the "desert island" question with a question about why I'd want to go somewhere without electricity.) Could you please fix it? Gregory > On 07/25/2022 2:45 PM Jim Hall wrote: > > > Hi everyone > > I wanted to share an update on the FreeDOS 28th Anniversary Ebook.

[Freedos-devel] Editing the FreeDOS 28th Anniversary Ebook
Hi everyone I wanted to share an update on the FreeDOS 28th Anniversary Ebook. You may remember this is the book of interviews with FreeDOS developers and users. I've started a GitLab project for the ebook. You can find it here: https://gitlab.com/freedosproject/freedos28/ I've uploaded plain text copies of the interviews I've received so far. If you are interested in participating in the ebook, and ESPECIALLY IF YOU ALREADY RESPONDED TO THE INTERVIEW, please take a look at the project. If you responded to the interview, but you don't see your interview listed, THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF YOUR INTERVIEW (I may have missed it in my Inbox, or it was caught by a spam filter, etc.) If your interview isn't there, LET ME KNOW so I can get your interview response added. If you want to contribute to the ebook, but haven't responded to the interview, this is your last opportunity to do so. You can find the list of questions in the GitLab project. I originally planned to have other technical editors help me with the editing process, but that didn't work out due to timing. So I will do the editing myself, with input from the community! I'll plan to edit everything in the open on GitLab. The first phase was to get everyone's raw interview responses into GitLab. The next phase is to organize the responses into a structure or format. I'll do those edits in LibreOffice, which is how I'll publish the ebook. Drafts will get posted as ODT and PDF files. The updated (expected) schedule is: July to early August - edit early to mid August - first draft community review opportunity mid to late August - second draft community review opportunity late August - final (published) Jim ___ Freedos-devel mailing list Freedos-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-devel
