[osg-users] OSG books and merchandise at SIGGRAPH BOF
Hi all -- I plan to bring OSG books and merchandise to the SIGGRAPH BOF this year for resale. If you're interested in purchasing anything, please send me an email in advance so I can place bulk orders to minimize the shipping cost. In the email, tell me what item(s) you intend to purchase, and in what quantity. I must receive your order no later than July 26. Books: * OSG Reference Manual v2.0, $29.96+ship * OSG Reference Manual v1.2, $24.85+ship * OSG Quick Start Guide (color), $31.00+ship * OSG Quick Start Guide (BW), $13.40+ship Merchandise: View http://www.cafepress.com/openscenegraph http://www.cafepress.com/openscenegraph for products and per-product prices. I have to add some kind of shipping charge. I'm not sure what it will be yet. It should be much less than if you ordered one or two items direct from Lulu.com, skew-matrix.com, or cafepress.com, because I'll order in bulk and average the shipping cost over all the items.. Be prepared to pay at the BOF with a check payable in US funds, or by credit card (MasterCard, Visa, or American Express).

Might I suggest you add OpenGL Distilled to the collection as understanding OpenGL is pretty useful to OSG users ;-) I few of the BOF's we've given away T-Shirts as prizes, its a little bit of fun, I'll donate some this year by buying them off cafepress and then sending on to one of you guys turning up for the BOF. Perhaps a couple of books would go down better than T-Shirts though... Feedback welcome. Robert.

RE: [osg-users] OSG books
Sorry, yes northern hemisphere summer. The v2.0 book should be out soon. Maybe available at SIGGRAPH (but don't hold your breath). Note that the Reference Manual v1.2 covers three libraries: osg. osgUtil, and osgDB. Bob and I considered adding osgViewer for the v2.0 book, but Lulu.com has an upper page limit for this binding, and we would likely exceed it if we added osgViewer. So, the v2.0 book will likely parallel the v1.2 book and cover only osg, osgUtil, and osgDB. Which begs the question: When will the rest of the osg distribution be available in a reference manual? I must preface the answer with a disclaimer: The following is all pure speculation. Bob and I are thinking along the lines of a series of reference books that group areas of OSG by subject: * the OSG nodekit reference * the OSG plugin reference * the OSG windowing system reference * the OSG terrain database reference Etc. But we haven't gotten past the conceptual stage on much of this. The windowing system reference would contain info on osgViewer, osgGA, and osgManipulator, for example. The idea is to keep each book within Lulu's 740-page limit for soft cover perfect bound. As I said, this is all pure speculation, so don't hold us to it. -Paul -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rizzen Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2007 11:53 PM To: osg users Subject: Re: [osg-users] OSG books Hi Paul, I have the Quick Start Guide and I must say the quality of the book is impressive, you really do get down to using OSG quickly. Though for the simple examples, but it is a start for all new members of OSG. :) It also acts as a mini reference for some of the older members who don't work full time with OSG, the hobbiest I refering too. The only concern I have about the official Reference is that it is for OSG 1.2, and we are sitting at OSG 2.0 which is also a major version change, thus plenty nice new features and some API changes, particularly to the use of SimpleViewer, etc thats helps with better integration with many widget libraries. I believe the new interface will work better with GTKMM and GTK+, as the older interface was a real pain to use. Though I discover ease of use when I have free time at the end of the year.

I, for one, like that idea, and think it would be a good way to give focused information to users. If this ever gets done, put me down for at least one copy of each (at least, because by the time they're done, I may have co-workers who will want them too, fingers crossed :-) ). In any case, keep up the great work, and good luck with all these cool projects, J-S -- __ Jean-Sebastien Guay [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://whitestar02.webhop.org/ This message was sent using IMP, the Internet Messaging Program. ___ osg-users mailing list osg-users@openscenegraph.net http://openscenegraph.net/mailman/listinfo/osg-users http://www.openscenegraph.org/

Re: [osg-users] OSG books
Arg You already answered my question for my previous email, but with a global snag. Which summer are you refering to? Northern or southern hemisphere? If southern hemisphere summer, looking at Dec 2007? If northern hemisphere summer, looking at July 2007 or July 2008? Also another thing, if one buys the PDF, can one print a few pages, so one can work on the OSG projects when away from electronic equipment, like when you on a wilderness trip for a few weeks.
