The Open Source Book

The Open Source Book project will be developing the book using open source tools such as LaTex and CVS. LaTex allows authors to concentrate on the content of the book, rather than the typesetting. Authors can use basic text editors for the book, rather than complex word processors. However, more complex word processors are available for LaTex.

The project aims to bring the case for open source together into a compelling and easy to read exposition. Such a book is needed to communicate with the decision makers – such as politicians, heads of departments, CIO’s and CEO’s. The Open Source Book Project intends to take the expertise of the open source community to write a book putting the case for open source, and explaining how to manage the migration to open source.
