[SGVLUG] Writing and Publishing a Book with Free Software

[Nathan Haines]

Hello, SCVLUG members!

I wanted to sincerely thank you for having me at your July 9th meeting.  
Not only did I have a wonderful time presenting to all of you, but I 
also wanted to thank you all for your insightful publishing questions 
during the Q&A session, and for all of the kind comments and feedback 
after the talk.  As always, I remain available for further questions.  
Just send me an email.

I wanted to make my slides and speaker notes available for your 
reference.  You can download them here:

Unfortunately, my Nexus 7 tablet didn't record my talk, so I have 
neither video nor photos of the presentation.  I would love it if anyone 
would send any recordings or photos they took to me directly, so that I 
could have a record of the talk and perhaps put a couple photos on the 
Web as well.

I'm happy to say that my editors at Apress were happy to hear that the 
talk was a success, and asked me to remind you all that Amazon reviews 
make or break books.  I'm finishing my book "Beginning Ubuntu for 
Windows and Mac Users" in the next two weeks and I hope that it'll be 
published by October.  You can find out more about the book and 
pre-order it here: http://amzn.to/1MpbL9V

Thank you once again for being such a good audience.  I enjoyed the 
chance to speak to you all a second time, and I'm hoping to come back in 
the future to discuss some exciting upcoming Ubuntu features.

Until then, happy hacking!
Nathan
