Hello Open Org community and stakeholders for the IT Culture Change book project.
*Project status: Green* This week, the project achieved another major milestone as authors began receiving editorial guidance on their submissions. Many of those submissions are already finalized and typeset, and are available for inspection in the project's repository. We have 6 outstanding chapters at various stages to finish up--great job to everyone involved! For the remaining milestones, there are two ways that each of you and others in our community can help: 1. *Proofreading.* Page proofs are being pushed to our GitHub repository daily, and these proofs contain incremental updates to the book manuscript. Anyone wishing to assist with copyediting can download the proofs and inspect them for errors. Please report bugs (that is: typos, stylistic inconsistencies, etc.) as GitHub issues or via email to [email protected] (which will then be opened as an issue). 2. *Compose chapters reviews.* We'd like every chapter to conclude with a short "review" section containing a bulleted list of 3-5 key takeaways and 3-5 discussion questions for readers and teams using the book as a study aid and workbook. We encourage community members to help us compose these and submit materials as GitHub issues and/or via email to [email protected]. Need a team building exercise? Have a mini book club by downloading a chapter. Then have your team read it, create the takeaways and discussion questions together, and submit them. *Project timeline* * April 17 - May 1 — Drafts returned to authors for revision * May 1 — Final copy editing and production (layout/design) begins * May 25 — Project soft launch * June 1 — Project release In the meantime, we'll continue to work with authors to polish their work. Daily code pushes will continue as we incorporate more work into the proofs, so check back frequently (or, better yet, follow the project on GitHub!). Thanks & regards, Jason and Bryan Note: All communications like this will be re-posted to the Open Org IT Culture GitHub repository. -- Jason Hibbets, RHCSA :: Twitter: @jhibbets Senior Community Evangelist, Red Hat :: Raleigh, NC Discover an open source world -- http://opensource.com _______________________________________________ Openorg-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/openorg-list
