[DG: Open Forum] Release of "Sakai: Building an Open Source Community" book

[Charles Severance]

Someone else can write the "happy" narrative and put a happy picture on the front.  My narrative (2003-2007) was about a struggle and the cover reflects my feelings at the end of the struggle.  :)

If I wrote a book about Sakai and IMS from 2008-present - it would be a much happier story and a happier cover - but I doubt I will every write that because happy thoughts are nice but boring :)  I will probably never end up writing that book.

I do want to write a "How to use Sakai-10 Book" tho.

You should take it at the next conference and get some other people from the community to gaze at the screen while you are coding.  That will also give you a little time to get the 坂 井 inked below the ripple.  Kanji tats are all the _rage_ with the kids.
