Best wishes, yuwei -------- Original Message -------- Subject: [SummerSource-L] Writers needed for hands on guides to Open Source Date: Fri, 09 Feb 2007 14:37:44 +0000 From: Becky Faith <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Organisation: Tactical Tech To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi all, My name is Becky Faith and I'm working with Tactical Tech. Do you have a passion for communicating to 'normal' people about technology? Do you know your Gimp from your Drupal? Tactical Tech helps human rights organisations use technology in developing countries. We're creating a citizen journalism toolkit which will help these organisations use open source tools. These guides take people through the stages of thinking about what they are trying to achieve, who they are trying to communicate with, what resources they will require, small projects to help them get started and tip sheets on using the tools. We're looking for experienced writers to create easy to understand guides for selected open source tools including Audacity and Gimp. These will be divided into mini-projects to help users get started with the software and hands-on guides with interviews, expert tips and techniques. If you're interested in working with us to create a new kind of manual – a kind of 'open source made easy' guide – do get in touch. We're looking for people to help us on a freelance project basis. My email is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Please include a couple of samples of your published writing. _______________________________________________ summersource-l mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.tacticaltech.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/summersource-l -- Yuwei Lin | yuwei at ylin dot org http://www.ylin.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
