Hi everyone

I wanted to share an update on the FreeDOS 28th Anniversary Ebook. You
may remember this is the book of interviews with FreeDOS developers
and users.

I've started a GitLab project for the ebook. You can find it here:
https://gitlab.com/freedosproject/freedos28/

I've uploaded plain text copies of the interviews I've received so
far. If you are interested in participating in the ebook, and
ESPECIALLY IF YOU ALREADY RESPONDED TO THE INTERVIEW, please take a
look at the project. If you responded to the interview, but you don't
see your interview listed, THAT MEANS I DON'T HAVE A COPY OF YOUR
INTERVIEW (I may have missed it in my Inbox, or it was caught by a
spam filter, etc.) If your interview isn't there, LET ME KNOW so I can
get your interview response added.

If you want to contribute to the ebook, but haven't responded to the
interview, this is your last opportunity to do so. You can find the
list of questions in the GitLab project.

I originally planned to have other technical editors help me with the
editing process, but that didn't work out due to timing. So I will do
the editing myself, with input from the community! I'll plan to edit
everything in the open on GitLab.

The first phase was to get everyone's raw interview responses into
GitLab. The next phase is to organize the responses into a structure
or format. I'll do those edits in LibreOffice, which is how I'll
publish the ebook. Drafts will get posted as ODT and PDF files.

The updated (expected) schedule is:

July to early August - edit
early to mid August - first draft
community review opportunity
mid to late August - second draft
community review opportunity
late August - final (published)


Jim
