> Hi all,
>
> I would like to introduce to you Bill Pollock, owner of NoStarch Press
> (USA), who will join this maillist and who is very interested to
> publish one or two books on Blender this year. With NoStarch the
> Foundation also entered an agreement that makes them our 'preferred
> publishing partner'; allowing them to use the Foundation and Blender
> brand, in exchange for a friendly royalty share.
>
> Efforts are now being made to work at releasing a new Complete manual
> for Blender 2.3x this fall, the famous Xmas deadline! NoStarch has done
> book projects with free licenses before, and will work within the
> framework of Open Content on this.
>
> With Bill I've also brainstormed about more publishing opportunities
> with Blender. Like a dedicated book for video professionals, or a book
> for people who like to use the code (Blender C Cookbook!)... I leave it
> to him to take the lead in this, with potential contracting of
> individuals as well.
