Dear Srinivasan
Thankyou for the book link
I was expecting a book like this
Why we did not make a book of this kind ?
I am in this list for the past 8 years.
I observer only few books are made by this list members [ Linux learning,
command ref and Tamil version of The Cathedral and the Bazaar ,Do not ask me
"why you did not write a book ?". because, i am still in learning process.]
Do not take my comments into your heart
Have a nice day
Thiagu

Friends.
Found an excellent book on Teaching Open Source.
"Practical Open Source Software Exploration"
"How to be Productively Lost, the Open Source Way Edition 0.8"
Get it at
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Textbook_Release_0.8
It has the following contents.
1. Foreword, by Greg DeKoenigsberg
2. Introduction to Free and Open Source Software, by Greg DeKoenigsberg
3. The Lay of the Land, by Chris Tyler
4. Getting the Code, by Greg DeKoenigsberg and Mel Chua
5. Building the Code, by Greg DeKoenigsberg

7. Fixing the Code, by Jeff Sheltren

This is an excellent book to teach/mentor/learn on contributing to open source.
