FLOSS MANUALS BOOK SPRINT @ Documentation and Training West, March  
17-20, 2009 in Palm Springs, CA

If you are interested in participating in the next BookSprint (and  
getting free access to the Documentation and Training West  
Conference), let me know. We have 10 seats open for folks who are  
interested in participating in the BookSprint to create an open source  
documentation product using FLOSS Manuals. Participants are expected  
to work both March 17-18, but are free to attend the remainder of the  
conference, March 19 and 20, at no charge. Additionally, BookSprint  
participants will also have access to all of the general functions  
(keynotes, breakfasts, lunches, cocktail reception, exhibition hall)  
during the entire four day event. You will be responsible for travel,  
lodging (we have discount hotel rooms available -- while they last --  
at the Westin Mission Hills Resort and Spa), and meals whenever the  
conference is not providing food (dinner is on your own each night,  
lunch on March 17 and 20 is also on your own).

Again, if you are interested and able to travel to Palm Springs, CA  
March 17-20, please let me know. I'll put you in touch with the  
BookSprint organizer.

To take advantage of this offer -- ONLY AFTER YOU HAVE APPROVAL TO  
ATTEND AND A HOTEL ROOM BOOKED AT THE WESTIN MISSION HILLS, send me  
the following:

First name
Last name
Title
Company name
Daytime phone
Mobile phone
Snail mailing address
Email address
Confirmation number at Westin Mission Hills (our host hotel)
The names of the post-conference workshops the attendee plans to  
attend on March 20 ONLY (these require pre-registration)

I'm excited by this opportunity to work with the community on a user- 
generated content project using FLOSS Manuals and hope you'll decide  
to participate. We'll be updating the conference website soon with  
details about the BookSprint.
