Ok here it is.
http://dev.sourcefabric.org/browse/BK-384

Also I just noticed that you did a similar thing to what
bookipublisherlite achieves with the Open Spending Data sprint (see link
below).
How did you manage that?

nice one,
mick

I'll post this blog post by you Adam to keep the rest of the list up to
date as to what you are getting up to.


    Open Spending Data Released
    <http://www.booksprints.net/2012/11/open-spending-data-released/>

Finished and released. You can find the epub, pdf and mobi files plus
online html
here: http://openspending.org/resources/handbook/ch007_getting-cleaning.html


The book builds on the Open Data Handbook previously created by the
OKFN. The spending book will be used for workshops this week in Bosnia
and printed as booklets to assist the participants.

This brings me to a small break in what has been a crazy amount of
sprinting in the last 6 weeks. Since Oct 3 I have facilitated the
production of 4 books (all except one being on non free software topics
-- Open Oil, Open Spending Data, and Andre Malraux, and the CryptoParty
Handbook). It hardly seems possible and I'm grabbing a few days to relax
before moving on to Egypt at the end of the month for a Book Sprint (in
Arabic and English) on mapping Cairo and its ecological hot spots, and
then San Francisco to facilitate 3 simultaneous sprints (all free
software topics  - Fontforge, Evergreen, and Squeakland) and one final
triple sprint on Internet Security by the end of the year. That will
make a grand total of 13 books (approx 400,000 -- 500,000 words) all
freely licensed and produced in under 11 weeks.

On top of that the 2 books sprinted in September -- OER UK, and Notation
Systems could be added to the tally of what looks like a growing need
for Book Sprints and trained facilitators.
