About the Book

This book covers the sessions of the Drupal Design Camp, held in Berlin, Germany 25+26 June 2011.
Each speaker will write a chapter.
To clarify any confusions I want to provide a few answers to questions I got during the past few days.

How will this book be distributed?

We will distribute the book as:

• HTML pages at http://cocoate.com/ddbook (FREE)
• PDF downloadable from http://cocoate.com/[will_come_soon] (FREE)
• Amazon Kindle version
• Apple iBookstore version
• printed book available at Lulu (http://www.lulu.com/)

When will it be ready?

We asked the authors to get ready until July 15th (that's hard).
You can follow the progress by looking at the HTML version.
A few days later, the downloads will be available.

What is a hapter?

A chapter is one page on the website and usually 10-30 pages in a book.
It consists of text and screenshots. The screenshots will be uploaded to Flickr and embedded in the page

All the content of the book will be under Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 Generic (CC BY 2.0).

Author

The author of a chapter provides the content and is mentioned:

• on the website in his chapter (example Robert Douglass - Drupal Gardens)
• on his page (example Jeff Burnz)
• in a sidebar block at each book page (Have a look at the sidebar)
• as author at the amazon product page
• in the list of authors

Publisher

cocoate is the publisher of the book and provides the following services:

• project management
• hosting and delivering of the pdf file and HTML version
• adding and managing the files at Amazon, Lulu and Apple
• make sponsors and authors visible on the website

Sponsors

Thanks to a lot of companies and individual people who support the creation of the book we are able to realize this idea.
The sponsoring is chapter-based and one chapter costs 99 €.
The sponsors are mentioned by a:

• full banner in the sponsored chapter
• full page in the book at the beginning of the sponsored chapter
• list of all sponsors

Who gets the money?

The money we collect from sponsors is hopefully to cover the costs of the whole publishing process.
The money which comes in through selling books will be donated to "Front End United" for the next meeting.

Please comment if you have any questions concerning any aspect of this project.
