Once upon a time, I was told writing a book in 5 days was impossible… well… some years later and Book Sprints is churning it out.. check this out, the 14th Book Sprint for Cisco, and they produced a *500* paged book…
Still think its impossible?

This week we are in San Jose, California to facilitate our 14th @Cisco #booksprint. The first Book Sprint in 2014 produced the ‘Troubleshooting Cisco’s Application Centric Infrastructure (ACI). Many thing have changed since then, so we will now write the book again. Off we go.

It’s a vid of the VMware team that collaborated during a Book Sprint to write a manual on one of their products. Written in 5 days by a bunch of people and then presented at their conference, they then have a collaborative signing party! This kinda shit just makes me happy. This is amazing. Book Sprints is amazing. The Book Sprints team is even amazinger.

Shuttleworth Foundation Book Sprint
I’m in Sussex, UK – with a bunch of cool folks from the Shuttleworth Foundation. We are writing a book (facilitated by Barbara from Book Sprints) on the Shuttleworth Fellowship.
The place is beautiful – Ridge Farms. It was once a recording studio and has been used by Ozzy Osbourne, Whitesnake, David Bowie and the Tin Machine, Little Richard, The Beat, Sade, Flock of Seagulls and many many more…now it’s a retreat centre for groups.
I’m also taking some photos with my new camera to see how it works… lots to learn… below are some simple shots taken with no color correction and default/auto settings. Images link to a ‘lightbox’ display (click on each).
Added a few more from the second day…
