Hi, the Google Doc Camp has nothing to do with Google Docs. The program is run by Google, they pay to fly in ~half a dozen FOSS developers from your project from anywhere in the world, pay for the hotel, and provide office space to work out of (typically) during the week before the Google Summer of Code summit. The idea is to improve FOSS documentation, hopefully resulting in something on the scale of an eBook. AFAIK there is no requirement or even suggestion to use Google branded tools, and no requirement or even suggestion to make the results available in anything other than the license you use for the rest of your software + whatever distribution method you like. (and I believe using an OSI-approved license is a pre-condition) here's an example of a previous Doc Sprint result: http://sahanafoundation.org/sahana-eden-essential-guide-produced-at-google-doc-sprint/ So very similar name, but two completely different things. This one is simply a gift to the FOSS world. regards, Hamish
