Heh. I haven't seen anything of the Packt book except the cover, so I'm not basing my comments on its contents. (The cover seems nice enough...) This is more about the likelihood that we'll see several more CloudStack books in the next year or two and we should firm up our policy on whether we point to them off cloudstack.apache.org now. > Well, you could make the restriction any book that a committer was > involved in.....

(I've tech reviewed books where they took my suggestions and there was actual collaboration, and I've tech reviewed/edited books where it felt like I was throwing suggestions over a wall and the final product didn't reflect my suggestions/comments in the least. Books authored by committers might be a good metric. Best, jzb -- Joe Brockmeier j...@zonker.net Twitter: @jzb http://www.dissociatedpress.net/
