Hello, everyone!
I'm giving a presentation Thursday night, July 9th. I've written and
published several articles, prepared books for retail on Amazon and
other ebook distributors, typeset and created print books for
print-on-demand services such as CreateSpace, and I'm working with
Apress to publish a book on Ubuntu this October. All with Ubuntu! I'll
be talking at a San Gabriel Valley LUG meeting, and everyone's welcome.
Everyone's welcome, but SGVLUG is requesting that attendees RSVP at the

Abstract:
The old saying goes that "everyone has a book inside of them", and
advances in technology have made publishing more accessible than ever.
The opportunities in traditional and independent publishing are wide
open. But writing a book remains a daunting task, and new authors will
encounter many steps along the way.
What does it take to publish information in the digital age? Hybrid
author Nathan Haines discusses working with traditional publishers that
use proprietary software and formats, and describes the self-publishing
process from start to finish. From ebooks to print, is Free and Open
Source Software up to the task?
Bio:
