[OE-core] [ANN] Heading for the Yocto Project open book

[Otavio Salvador]

Hello everyone,

Today is an important day for Daiane and I. We want to announce we are
working on an open book which will cover the Yocto Project from a more
general perspective.

We wrote a book[1] about the Yocto Project in past (released in July
2014) and it has been a very pleasant experience to follow its
repercussion. However the fact that a printed book is a static book
and we cannot keep updating it with errata fixes, improvements and new
contents, has been driving us crazy. So after a lot of thinking we
decided to start a new book.

We have never driven a project like this, and we faced several
stepping stones during the planning on how it would work, including
for example royalties and authorship.

If ever there is a printed version (ebook is always going to be free)
of the book, we want to give back in return of all the help we got
from the projects, donating 100% of the book's royalties to the
OpenEmbedded Project. We are in the process of including the book on
Amazon and Google Play store services but the PDF[2] and the Git[3]
repositories are already available.

As this discussion is off-topic for the forums here in copy, please
get in touch with Daiane and I directly if you have any suggestion,
critic, feedback or comment.

Best Regards,
