Some of the people there and thoughts

Mark – has done collaborative writing with local groups using etherpad - The development of Cryptoparty manual has been interesting - different directions – moved onto github – they were then merged. Christian - Comment press – annotation of wp posts. Different tools vary in their use. Rich – Bristol wireless website was a wiki – this has been edited and improved by other users – google docs another tool Frederica – collaborative editing of a book previously - wikis could be useful to replace paper based collaboration. Widening involvement. Brent – a more activist friendly google docs would be useful – saving and importing from word docs is often needed – low entry no password is good. Libre office is coming up with an online set up. Micaela interested in collaborative writing from publishing background Michael - as above Pheadra – invites us to a book sprint on the plight of the bumble bee children's book. Loukas - - involved in a visual communication coop – writing policies collaboratively Scotty – bits of collaborative writing for green tech also on policies. Using crabgrass and another wiki and everpad. Also interested in documenting workshops. Darren – etherpad, but there are issues working with online tools like that.

Mick gave a presentation on Booktype and Booksprints. Some of those notes are up online here. http://blog.clearerchannel.org/2014/06/17/booktype-ebooks-learning-platform-future-cetis/
