Book Sprints for Humanitarian Response
Over the past week I’ve been at Google in Mountain View working on a book sprint for OpenStreetMap. I had no idea when the week started that we were going to write a book in a week, nor that it was possible to do that. I also wasn’t familiar with FLOSS Manuals which operates under the premise that not only should software be open and free but the documentation should be as well. After the experience of the week, I believe the humanitarian technology community could benefit from a similar type of book sprint.
