<para>The OpenStack Foundation supported the creation of this book with
|
|
plane tickets to Austin, lodging (including one adventurous evening
|
|
without power after a windstorm), and delicious food. For about USD
|
|
$10,000, we could collaborate intensively for a week in the same room at
|
|
the Rackspace Austin office. The authors are all members of the
|
|
OpenStack Foundation, which you can join. Go to the <link

<para>Inside the book sprint room with us each day was our book

sprint facilitator Adam Hyde. Without his tireless support and

encouragement, we would have thought a book of this scope was

impossible in five days. Adam has proven the book sprint
|
|
method effectively again and again. He creates both tools and
|
|
faith in collaborative authoring at <link

encouragement.</para>
