On Saturday 25th, at the co-working / collaborative Parisian space "La Cantine", FLOSS Manuals (Elisa De Castro Guerra and Laurent Giacobino) will participate to a gathering about digital security for journalists: #J_Hack.
This week FLOSS Manuals participates to the Co-position research meeting in Brussels, with the other partners of the Libre Graphics Research Unit (LGRU).
The Libre Graphics Research Unit is a traveling lab where new ideas for creative tools are developed. Its diverse activities range from the practical to the theoretical via writing, research meetings, experimental prototyping, conferences and workshops.
Not too long ago, we told you about our exciting new partnership with Czech-based organization Sourcefabric, which is at the cutting edge of media and technology. We are now pleased to announce the fruits of our collective labour: Booktype. The new and improved, free and open source, online collaborative publishing platform.
The FLOSS Manuals platform is mentioned (along with our partners at Sourcefabric!) in the article "2012: The Year Of New Ebook Tools" on Forbes.com. The writer profiles many proprietary and some FLOSS options for creating e-books. Check it out!
