FOSS4G Handbook
Revision as of 01:12, 3 September 2012 by Wiki-Camerons (talk | contribs)
This Cookbook should be taken as a guide rather than a rulebook. It aims to provide guidance to future FOSS4G and FOSS4G related events, based upon the collective wisdom gained during prior events. As such, it is a continuous work in progress, and we encourage all FOSS4G organisors to contribute to and enhance this cookbook.
