09 Apr 10: Impromptu Mini-sprint for Firefox, April 11th

I wrote last year about the book sprint for Firefox that I helped coordinate last year as part of DocTrain West. The book that we created in two days in March 2009 was updated by Firefox folks for Firefox 3.5 in July 2009.

At very much the last minute, I'm putting together a one-day mini-sprint to update the Firefox book to correspond to Firefox version 3.6.

It will be on Sunday, April 11th (the day after the Texas Linux Fest), from 11am to 4pm Central US time (OTC-6).

Everyone is welcome to join in, for whatever amount of time you can spare.

If you're in Austin, meet us at Genuine Joe Coffeehouse, 2001 West Anderson Lane. Let me know [janet at flossmanuals dot net] if you're going to show up, so I can arrange enough space for everyone.

If you're not in Austin, you can join us remotely on the FLOSS Manuals site and on IRC (irc.freenode.net #flossmanuals) — that IRC channel is embedded in the flossmanuals site, but you can use any client you prefer.

How to participate:

  1. Download and install Firefox, if you don't have it already.

  2. Register for a FLOSS Manuals login, if you don't have one already.

  3. Review the list of what's new in Firefox 3.6. Most can just be added to existing chapters.

  4. Go to the Write section for Firefox.

  5. Pick a chapter that you want to update and click the "edit" link.

I’m glad that you have such initiatives. I will register and look on the plug-in features. There are so many plug-ins available for Firefox and I recently found that a lot of users are not aware of them.
