I'm not sure what is currently happening with the Free GIS Book. I think there are currently more questions than answers. :] I posted an inquiry about the book on the OSGeo Education mailing list, but I haven't received a response yet. I decided I would get started on at least part of the book, and that I would make changes sa recommended by other OSGeo members that are actively working on the Free GIS Book. If there are no other members actively working on it, I'll see what I can do to get things rolling.

I will start with a chapter about math for maps and mapping professionals. This is a subject that I need to prepare documentation for as part of another commitment, and it will give me a good opportunity to iron out some wrinkles in the Free GIS Book. I will be maintaining this chapter of the Free GIS Book in 3 formats:
 
−
 
 
−
[1] On this wiki. This will be the most dynamic and "cutting" edge version of the chapter.
 
−
[2] As an ODT document. I'll use this to actually write the text content of the chapter, so I can take advantage of the spelling and grammar check.
 
−
[3] As a PDF. This form of the chapter will be useful for hard copy prints and will be produced from the ODT version of the document. I will find a place to keep a template of the ODT document so others can use the same fonts and page layout if they choose.
 
−
 
 
−
I believe I will release this chapter under the creative commons license, but I haven't decided for sure yet.
 
  
−
I'll bounce all of this by the OSGeo education mailing list. :]
