Documentation. It tends to slip between the cracks of many FOSS projects. It's not because documentation isn't seen as being important. Many projects just don't have the time or the extra hands needed to bang out those words. That's where FLOSS Manuals comes to the rescue.

Started by Adam Hyde, FLOSS Manuals aims to create quality free documentation for free software. And FLOSS Manuals does it using Open Source principles.

In this presentation, Scott Nesbitt will discuss:

* The origins and aims of FLOSS Manuals
* How the project works
* The types of people who contribute to FLOSS Manuals
* What a book sprint is and how one works
* The good, bad, and ugly of the FLOSS Manuals book sprint that took place at Toronto Open Source Week 2010
