Hi all

I'm in the midst of writing a book about Packer:

https://packerbook.com/

Part of the process is finding some folks to do the technical review of
the book. The technical reviewers job is crucial to ensuring the quality
of the technical content.

I've written a post about what a good technical reviewer does:

http://kartar.net/2013/08/what-makes-a-good-tech-reviewer/

If you're interested in doing this then the bad news is that it's unpaid
but the good news is that you get a full credit in the fronts matter of
the book including a bio and a link to your website/LinkedIn profile etc.

The job itself is pretty simple - review content, test code, check I
don't mess up technically and generally that the technical coverage is
complete and makes sense. It's a pretty short book so it shouldn't take
too long.

Please email me off list if you're interested. Please provide a rough
idea of your background and experience with Packer. I'll be compiling
an initial list and then getting back to folks when I am ready to
start sending out chapters.

Thanks!

James Turnbull
