NOw that the book is out

[Michael Loukides]

A bunch of @97tepsk tweets this morning inspired me to remind you: Now that it's out, tweet, blog, hold the book up at conferences, etc.! One of the reasons this kind of book works is that we have an army (60-some) of developers to spread the word. Word-of-mouth marketing is much more powerful than anything we can appear to do.

My copy still hasn't showed up in Sweden. How are other europeans doing? You got it yet?

Kind regards

Niclas

Thanks for letting me know.  It could be slow international mail, but I'll have Meghan check.

Mine arrived in Boston Feb 19 or 20. I ended up getting a second copy
from Amazon for my office.
There is probably an interesting (though not very useful)
visualization to be made out of "days since publication to arrive" v
"geographic location of author" ... :)

Mine arrived yesterday here in Oslo, Norway.

Hmmm. Bookstore distribution of anything technical has become really spotty. The one good tech bookstore in San Francisco closed a year or so ago.

If you want to take about a 90 minute trip up north, you could go to our office in Sebastopol. Not much to see at the office itself, but you can buy the book, then stop at some wineries in the area.

I bet that the Digital Guru in Sunnyvale would have it, but call first.

Same here, got it yesterday. Then again, I live only 2 km from Olve...

Sweden must be the white spot in the book distribution world.

I still miss my copy too.

Call any Borders bookstore and ask if they have it. If not ask them to
check nearby stores. I tried checking for you online but they search
by zip code and SF has around 30. I know they carry it because I
searched my zip and found that two of the dozen plus stores listed
have it in stock.

Good luck on the search,
Burk

Received my copy here in London last Monday. I was getting impatient
too a week ago, so I feel your pain!

Got mine to Strängnäs (often considered to be a part of Sweden) this
Wednesday.

Borders off Union sq has 5 copies (now 4), but they were in the
basement. Someone had to dig them out.

Something like that :^)

We'll find out later this month in Oslo:

And, hopefully, we'll organise something like this in London (through
the ACCU) in the near future.

I'm speaking tomorrow at DevNexus in Atlanta and in addition to
showing the cover as part of the "Who am I?" slide, I've got some
copies of the book to give to people attending the talk. That should
give us a boost in awareness!

I will flaunt my copy and mention about the book during my Qpid talk
in Toronto today.
I've already mentioned about this in the fedora blog and planet apache
with one person saying he will buy a copy :)

Meghan, it sounds like it's time to get Marcus another copy. His must have gone astray somewhere.

Mike

[Mattias Karlsson]

It looks like I am the only Swedish author that didn't get a copy...

... and in case you did not know, there is a release party for the
book in Oslo, Norway next monday. Nearly 300 geeks have
signed up so far, and the plan is to run a series of lightning talks
presented by the authors of several chapters in the book.
Kevlin will also be there to ask questions between the
talks:

http://xp.meetup.com/13/calendar/12703961/

I hereby encourage other geek communities out there to
do something similar.

Regards,

Nice! We should make some sort of announcement. It sounds sort of similar to the Ignite events.
