This organisation, Friends of OpenDocument Inc, will be closed at the end of June 2020. This website will stay up for awhile, under new management.
Our published books that are not obsolete will continue to be available through three pages at Lulu.com: LibreOffice User Guides, Jean Hollis Weber, and Bruce Byfield.
UPDATE: Lulu has changed its website and its publishing process. Therefore, the section on “Using Lulu’s publishing service” in Chapter 16 of this book is out of date. Many things have not been working for publishers, but they are slowly getting fixed. Jean intends to rewrite that section when the site is working properly again.
We have published Jean Hollis Weber’s new book, Self-publishing using LibreOffice Writer 6: How to use free software to write, design, and create ebooks and PDFs for print-on-demand books.
