Free Open Source Textbook
This just in: I just found out that the folks at the Sun Developer Network are giving away free copies of Ron Goldman's text-book on open source, "Innovation Happens Elsewhere", which I've mentioned before, just for signing up to SDN (which is also free). I can't see a catch - get to it!
