I'm somewhat confused. If it's an upfront cost, how is it deducted from
our royalty checks?

Can we get a summary of the price per book again? And will this be
black/white or full color pages? (I was peering around the Lightning
Source website and apparently they provide both services.)

Clint doesn't work at Red Hat, IIRC.

Let's hold off until after FUDConF11 for deciding on a vendor, I think
people need some more time to digest this information. Right now, I
think the process for getting pictures is more important, with FUDCon
starting seven days from now.

(Speaking of which, spot has reported to me that RH Legal will be back
in the office next week, so we should have some idea on what to do with
release forms.)
