What is 1 + 5

Summary: In order to help with documentation and guides for developers, both existing and new, we will have a book sprint the two days prior to XDC2012.

When: Monday Sept 17 & Tuesday Sept 18. Opening hours will be early in the morning (TBD, 8am?) until we call it a day (but certainly no longer than 10pm).

Where: Keßlerstraße 1. Room 4020 (4th floor, which would be 5th floor in American way of counting), a small part of the Georg-Simon-Ohm-University, in the old "Postbank". It's the building at the corner, the yellow "Postbank" sign is still widely visible. In approximately the middle of the same building there is another "Postbank", with the same sign, that is the new (wrong) one.

What: Driver Developers Guide (tentative)

Who: The X Book Posse
