insight into a small scale, technical Open Source software development
collaboration. Perhaps you, the reader, have started, or are part way
through, a project; or you are a manager or investor wanting to dig a
little deeper into the inner workings of Open Source software
development. As the designer, developer and author of a project I

through the stages of development from initial conception to
beta-1.__”_ – Damian

REVIEWS AND FEEDBACK
"Having just finished reading Walking With The Elephants, I am
recommend it to anyone who is working on, or considering working on a
small scale open source project. I currently work on a small distro,
doing the majority of the work on my own and I found myself nodding
and agreeing in several places. As well as finding that I have
completed some of the same processes that the author did, it was
interesting to see what may lay ahead, and finding what pitfalls have
been encountered. I also found that the tone of the book was
friendly, just the right side of informal, and unlike some books in
this genre, not at all dry. All in all, I really enjoyed this book,
and for someone like myself with a short attention span to sit and
read the book in one sitting is quite something."
