This afternoon I finished my first book on linguistics. Except for
proofreading, it is ready for press. It will be printed by Linguistics
Publishing, Inc. (which I own) to be ready for fall university
bookstore orders.

The writing and a lot of the layout was done in OpenOffice.org 3.0.x.
Final layout was done in Scribus 1.3.5svn, with assistance from
Inkscape. The operating system was Ubuntu Intrepid and Jaunty, x86_64.

Not one penny of cash money was paid for any of the software used in
the project. Rather, payment was made by participating in e-lists,
wikis, bug reporting, and other resources to assist others in using the
software.
