KDE Spark Tablet Pre-Order Registration Open [OStatic]
A
new little tablet PC has been making a bit of stir around
Linuxville the last couple of weeks. The Spark tablet, featuring
Mer OS and the KDE Plasma Active desktop, was introduced on January 28 by the face of KDE, Aaron
Seigo. It quickly became a mini-sensation as users clammored for
availability and purchase information. Today, Seigo revealed the
new registration Website and procedure.
The Spark features a 7 inch 800×480 display, 1 Ghz ARM processor, a Mali 400 GPU, 512 MB of RAM and 4 GB of storage. It has a 1.3MP front-facing camera, WiFi, and a microSD card slot. Better still is the modest €200 (approximately 265 USD) pricetag. Seigo posted a video of the Spark in action.
For those interesting in pre-ordering the Spark, Seigo explains the procedure is to register with Make Play Live and wait for a email. Although Seigo didn't explain fully, he implied the actual ordering process isn't open yet and this registration is more of a gauge of interest. Emails will go out when ordering begins and pre-registration allows those to move ahead of the line.
See Seigo's blog for more information such as a Spark Q & A and the proposed new Add-ons App.

Free Online Book, "Open Advice," Features Well-Known FOSS Contributors [OStatic]
If you've ever dreamed of
launching an open source project, or have recently launched one,
you may stand to benefit from the wisdom of those who have done
so before. Contributors to open source projects, too, can benefit
from the knowledge other people in the community have on topics
ranging from open source licensing to the complex rules that can
surround who owns particular contributions to a project. That's
where a new, free online book called Open Advice comes
in. It features far-ranging advice from 42 contributors and
project originators on many topics. While it's for sale through
several outlets, you can get it online at no cost whatsoever.
According to the promo copy for Open Advice:
"This book is the answer to 'What would you have liked to know when you started contributing?' The authors give insights into the many different talents it takes to make a successful software project, coding of course but also design, translation, marketing and other skills. We are here to give you a head start if you are new. And if you have been contributing for a while already, we are here to give you some insight into other areas and projects."
The books authors and its editor have contributed widely to many projects, including KDE and GNOME. Jono Bacon, Ubuntu Community Manager, contributed a portion of the book, as did Jos Poortvliet, OpenSUSE Community Manager.
If you want to support the book, it is available for a fee on either Lulu or Amazon, but the free online version is an easy-to-navigate PDF. It's worth the download.
For much more advice on launching a project or contributing to one, see our post "10 Resources for Successfully Launching an Open Source Project," which delves into licensing and legal considerations, resources for developers, best practices, and more.
