I recently put up a post musing offering sponsorships for tech books. The reaction I got, both in blog comments and private email, was overwhelmingly positive.
And people are eagerly awaiting FreeBSD Mastery: Advanced ZFS, by Allan Jude and yours truly.
So, I’ve decided to try selling sponsorships for FM:AZ.
Ebook sponsors ($20) get their name in the ebook. Print sponsors ($100) get their name in both the print and electronic versions. Other books will have other pricing levels.
Some of the emails I got after that first post let me know that some people will happily pay a few dollars to get a link to their dodgy web site in a reputable location. For that reason, I won’t be linking to sponsors in the ebook. (As usual, it’s a handful of jackasses that ruin things for the rest of us.)
You should know that the money from the sponsorships goes entirely to me. Allan both a) has a steady paycheck, and b) is too generous for his own good. (It’s, like, blatantly obvious he’s Canadian.) I intend to buy his beer at BSDCan.
Of course Lucas knows I don’t drink, so my beer tab will be $0.
Oh, right. Uh… Haveli? Gelato? Royal Oak burger?
Pay Allan back in Beavertails.
Does Allan like steak? http://www.empireottawa.com/

i've not been in the US for too long.
Hi I really enjoyed the first book any word on when advanced zfs will be out?
It better be out before BSDCan, if it knows what’s good for it.
