Scott Rosenberg's new book based on software development titled 'Dreaming in Code' will be out this month. He has used the software development of 'Chandler' - our PIM software as a basis for his book. Scott has been a friend of OSAF - sitting in our meetings, hanging out at lunches and gathering the data for his subject. I am waiting to buy a copy of the book to read about the early years of OSAF when Andy Hertzfield, Lou Montulli and others were active contributors. A lot has changed since then - the people, the product vision and the business strategy. The latest copy of Business Week(Jan 15th 2007) has also reviewed the book calling it a "fascinating look inside a software development project". Katie Capps has since then updated our osaf blog with where we are since Scott's narrative leaves off - around the end of year 2005. For all of you wanting to know where OSAF is going with Chandler and Cosmo, there's your read for the day.
