We thought you might be interested in a blog just posted about our next
project; a booksprint on how to read and understand oil contracts.

 How to read and understand oil
contracts<http://openoil.net/drupal6/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=160&qid=11206>

As some of you may know, at the end of October, we at*
OpenOil<http://openoil.net/drupal6/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=161&qid=11206>
*will be convening a group of world class experts to write a book on how to
understand oil and gas contracts, aimed at the non specialist. We believe
this will be the first book to open the process of oil and gas contract
negotiations to the lay reader, as well as an innovative use of a method
we’ve borrowed from the software world, called a
*‘booksprint’*,<http://openoil.net/drupal6/sites/all/modules/civicrm/extern/url.php?u=162&qid=11206>which
brings together the group in a farmhouse in Germany for 5 days to
collaboratively author the book, which will then be released under *the
Creative Commons license.
