Conference Driven Publishing
The document discusses conference driven publishing and the author's procrastination in writing a book. It proposes a process of proposing an unwritten talk, having other interesting but unproductive experiences, and finally giving a talk about what should have happened. It encourages writing books using Markdown, Pandoc and free publishing platforms like Amazon, and provides examples like the Plack Handbook to demonstrate it is possible on any topic or size. The author promises another update in Granada and signs off, encouraging the audience not to procrastinate and to write a book themselves.
