BRL-CAD was selected to participate in the 2013 Google Summer of Code Doc Camp. A team of contributors got together in California, brainstormed, and wrote an entire book for BRL-CAD in just a few days. They created a guide for contributing to BRL-CAD.
You will design a layout for the book. You will likely need to research the different structural elements in the book book (i.e., code blocks, blockquotes, special quotes for commands, for manpages, etc.) and everything around like a front page, the font, etc. You will likely need to use the actual Doc Camp book content (at least some pages) to demonstrate a complete layout design.
Submit your design as a .pdf, .odt, set of images, or ask about other formats. Submit an editable format so we can make changes if needed. You're welcome to submit a rendered preview too.

Alexandra, did you edit the pdf directly or use some other format / software? Please also submit your editable format if you did use something else.
This design looks nice, clean. I'm curious why some sections/text have the yellow background while others do not. Is there some reasoning?

I used word to edit the book and then I converted it to pdf.
I have removed the yellow background so it should be ok now (It was caused by some shading settings that I didn't notice).
I've uploaded the editable format now :)
Congratulations, this task has been completed successfully.
