Starting a book on Django and Cassandra

I am starting a book project, that I'm calling Integrated Django and Cassandra. While Django and Cassandra are at the 'center' (mostly meaning, beginning) of the book, the real focus is on going through a python project and showing how it integrates with numerous other technologies.

I know I don't exactly have much of an audience for this announcement, but it should be an interesting ride. I'll be using Hudson, EC2, Chef, github, twill, pycassa, mock, and lots of other stuff. I'm trying to write the book in reStructuredText using Sphinx, which is working pretty well so far.

I'll try to post about it as I go along. I'm hoping to make the book available as an ebook on a variety of platforms, when finished.
