Packt Publishing today announced the subjects on which it will be releasing some books in 2009. Packt is seeking authors interested in writing these books.  As a part of its ongoing commitment to Open Source, Packt is planning to release books on some of the hot topics next year like eZ Publish Templates, Customizing Zope Sites, Apache Jackrabbit, Apache CXF, Openbravo, OpenEMM, Django e-commerce, Bazaar VCS, Groovy dsl.

“Packt is a author friendly company. We have set up our editorial processes to help authors write their books in an effective way rather than being the rigid processes which expect authors to adjust to”, said Kshipra Singh, Author Relationship Manager at Packt. “We understand that most of our authors are working professionals who have a main job to do during the day on weekdays. Our flexible approach helps the authors to deliver quality content as fast as possible while taking into account that different authors have different circumstances, work differently and are comfortable with different timelines”, she further added.
