## Now you can become a published author, too 

Here’s an opportunity to  spotlight your skills, grow your career, and become a published author, all at the same time. Join an ITSO residency project and help write a book in your area of expertise, while honing your experience using leading-edge technologies. Your efforts will help to increase product acceptance and customer satisfaction, as you expand your network of technical contacts and relationships. Residencies run 2 - 4 weeks in length, and you can participate either in person or as a remote resident working from your home base.
