John Bartlett owns and operates Bartlett Publishing,...
DocBook DTD, OpenJade, Text::PDF, GIMP
 ... uploads ---> CafePress or LightningSource.

John Culleton of Able Typesetters and Indexers ...
Tex, Gvim, ConTeXT pdfTeX, Xpdf, ps2ascii, pfaedit, PUStils, makeindex,
GIMP, Scribus for CMYK outputs.
Culleton makes two points about the strengths of open source software.
First, "All of these tools are supported by active email lists. I don't
have to call an underpaid clerk.... I get superior support from users
and maintainers of the software."
