Hello,

With all this fantastic weather we've been enjoying, it's easy to see
why so many great things have started to bloom. Maker Faire is around
the corner and events like the Make Hardware Innovation Workshop and D2W
have popped up on the radar. The Ceres garden in the back of the
O'Reilly Sebastopol campus is taking shape and looking for support.
Also, the Greenlight for Girls robotics project just sprouted up in the
OSCON Expo hall and looks to be the premier event for young aspiring
engineers. And remember to get those review book requests in so our UG
strike force have plenty of time to process your request.

Cheers,

Marsee Henon & Jon Johns
