Good news for you book hounds! The Charlotte.PM has been approved for
the O'Reilly User Group Program. In a nutshell this means we can request
review copies of any of the O'Reilly books. In addition, we can get a
20% discount on any books we buy as well as free shipping if the order
is over $30. It's an all-around good deal.

Here's what we need to do in return:

 1) Add a banner to the website (I'm still looking for a volunteer to
 help me with redesigning the site using the wiki)

 2) Review books and send your reviews to the mailing list so that we can
 post them onto the website; in addition, you can post them to any online
 book review site such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Slashdot.

I'd like to maintain a library of books that can be checked out by our
members. I don't mind lugging the books if someone would volunteer to be
the librarian and keep track of the books (preferably via the wiki so we
can see what's available, what's in and what's out).

I plan to place a request by December 15th which should have the books
available to us by the next meeting in January (remember there is no
December meeting). Send an email to the list with your request. As
usual, this is a FIFO process (we can't request duplicates).


Thanks,
William
