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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z8uc4m5eo6ut4pj8qnag71om4008hj3pl29lkn88>is
around the corner and events like the Make
Hardware Innovation
Workshop<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z8miu98jrlfjsd346n9tfi9ukuvro5qsbq2vnkvg>and
D2W <http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1ztkr8f064vn4rg3eclmpotq36sce7ml78cfogi40>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<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zper19mdvatr4lak8dd8sc2d2eos7hf6hjm7lp0g>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.
