Hi there,<br>
<br>
We all know that a faster website makes our customers happier. The real question is, what more can you do to fully optimize your site to delight your users-and improve your bottom line?<br>
<br>
I spent the better part of last year talking to community leaders (including you!) about what resources they needed most, and I'm happy to say that we're moving in the directions that many of you suggested. From how to sell web performance and user experience to your boss, to embracing risk and failure, monitoring, and mobile, we're exploring new trends and releasing new products and information.<br>
<br>
You can find an up-to-date collection of resources including upcoming webcasts, free reports, blogposts, and videos from O'Reilly editors, authors and speakers at: <a href="http://oreilly.com/velocity" target="_blank">oreilly.com/velocity</a><br>
<br>
If you (or your group members) would like to connect in person with other developers and engineers responsible for web ops and performance, O'Reilly's Velocity Conference is coming up June 24-26 in Santa Clara. Members of your group can save 20% with this special discount code: USRG<br>
<br>
Early Price ends May 8, so if you're able (and so inclined) to send out a quick note (Example Below) to your members, it would be much appreciated. Also, we currently have two open calls for speakers: we're accepting proposals for Ignite Velocity in Santa Clara until May 16; for Velocity Europe in Barcelona, the deadline for speaking proposals for the main program is June 3.<br>
<br>
For all conference details, please visit <a href="http://velocityconf.com" target="_blank">velocityconf.com</a><br>
<br>
Please let us know if you have any questions or comments. If you'd like more books or reports, feel free to email us at <a href="javascript:;" onclick="_e(event, 'cvml', 'usergroups@oreilly.com')">usergroups@oreilly.com</a><br>
<br>
<br>
Lastly, don't forget to sign up for DevOpsDays and/or WebPerfDays,<br>
which will be immediately following Velocity:<br>
DevOpsDays: June 27-28, <a href="http://devopsdays.org/events/2014-siliconvalley" target="_blank">devopsdays.org/events/2014-siliconvalley</a><br>
WebPerfDays: June 27, <a href="http://webperfdays.org/events/2014-siliconvalley" target="_blank">webperfdays.org/events/2014-siliconvalley</a><br>

<br>
Cheers!<br>
