Hi Walt, One of your members contacted me. The code for a 20% discount on books and conferences is DSUG. That will even give them 20% off the Early bird pricing for any of our conferences. It is also good for 20% off any O'Reilly books purchased directly through us. I am including a batch of our coupons with that info in the books I have sent you. I noticed you are running an announcement about the Perl 7.0 Conference on your site. The code will be good for our Open Source conference too. If you want this discount info on your web site, feel free to do so. We are not worried about it being abused. Many groups have done this. I will have some Open Source banners available if you are interested. All our User Group graphics are located here: http://ug.oreilly.com/ I have been trading books for ThinkGeek banners placed on your members site. IF they send me a link, I will send them a book. --Marsee ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Marsee Henon O'Reilly & Associates 1005 Gravenstein Highway North Sebastopol, CA 95472 707-827-7103 800-998-9938 Fax 707-829-0104 marsee@oreilly.com http://ug.oreilly.com/ http://www.oreilly.com/ http://conferences.oreilly.com/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ----- End forwarded message ----- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
