[Pdx-pm] Fwd: OSCON Early Registration Ends June 4--Register Now

[The Dread Parrot]

In previous years, there has been a stacked-discount for registering 
with the usergroup code ("os07pdxug") + the early bird.  I'm guessing 
that still applies this year.

Led by Tim O'Reilly and the Radar team, this all-day event on Tuesday,
