Faire.

This year there will also be a Make Hardware Innovation Workshop
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z2fhvltjrtndr3tfmu7vfg3r5qmog57qpcb67bo8
right before Maker Faire Bay Area, so plan ahead if you'll be making a 
week out of it. That also goes for the recently added WebPerfDays
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zub3fu6j95oct904mj5ibbe4en5mou4phjcfeip0
held in conjunction with DevOpsDays,
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z3po9eo8dtaemvql9khlsd1d1o10787ia260t4no
directly after the Velocity Conference in June. And remember to get 
those review book requests in so we have plenty of time to process your 
request.

--Marsee Henon and Jon Johns

P.S. The first 10 people who are able to attend and email us back at 
usergroups at oreilly.com will get a free pair of tickets to Maker Faire 
Bay Area.
