Hello,

We just got some exciting news for folks who would like to get their 
open source project on display at OSCON. The OSCON Nonprofit Pavilion 
application process has officially begun. Also, if you're attending the 
O'Reilly Fluent conference and would like to participate in Ignite Fluent, 
send in your talk today. And remember to get those review book requests 
in so our imaginary robots have plenty of time to process your request.

Cheers,

--Marsee Henon and Jon Johns

P.S. Did you see the Mac OS X Lion Ebook Deal running until April 26?
