Message-ID: <24007.1308223484@pier.ecn.purdue.edu>

I've been to at least two Open Source Conferencces but don't go any more
because they are expensive (yep, even if Purdue pays for it---I'm cheap
even with tax money).  If you haven't been to one and work with open
source software you may want to go to at least one.  If you do go I
suggest attending lightening talks (a series of a dozen or so five
minute talks).

O'Reilly Perl ebooks and videos half-off today (Wednesday 6/29) only.
Many or all of these are available over the web for free from
computers at Purdue.

20% OFF O'REILLY OPEN SOURCE CONFERENCE

I've been to at least two of these in the past and don't plan to go
again.  In my opinion they're a rip off.  I find the web, blogs, and
mailing lists to be a more than adequate substitute.  For Perl stuff
go to YAPC::NA (Yet Another Perl Conference::North America)---it is
much cheaper.

It's in Portland Oregon July 25--29.

I haven't investigated which discounts can be used or which discounts
can be used together.

As a valued O'Reilly customer, you can also Save 20% (over $400) when you
register for OSCON. Use code "os11perl."
