Welcome

We've just opened registration for the O'Reilly Open Source Convention, July 25-29, 2011 in Portland, OR. This year we're adding two new conferences, co-located with OSCON, focusing on key areas where open source is driving innovation: OSCON Data andOSCON Java.

Don't forget to arrive early to attend the Community Leadership Summit on July 23-24. We're hoping to get as many user group leaders and other community contributors as we can to participate at this free annual event.

Are you're an experienced Android developer or a recent newbie? We're looking for contributions for "Android Cookbook." Create your own recipe, suggest one you'd like to see, or vote for your favorite by joining the Android Cookbook community.

Stay tuned for more Android goodness coming up soon from O'Reilly.

Thanks,

---- Marsee Henon and Jon Johns
