We are members of the O'Reilly User Group Program.

Some Benefits for Us

Some of the benefits that were specifically mentioned in the welcoming letter we received to the Program include:

• Review copies - of O'Reilly books and other products
• Discounts - 20% discount on all O'Reilly products and conferences
• Promotional Items - e.g. books, T-shirts, coasters, ...
• Speakers - O'Reilly authors as potential speakers
• Newsletter
• Catalogs - quarterly
• Event sponsorship opportunities

Note from George: Let me know if there is an O'Reilly book you wish to review. I may be able to get you a review copy. And let me know if you want to know the discount code for getting a discount on books purchased directly from O'Reilly.

Newsetters

We receive a newsletter from the O'Reilly User Group Program every week or so.

Since October 1, 2003, the practice has been to post new newsletters on the Oakland.pm mailing list. You can find these newsletters on the Oakland.pm mailing list archive.

Some Things We Can Do for O'Reilly

Some of things that we can do (but are not required to do) for O'Reilly are:

• Display an O'Reilly User Group Program banner on our site. (Which we do in 2 places.)
• Encourage members to review O'Reilly books, post such reviews on our site, and send a link to each new review to the contact for the O'Reilly User Group Program. (All of which we do.)
