Hi,
McGraw-Hill/Osborne Media supports the service that User Groups provide 
to
the technical community. We value our relationship with community-based
groups and welcome the opportunity to form partnerships with User 
Groups to
disseminate the latest technological information available in Osborne
publications, and want to invite you to join our User Group Partnership 
by
signing up at http://www.osborne.com/usergroups/index.shtml. 
Osborne encourages participation by technical User Groups that meet
regularly, discuss, teach, and troubleshoot technical topics, write 
book
reviews, and publish print and/or online newsletters. 
Osborne can provide User Groups: 
*	Review copies of McGraw-Hill/Osborne Media books for newsletter
reviews 
*	Book donations and promotional items for User Group events 
*	A 30% discount on bulk purchases of 10 or more books 
*	Speaking engagements and roundtables with our authors (as available)

*	Monthly e-mail newsletter featuring newly-published Osborne
publications 
*	Quarterly full-color catalogs that cover coming attractions 
*	Event sponsorship opportunities 
User Groups can provide Osborne: 
*	Reviews of Osborne books published in your newsletter and on your
Web site 
*	Notification of published reviews or user reviews to use for
publicity purposes and editorial reviews 
*	A link to Osborne.com and/or OraclePressBooks.com on your User Group
Web site 
If you are the director or leader of a not-for-profit, volunteer-based 
User
Group, and are interested in having your User Group become an Osborne
partner, please register at 
http://www.osborne.com/usergroups/index.shtml.  
As a special service to our Linux User Groups, we have posted two 
preview
chapters of Linux: The Complete Reference, Fifth Edition, by Richard
Peterson.  This book will be published in August.  Feel free to check 
it out
at http://books.mcgraw-hill.com/betabooks/jun02/petersen/index.html.
We look forward to working with you!
