Thank you for registering for the O'Reilly User Group Program.

Welcome!

You may not have received an automated letter from the program after
you registered, due to complications on our web site.

Here are details about the program you should know--PLEASE READ:

O'Reilly offers free review copies of our books. As the group rep, you
may request a free review copy for your newsletter, online or for your
group library. Requests for review copies must be submitted by you, as
the contact for your group. If you wish for the review copy to be
shipped to another group member, please supply the name, address and
phone number of that member for shipment. If a review of a book has
been written, please provide me with a copy.

Your group members are entitled to a 20% discount on O'Reilly books
purchased direct from O'Reilly. The discount your members should use is
DSUG. They may place an order online at www.oreilly.com or by calling
800-998-9938. Your members are also entitled to a 20% discount on
O'Reilly conferences and tutorials.  Other special discount offers may
also be forwarded to your group from time to time.

In addition, we regularly donate books and other promotional items for
raffles or auctions to help your group raise money, or for meeting door
prizes--just let me know if you're in need of something. If you
requested our catalogs, on a quarterly basis we'll send our latest
version.

Some of our authors are able to speak at user group meetings--let us
know if you are interested and we'll do what we can to help arrange
speakers.

We'll also send you links to articles, tips, and book news from the
O'Reilly web sites via newsletters. If you opted not to receive the
newsletter, you may want to reconsider--as this is the best way to know
which books are being released, and serves as a reminder to request
review copies for your group. Many groups post the newsletters on their
sites.

What you can do for O'Reilly (not required):

- Add one of the following banners to your website:
  http://ug.oreilly.com/banners/
  Please have banner link back to www.oreilly.com.
  If you don't have a website, and only issue a newsletter, please 
  post O'Reilly information in the newletters. 

- Encourage your members to review our books and post the 
  reviews on your site or in newsletters--making sure to notify me 
  when the reviews are available.
