Well, Scott forwards the newsletter from O'Reilly each month to the list.
I've asked Scott to request 2 titles from them, and I suppose he has done so.
I think that they kind of fell behind on getting books out to LUGs (that was
mentioned in one of the newsletters a month or so ago). At any rate, we never
got our free books.
I'm all for free stuff, and am more than happy to do a review now and then.
Ok, you are hereby volunteered to spearhead the effort. Please contact each
of the publishers that BRLUG mentioned (except for O'Reilly) and ask them
nicely if they have a program for LUGs. Make sure they have our URL, etc..
Put me, you, and Scott down as contact people. Also mention that if they ever
have a rep in the area, they are more than welcome to give a presentation
(long or short) at nolug.
Kepp us posted.
