Thanks for registering for the O'Reilly User Group and Professional<br>
Association Program. Your application has been submitted for approval.<br>
<br>
Explanation of program benefits:<br>
<br>
Review copies:<br>
O'Reilly offers free review copies of our books to qualified<br>
groups. As the group contact, you may request a free review copy for<br>
your newsletter or web site. Requests for review copies MUST be<br>
submitted by you, as the contact of your group. If you wish for the<br>
review copy to be shipped to someone other than yourself, please supply<br>
the name, address and phone number of that person for shipment. Once a<br>
review of a book has been written, please send me a copy.<br>
<br>
Discounts:<br>
Your group members are entitled to a discount on O'Reilly products<br>
purchased directly from us. Information for placing an order is<br>
provided on the discount flyers that will be shipped to you, upon<br>
acceptance to the program. Your members are also entitled to a<br>
discount on O'Reilly conferences and tutorials. Other special discount<br>
offers may also be forwarded to your group from time to time.<br>
<br>
Other benefits:<br>
In addition, we regularly donate books and other promotional items for<br>
raffles or auctions to help your group raise money, or for meeting door<br>
prizes. On a quarterly basis, we'll send our latest catalog. Some of<br>
our authors are willing to speak at user group meetings--let us know if<br>
you are interested and well do what we can to help you arrange<br>
speakers.<br>
<br>
We'll also send you links to articles, tips, and news from the O'Reilly<br>
web site: <a href="http://www.oreilly.com" target="_blank">www.oreilly.com</a> and from the O'Reilly Network:<br>
<a href="http://www.oreillynet.com" target="_blank">www.oreillynet.com</a> when we think the topics may interest you.<br>
<br>

<a href="http://ug.oreilly.com/banners/" target="_blank">http://ug.oreilly.com/banners/</a><br>
<br>
*Encourage your members to review our books and post the reviews on<br>
Amazon, your site, newsletter, or mailing list--making sure you send me<br>
