Hello,

Spring is here and that means folks are gearing up for OSCON and Maker 
Faire.

http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z4flr0m3fc9ntet6vos8tokad0qh49d1k43f41p8
This year there will also be a Make Hardware Innovation Workshop
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zh8ht0jog1d978s1tqehcc5utk8mk6a4iqpj25oo
right before Maker Faire Bay Area, so plan ahead if you'll be making a 
week out of it. That also goes for the recently added WebPerfDays
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zneo784dv4ul1rtn7toimrp7lc4pd3i7p56l4fj8
held in conjunction with DevOpsDays,
http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z7u4ueqa3ejmaibgd73bfmboq0phvq5a3psmlt18
directly after the Velocity Conference in June. And remember to get 
those review book requests in so we have plenty of time to process your 
request.

--Marsee Henon and Jon Johns

P.S. The first 10 people who are able to attend and email us back at 
usergroups at oreilly.com will get a free pair of tickets to Maker Faire 
Bay Area.
