Mahlah, I have not gotten around to paying for tier 2 membership. However, I just finished "The Cathedral and the Bazaar" by Eric Raymond and as most on this list know, is one of the seminal tome's of the open-source and Linux culture. Since I have the book maybe you could just order it anyway and use it as a donation/draw at the next CLUG if I do a review.
"Homesteading the Noosphere" also by Eric S. Raymond (http://www.firstmonday.dk/issues/issue3_10/raymond/) and "The Business and Economics of Linux and Open Source" by Martin Fink are also in progress, but Fink's is not published by O'Reilly and H.T.N. is not published yet I dont think? Let me know as I may have to make some quick plans for some Vancouver trips later this week and next so the sooner I start, the better.
