OK, I'm one of the big miscreants here, but here goes a proposal laced with a screed: We -- Kplug as a whole -- have been woefully remiss in our responsibility to review the books that are donated to us by O'Reilly. How big a deal is this? Well, the books fuel the raffle and the raffle is our main source of club income. If the books dry up, we might even have to pay real dues. The meetings would be a lot duller, too. So I'm going to put out a challenge, kinda like pledge week on KPBS: I will write a review of an O'Reilly book to match every review another Kplugger writes, up to six (6), for the month of February. That's right -- you write a review of an O'Reilly book (hopefully one you've read, maybe even one from the raffle) and send it to Neil; Neil does his thing (I believe they go on our web site) and thanks you on the list; and then I see the thank-you note and I belt out a review _of a completely different O'Reilly book_ (!) and submit it. The result -- within less than four weeks we'll have a dozen reviews to show O'Reilly. Heck, maybe they'll even send down some T-shirts. Go to it, gang. -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- KPLUG-List mailing list [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
