I just got email confirmation that the Portland Ruby Brigade has been accepted into the O'Reilly users group program. There are a lot of benefits available to us. In particular, I mentioned the availability of review copies of their books. I've emailed them about specifics on this (like, can we get other books distributed by them, the pragprog books, for instance?) and will let everyone know the details of this as soon as I get it all straight.

There are also discounts available to us. Conference and book discounts, in particular. As it's likely the most immediate benefit to everyone, I thought I'd just quote the bit from the email about the book discounts:

Your group members are entitled to a 30% discount on a single title or
35% on two or more O'Reilly, No Starch, Paraglyph, PC Publishing,
Pragmatic Bookshelf, SitePoint, or Syngress books purchased directly
from O'Reilly. The discount code your members should use is DSUG.

I'll try to get something out to the group later this week detailing the full extend of the program and what it means to us, but I wanted to let everyone know about these discounts as soon as possible. If someone is getting ready to sign up for one of their conferences, let me know and I'll investigate the conference discounts.
