Ever wonder how to fit all those O’Reilly books on a bookshelf? Try using
a virtual bookshelf and an O’Reilly subscription service.
Yes, this is a plug for a service, but it is actually useful, and given
how much I’ve personally spent on O’Reilly books, this looks like a good
deal to me.
If you’re not yet familiar with the O’Reilly Network Safari Bookshelf,
it’s worth a look. With Safari, you can access over 1,000 technical
books from the top technical book publishers – O’Reilly (of course),
Pearson, and Microsoft Press. There is an extremely cool search
capability that allows you to search through all 1,000+ books for the
answer you need–or even code samples–in minutes. Check it out at:

Congratulations to Kelly.
He received the first O’Reilly book that was being given out. He is now
the proud owner of Using Samba, and hopefully he will post a review on
the site after he reads up on the topic.
Next month, there will be another book on the table. For those
interested, the meeting conversation included site monitoring,
ecommerce, and burn out.

UPDATE - The mailing list software has been broken for quite some time.
I was completely unaware for a while, that shows the activity it wasn’t
getting. I have decided not to revive the mailman based system, but to
add a new one. Hopefully it will integrate into this system a little
better.As some/most of you know by now, I have installed mailman on the
web server. You can sign up for announcements at

This area is for the proposal of topics for future meetings.If anyone
has any ideas for meetings, please post them here. If you have something
you want to present, please feel free to volunteer to do so.
It would be a good idea to post meeting ideas individually as new
topics, so we can have a separate running commentary on each topic. Once
we get a few on the go, we can have a vote on what we want to see when.

I will be migrating the contents of this group over to the website
over the next couple of weeks, primarily to get rid of the annoying
advertising. It also will allow for a much more flexible site.
