UG Programme Newsletter - January 2010 Issue:

Welcome

New Year resolution! I need to get this Newsletter out on time. That's going
to be difficult since things are always changing here.

I am sure you have heard that O'Reilly signed a strategic alliance with
Microsoft Press and that we are now distributing their books since January
first. So copies of these titles are available for review through this office.

Did you notice our new "O'Reilly Answers"
http://connect.oreilly.co.uk/oreillyuklz//lz.aspx?p1=05068S62&w=504&cID=0&cValue=1"

I'm inviting you to be part of it. In brief, O'Reilly Answers is a community
site for sharing knowledge, asking questions, and providing answers that
brings together our customers, authors, editors, conference speakers, and Foo
(Friends of O'Reilly). O'Reilly is at the center of an amazing exchange of
knowledge sharing and idea generation, and we want you to join us in changing
the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators.

GLOBAL IGNITE WEEK
--------------------------------------------------------------------
World-wide
1-4 March
O'Reilly Media announces the first Global Ignite Week, a "worldwide
distributed conference" of community-fueled Ignite events in more than 40
cities, from March

1-4, 2010. Upwards of 10,000 entrepreneurs, technologists, DIYers, local
heroes, and creative professionals are expected to participate in cities
including:Nairobi, Madrid, Lisbon, Casablanca, Paris, Brussels, London,
Cardiff, Oslo, Bristol, Berlin, Warsaw, Budapest, Dublin, Cape Town,
Strasbourg
Igniters will gather in pubs, theaters, and other convivial venues for an
evening that is a unique blend of networking, information, and fun,
encapsulated in the Ignite motto: "Enlighten us, but make it quick." In talks
that are exactly five minutes long, Ignite presenters share their personal and
professional passions, using 20 slides that auto-advance every 15 seconds--
whether they're ready or not. Global Ignite Week is both an in-person and
online event.
Local Ignites will stream live video during the event, and video of their
talks will be archived afterwards. At least 500 five-minute session videos
will be available on the new Ignite video site, to be launched in conjunction
with the event. For a sampling of the best Ignite videos, see the current
Ignite Show channel on YouTube.
