Subject: [Hampshire] O'Reilly Community News letter revamp.

Hi all,

In the early days, I was around when O'Reilly came to actual lug meet ups and ever since I've had more direct contact with them in an informal basis.

Recently there was a change of guard as some folks moved on to other community projects and the current team felt like revamping the O'Reilly Community project.

They shouted out for feedback on the newsletter in particular - a PDF with lots of embedded links and the community requested the format be changed to be more transparent.

You would not believe how shocked they were when we demanded a plain text version! The Community team have however come good and this month the first ever text version and an online html version are available, the Pdf is gone and the content more readable. (subject to being dazzled by the cyan links!)

So If you have a moment please can you visit these new online versions and share your thoughts on the list, or sign up to receive the letter, as i don't think its appropriate to just forward the text version to the list for all the reasons i can think but mostly thats so 1998!

Thanks

Also for random conversation at the next meet up - can you go to the site www.oreilly.com, and Search for your last book and find out what your last O'Reilly picture was ?

You can find it in the book detail page i.e.- http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920029564.do?sortby=publicationDate Click Colophon for the full description of the animal.
