Hi all,
I was just speaking with Josette from O'Reilly (she is the O'Reilly UK PR manager who arranges review copies for lugs etc.) and she asked if I could forward the info on Tim O'Reilly giving talks in the UK on to the list.
The other news is that she is arranging for the Alug Library to get some new/more books. I will let you know what we have when it arrives. I also am going to look at setting up some kind of review section on the website so that if you borrow books you others know what you think of them, and of course let Josette know also.
Anyhow details of Tim O'Reillys talks are:
Tim O'Reilly will visit the UK in June. He will be giving several talks -
****London
Date: June 23rd Time: 6.30 pm for 7.00 pm Where: City University Pre-registration is mandatory see - http://www.ukuug.org/events/TimOReilly/
****Birmingham, NEC
Date: June 25th Key Note Speaker - LinuxUser & Developer Expo 2003 see - http://www.linuxuserexpo.com/
Thanks Adam

Could we interact with an existing reviews site? Is that a good/bad/mad idea?

I don't see why not, just there is a commitment that we have to make to review books for them and pass the reviews on to Josette. I don't think that means a 5 page review either, a few chapters would be fine. Anyhow if you know of somewhere that already exists to put reviews up then let us all know.
Also the next batch of books we should be getting are:
Building Embedded Linux Systems Learning Red Hat Linux Running Linux Linux Server Hacks Using Samba Free as in Freedom The Cathedral & the Bazaar
When we have them we will put them into the Alug library and they will be ready for borrowing.
