I emailed PluralSight (also now CodeSchool) and they said every year we have to re-apply for sponsorship to get another box of swag. So I just submitted the information for this year.

qwo commented 9 years ago

Just got a notice.

O'Reilly is switching to an e-book model for usergroup books so members will now be able to go on and pick titles like Manning.

Good thing is now, they can request any book they're interested in, in the JS realm.

qwo commented 9 years ago

Packt has requested and their books are in the mail.

What's the current book status?

tjwebb commented 9 years ago

I think no starch isn't worth wondering every month whether no starch books are going to get here. That's my status.

thoughts? I propose we drop them and move on

lynnaloo commented 9 years ago

I just put these issues in here so I know what books we have to raffle. More importantly, that we have at least one book to raffle.

qwo commented 9 years ago

heres a pic, we got plenty .. if someone has some favorite titles to pick for next month let me know ... https://www.packtpub.com/all?search=&type_list%5Bbooks%5D=books&offset=&rows=&sort= img_20150236_191225_1024
