As part of O’Reilly Media’s commitment to delivering vital technology information to people who need it, when they need it, O’Reilly is launching an ongoing series of PDF publications to address cutting edge technologies. O’Reilly’s PDF guides are in-depth, immediate, timely, and authoritative. Readers can purchase and download the PDFs through the O’Reilly online store, with no restrictions on the ability to save, copy, or print them.

The advantages to readers are numerous. O’Reilly authors can disseminate crucial information as the need arises, without having to wait for enough material to fill an entire book. Production time is reduced dramatically, giving IT professionals and others immediate access to the knowledge they want. Plus, readers can easily search the text, copy and paste handy bits of code into their applications, and take the PDF with them even when they’re offline. But most importantly, readers won’t have to compromise in their pursuit of timely information–these PDFs provide the high-quality content for which O’Reilly has come to be known.This month’s PDF offerings are available now:

Sorry for the late posting, I forgot I hadn’t taken care of it before the conference last week.

This is posted from the OSW mailing list, with a few edits for readability.

Yes, I’m confirming that Free Culture Carleton will be involved in the May 14th [OSW event. I’ll give details about our presentation(s) on the wiki. I’m interested in doing a talk about Creative Commons, self-publishing media, and the iCommons summit.

Someone I know may do a presentation on Linux audio software. Please pass the wiki password to me and I will put the details up there.
