Hi there,
We're excited about our
upcoming Strata Conference
in New York City, September 20th-23rd.
It's for developers,
data scientists, data analysts, and other data professionals. Three
days of the nuts-and-bolts needed for building a data-driven
business—the latest on skills, tools, and technologies you need to
make data work. Demand for data scientists has skyrocketed in the
last year, so here's the chance to gain new tools and technologies
to meet this demand. Use discount code stn11usrg to get 30% off the
registration price.
Some Strata Events:
If you're headed to
Maker Faire New York, stop by
and say hello to Jon on Sept 17-18 in the info booth. The
call for makers
is only open until Aug 20th, but general tickets are available now.
We're happy the
Linux Plumbers Conference
is taking place in Santa Rosa, CA this year Sept 7-9. If you're attending,
say hi.
Science Hack Day is a 48-hour-all-night
event that brings together designers, developers, scientists, and other geeks
in the same physical space for a brief but intense period of collaboration,
hacking, and building 'cool stuff.' Want to create a Science Hack Day in your
town? Check out the open source
instructions. The next Science Hack Day will be in San Francisco,
November 12-13
Did you know we offer many
free book samplers at O'Reilly? If you have a new reader or tablet, or just want

Webcasts happening soon:
Thanks,
---- Marsee Henon and
