Hello,



I wanted to get in touch with you about sponsorship opportunities for the
Cincinnati Java User Group.  I work for SourceBeat, a new publishing
company focused entirely open source books.  As a new player in the open
source and publishing arenas, we are trying to let members of the
community know about us; which brings me to you.



One of our goals as a publisher is to support the open source community -
we do this in a number of ways including giving back to the projects
through donations of book chapters and percentages of our proceeds.  As a
Java User Group, you are our primary target audience, and we'd like to
support you as well.  We also want to know what you think about our
publishing model, so we would like to offer to sponsor your group through
a series of donations of our books.  The books would be yours to disburse
in any way you like - you can keep them for yourself, give them away to
group members, or raffle them off at meetings to make a quick buck for
your group!  No matter what you decide to do with them, we think you'll
really enjoy the material as it is all centered around open source java
projects.  We figure the best way to get feedback and get our name out
there is to go to the source (no pun intended!) and you are it!



Please let me know when would be a convenient time to contact you to
discuss this sponsorship in more detail or feel free to contact me at
anytime.  You can also visit our website (www.sourcebeat.com
<http://www.sourcebeat.com/> ) for more information on current books and
our unique subscription-based publishing model.



Thank you again for your time; I look forward to speaking with you and to
the possibilities that open source holds for us all!



Sincerely,





Jennifer Truitt
