O'Reilly is hosting another fun, free Ignite Boston event!

The fourth Ignite Boston
<http://ignite.oreilly.com/2008/08/the-fourth-ignite-boston-will.html>
will be on Thursday, September 11, from 6 to 10pm at the Hooley House,
one block from Faneuil Hall in Boston, MA. This is a larger venue, so
the acoustics will be better than our last event and there will be room
to sit, stand and mingle.

>From 6:00-6:45 pm, mingle and talk tech with your fellow FOOs (Friends
of O'Reilly), alpha geeks, and techies from the greater Boston area.
After the mingling and social stuff, we'll have a couple of special
keynote presentations to kick off our Ignite talks. Then, on to guest
speakers who'll catch you up on the cool, new, innovative stuff going on
in technology today. Don't blink or you'll miss their lightning-fast,
five-minute presentations. During intermissions, get a cold beer and
chat with speakers, sponsors, and O'Reilly's own editors. Join us
Thursday, September 11th, for a fun, energetic evening of talking,
learning, collaborating and drinking!

Check out the events and activities of our previous Ignite events. RSVP
if you plan to attend by emailing IgniteBoston at oreilly dot com. This
will also enter you in a contest to win $300 worth of O'Reilly books of
your choosing. You must be present to win. There will likely be other
items like tee-shirts and other promo items for those who alert us ahead
that they plan to attend.

Ignite is a user-generated event. If you're interested in speaking, then
submit a proposal for consideration.

Presentations must:

*Be no longer than 5 minutes
*Be on an innovative topic (no sales pitches, please!)
*Be viewable on a PC [a MacBook Pro with Powerpoint and Keynote, and
 PDF] with standard AV equipment
*Did we mention, no Sales Pitches.

For anyone that's never been to Ignite, you may find it useful to see a
talk or two. Here's a link to a few good examples from Ignite Boston 3.
