Membership benefits

So,

As mentioned on -private, I joined OSI last week. This week I received
this email. This is the type of stuff that I think that SPI is greatly
missing out on; building relationships with its members and the external
community.

Hello Joshua,

I wanted to personally thank you for recent membership. It is only
through the contributions of our community that the OSI can continue our
important work to educate the world about, and increase adoption of,
open source software.

Please find attached your OSI Individual Membership Card, suitable for
printing. The OSI participates in a variety of events, and is working
with our sponsors and affiliates, to provide various benefits for our
members, such as discounts on conference registrations, books, hardware,
etc. Your OSI card includes your OSI member number which may be needed
to receive some of these benefits. Some current examples include:

Free three months subscription to LinuxVoice Magazine with access to
back-issues (electronic version).
50% off Joomla World Conference.
20% off O'Reily's OSCON registration fees.
10% off Linux Foundation conferences, e.g. LinuxCon and CloudOpen
As a new member you should join the OSI Member Mailing List
(members(at)opensource(dot)org) at:
https://lists.opensource.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/members. You may
also want to join our other mailing lists that may interest you
(http://opensource.org/lists). In addition, please register for our wiki
(http://wiki.opensource.org) where you can actively participate in
developing OSI initiatives, join working groups and help define the
direction for our organization. You may also want to join the OSI's IRC
channel on Freenode, #osi.

Finally, please keep your eye out for our semi-monthly newsletter which
provides updates about the OSI, our community and how you can participate.
