How Geeky Is Your User Group? Find out in Manning's *Geekiest User Group
Challenge*
ATTENTION USER GROUP LEADERS! Does your merry band of programming misfits
stand a chance at claiming the title of "Geekiest User Group?" Here's your
chance to find out--and get some nice swag in the process! This month we're
launching Manning's first *Geekiest User Group Challenge*! Read on for
details.
How it works
On Tuesday, May 4, we'll post the *Geekiest User Group Challenge* quiz. Your
group will have a week to get your members to take the quiz. At the end of
the week, we'll announce the answers--and the winners.
The prizes
*Most Geeks*: The group that has the most members participate will win a
Manning sponsored dinner* plus 20 printed Manning books of their choice!
They'll also win the inaugural *Geekiest User Group 2010* badge to display
on their site.
*Smartest Geeks*: The group with the highest average score will receive 10
print books of their choice for their user group.
*Luckiest geeks*: Plus, every day we run the quiz, all participants will be
entered into a daily drawing where two (2) lucky geeks will each win a free
ebook of their choice.
Spread the word!
Email, blog, tweet, and otherwise spread the word any way you can to give
your user group members a heads-up. In fact, if you can plan your meeting
that week, you can fill out the quiz together. And while you're telling them
about the quiz, let them know that the regular user group discount code (*
ug367*) is good for *40% off* any Manning book (usually 36% off) through the
end of May.
