This is an idea that Jonathon had. It would be a list of books recommended by the JASIG contributors. Book cover images would link to Amazon such that JASIG would get a kickback for each book ordered via the referral mechanism.

(Interestingly, uPortal's developer books channel, once upon a time, did this, with the kickbacks going to IBS for a few minutes. The kickback feature was removed at the project administrator's request. -~awp9) ~jayshao I also put this in the category of "unlikely to generate enough revenue to be worth it". The idea of a virtual professional reading club is perhaps very attractive – pick a technical book (DDD, Effective Java, GoF Patterns, etc.) and have a themed discussion on a mailing list or in IRC. That seems to better build us as a community of practice and support our professional development and networking missions much more strongly than a passive list of books. In general, I think any linkages we can build between in-person events will only strengthen our community. |
