Sponsorship

The Kachemacs are a not-for-profit organization. We are an open group of individuals who gather for a common purpose. We have no dues, so all of our material benefits come from sponsors. If you wish to donate to our cause, please send a PayPal contribution.

Our corporate sponsors include:

Apple, Inc

As a recognized Macintosh Users Group, we receive a number of benefits from Apple. Our group is announced in the User Group Finder. We are given an account on the Apple Sales Web which provides the group’s Ambassador on product training. Apple software for review is provided to the group for a nominal fee. A free dotMac account is provided and maintained for the group as well.

O’Reilly Media, Inc

O’Reilly Media, Inc. has included the Kachemacs in their Users Group Program. As a recognized Macintosh User Group we get a number of perks for our members:

• 35% discount on all titles for the Kachemacs. Enter discount code DSUG.
• Special discounts on O’Reilly conferences and tutorials.
• Free review copies of books for members who follow the book review guidelines for the Kachemacs. The reviewer writes a review for our site and is allowed to keep the item.
• Donations of books and promotions to be used as incentives for the group.

Thank you for your support, O’Reilly!
