[Texas] Choice of 12 O'Reilly books

[Brad Allen]

Jason, do we have any news on which O'Reilly books are arriving, and
where and when they are being shipped?

I've started a wiki page listing the prize giveaways :
http://pytexas.org/PrizeGiveaways2010

Please add the O'Reilly books to that page.

The sponsor page was updated today so that sponsor logos are at the
top, and the link to prize giveaways are linked under the Special
Thanks section.
