> Hi Mongers --
>
> We're gearing up for it again. YAPC::America::North 19100 is in the
> works,
> and interest has been mounting in other YAPCs: Europe and Australia,
> with
> some rumour of Asia also. Here is the Call for Participation for the
> North American YAPC this year; it'll be 3 days long this time, but
> still
> grassroots. We'll have to cut off registration at about 500 people
> this
> time, which is almost double last year's number. I'd like to see
> Mongers
> get in early. The registration page should be up in a few weeks.

> Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC) is an inexpensive ($75) perl
> users and developers conference, with a mix of tutorials and
> technical talks. The conference is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
> and so is relatively accessible from both the East and the Midwest.
>
> YAPC began as a grassroots users conference, from discussions
> among Perl Mongers, and has grown from there. We would like
> to invite you to join us for two days of Perl, people, and
> demonstrations, at a price that shouldn't hurt your wallet.
> There will be a limit of just under 500 people for the conference.
>
> A number of members of the Perl community are contributing to this
> event, including:
>
> Larry Wall, Abigail, Damian Conway, Mark-Jason Dominus,
> Joseph Hall, purl, Randal Schwartz, ...
>
> ... and YOU! See the CALL FOR PAPERS below!

> Look to the main web page for more details --

> ** Dorm rooms **
>
> A limited number of inexpensive dorm rooms are available at
> Carnegie Mellon, that will be given preferentially to students,
> but more generally on a first-come basis. This is to further
> reduce the cost for those with limited resources, especially
> students, who we are trying to encourage the most. More
> information will become available when registration begins.
