I've been talking to several people about conferences this week, esp
YAPC. The thought crossed my mind to put together a bid for
YAPC::NA::2005; but the dead-line is in one month and I thought that
was too short a time span. Jim Brandt, the fellow that organized
YAPC::NA::2004 in Buffalo, told me that we could do the proposal in
one month. I talked to a few other people about this and learned that
Toronto really wants to host 2005.
So, what do I think? I think it may be possible to put a bid together
in one month to host YAPC in Chicago for 2005. In transportation we
win, O'Hare and Midway. In activities we win, Sox, Fire, and even the
cubs. For a venue, I was thinking IIT. They have the dorms open in
the summer, several halls for use. One of our members will be a
student there, and I'm alumna as is my wife and several of my close
friends. It's only 10 minutes from downtown by el or bus, right off
the interstate, a mile from the lake.
Anyone one else think we can do it?
