<br></div><div>Pittsburg: Early October</div><div>DC/Baltimore: Mid-April</div><div>YAPC: June/July</div><div>Orlando: Mid-January</div><div>Frozen Perl: ?? February?</div><div><br></div><div>Are there any I'm missing?</div>
<div><br></div><div>There seems to be a big gap in August/September. Early Sept may be enough time to plan the thing, but is it enough time to get the word out? There's also a gap in March, and Frozen Perl may not be happening anymore, so we could take Feb/Mar (even with the snow, we could call it Chicahguh Weather Appreciation Day).</div>
<div><br></div><div>There's also Early November, except YAPC::Brazil is the 15/16th November, so it'd have to be the 1st/2nd of November. After YAPC::Brazil, it's hard to do anything in NA due to the holidays.</div>
<div><br></div><div>We're going to have a planning meeting the second week of August (which probably puts September out of the running). If early next year it must be, that's when we'll do it.</div><div><br></div>
<div>Something to note: It's hard to find a completely unreserved time period for a brand-new workshop. This is a Good Problem To Have for Perl!</div><div><br></div><div>Doug Bell<div><a href="mailto:madcityzen@gmail.com">madcityzen@gmail.com</a></div>

</div><br><div>Saturday the building I work in is closed, which means no free conference rooms. Free is a wonderful price, though now that you mention it, I should check to see what the non-free price is and if it is allowed on Saturday.</div>
