Hi,

I'm on the grand rapids list even tho I live on the east side of the
state (berkley, mi -- never found a local Perl list).

I haven't seen anything here on this so if anyone's interested I can
share what a great time I had at Yet Another Perl Conference in
Montreal.

This is my web site page with everything I thought worth keeping about
the conference:

And I've gotta say all the local people were very very nice. They mostly
spoke French.

Anyway the speakers were fine, attendance was about 350, McGill
University (downtown Montreal) had excellent facilities.

My first YAPC so I have nothing to compare it to. But many of the
speakers were CPAN authors or book authors (or both). They knew Perl
"intimately".

My primary purpose in going was to get better acquainted with what the
Perl community expects from programmers (standards, so to speak). So I
got that accomplished just by "being there".

And that's my story. Thanks for listening!
