Now that it's been announced at YAPC::EU this morning, I can safely send
to the list and say that we won the bid!!  YAPC::NA 2007 will be in
Houston!

 

The 'interim' home page has been posted at http://www.yapc.org/America.
The plan is that TPF will provide a hosted site running in ACT (A
Conference Toolkit).  For more info on ACT, see here:
http://act.mongueurs.net/

 

Please let me know if anyone has any questions.  I'm pretty excited
about this (and a little nervous as well).  I'm not sure it has
completely sunk in yet.  Wade, Will, and I have already started working
on pulling things together and gathering more information as needed.  We
will be working with TPF, Larry, and Damian to zero in on specific dates
for YAPC.  We will also be working with both UH-central and UHD to
choose a venue.  Information for UH-central was used in writing the bid.
I believe Jim Brandt (TPF Conference chair) is going to set up a
listserv for yapc organizing.  This is probably where most of our
organizing discussions will take place so as to not flood this list.
Once the hosted ACT site is setup, it will probably serve as our central
resource for hosting yapc.

 

I hope everyone's getting excited about it.  We need to start (probably
should have already started) compiling a list of possible sponsors or
supporters and getting contact information for them.  We have the
'usual' sponsors that we will be contacting, but the more the merrier.
Also, note that the sponsors/supporters do not have to be in Houston.
Please feel free to offer ANY ideas.

 

We'll give an update a little later once the listserv and ACT site get
setup.

 

Here's to an excited and busy 10 months!
