Part of the aftermath of yapc this year has been a discussion about
forming "Yet Another Society", a non-profit group for organizing future
yapc's (and possibly other small conferences, and possibly other things
which smell like Perl or open source advocacy).

Anyway, one of the tangential discussions has been where in North America
to have yapc next year, or whether there's enough interest for two on one
continent.  Montreal and Washington DC keep getting mentioned, but we
don't know if anyone's actually talking to venues yet in those cities.  So
others are encouraged to think about possible hosts for next year.

When I read the draft list of requirements 

http://relish.concordia.ca/rich/yapc/venue-reqs.txt

My first thought was that UNF has everything on the list except good
public transportation, especially to and from the airport.  But I'm not
connected to the university well enough any more to even know who to ask
if *anyone's* using Perl there, and if so, if they're interested in taking
on a headache like hosting a conference.

Any thoughts from this list?
