This is a long shot, but...

..the venue for next year's YAPC has not been set yet, and I'd 
like to see it in Jacksonville (or at least in the Southeast. 
Atlanta and Gainesville may be the only other realistic 
choices) The big criterium for hosting one are:

1) A place to speak (including a large hall holding ~ 400 
people). This year's YAPC had 4 total rooms, only one 
of them was that large.

2) Cheap lodging nearby. This is the killer - traditionally 
YAPC has used nearby dorms to get the price down 
to about $40/night. But it doesn't have to be a college - 
we can think outside the box, as long as it is relatively 
affordable for out of town guests. Some stayed in hotels, 
but a good number of the 320 or so this year stayed in 
the dorms at McGill.

3) Local organizers, local attractions. No problem here. :)

Any ideas, comments? (Yes, some of you may have to 
drive all the way from Mass. [if you are still there])
