[Mpls-pm] MN Perl workshop?

[Dave Rolsky]

>From time to time, I've toyed with the idea of putting together a YAPC 
bid. I haven't pursued it because it's a crazy amount of work. However, I 
went to the Pittsburgh Perl Workshop last year, which was a one-day event 
with two tracks. It went really well, and it seemed like a manageable 
amount of work to organize. I'm sure I could get some info from the 
Pittsburgh folks, like budgets, timelines, etc.

I was thinking of trying to organize a workshop in the winter, mostly 
because then we can call it Frozen Perl ;)

The obvious first choice location would be the U of MN, but there might be 
other places that would work (MCTC? Macalester?).

Is anyone interested in helping to plan this? Does anyone have any 
contacts at school comp sci departments or student groups? At the U, this 
gets us a huge discount on room rental fees (departments 50% off, student 
groups 75% off!).
