If you start one up, I'll join the mailing list, too. It really doesn't take that many people to start one up, but you are welcome to associate yourself with NOPM if you don't find any takers up there.

It's from 5:30 to 8:00, upstairs at Fair Grinds (3133 Ponce de Leon, right next to the soon-to-be-closing Whole Foods on Esplanade). Not sure what we'll be talking about, but I'm hoping to spend some more time playing with Catalyst. See you tonight!

Important Dates/Deadlines ------------------------- April 18 -- deadline for paper submissions May 12 -- last day of guaranteed accommodations YAPC::NA is a grassroots, all-volunteer conference. The speaker quality is high, the participants lively, and there are many extra social activities scheduled. We expect a bit over 400 people this year, and registration is proceeding faster this year than in the past. The registration cost is USD$85. Information on registration: http://yapc.org/America/register-2005.shtml http://yapc.org/America/registration-announcement-2005.txt Direct link to registration: http://donate.perlfoundation.org/index.pl?node=registrant%20info&conference_id=423 Want to be a speaker? Deadline for proposal submission is April 18, just over 1 week from now. Go to: http://yapc.org/America/cfp-2005.shtml Need accommodations in Toronto? Go to: http://yapc.org/America/accommodations-2005.shtml If you book before May 13 you will be guaranteed a hotel space. After that getting accommodations will become progressively more difficult. Prices we have arranged are in two different price ranges: approximately US$50 for a dorm room, US$72 for a decent hotel room. All accommodations are very nearby the conference venue. This message comes from the YAPC::NA 2005 organizers in Toronto.pm, http://to.pm.org/, on behalf of The Perl Foundation, http://www.perlfoundation.org/ We look forward to seeing you in Toronto!

The Toronto organizing committee is mailing all members of .pm groups with details about registration, submitting presentation proposals, accommodations, etc. So I won't repeat that info here. I will say (self-promotion department) that I've submitted proposals for two talks to YAPC. I won't know for a couple of weeks whether they've been accepted or not. In either event, I do hope to see some NOLA Perlmongers in Toronto. Since Toronto is a popular tourist destination during the summer, it's worthwhile to register early and reserve accommodations early. It appears that Air Canada operates between MSY and YYZ, but that the best pricing is obtained by taking an Air Canada code-share flight on United from New Orleans to Chicago, changing planes, then taking the AirCanada nonstop on the reverse leg. http://book.aircanada.com/pl/AConline/en/FlexPricerAvailabilityServlet; jsessionid=CZaqjnaMGBP01P2UCVDHXEDwoYqQywu2jpyUAbZZe730dhohP22q! -1634585733!302694313?
