I'm writing to remind you all that YAPC::NA is only a few weeks away. The conference will be held in Chicago June 26th through 28th and will feature four simultaneous sessions of Perl talks for three days in addition to a job fair, banquet, and auction. After the conference Damian Conway, Randal Schwartz, and brian d foy will be sticking around and conducting professional training classes and extremely reduced prices. This email is a little spammy (sorry about that), but I just wanted to remind you all about the conference and also ask for your help in promoting it so that we can fill up the few spots that are remaining. For more information check out http://www.yapcchicago.org. We invite you to put up posters: http://yapcchicago.org/yapc_poster.pdf http://yapcchicago.org/yapc_poster_white.pdf Or maybe a web banner: http://www.yapcchicago.org/yapc_banner_wide.jpg http://www.yapcchicago.org/yapc_banner_narrow.jpg Thank you for your help in making YAPC a success once again, Josh McAdams From sean at redhandsoftware.com Wed Jun 14 00:10:13 2006 From: sean at redhandsoftware.com (Sean McCune) Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2006 03:10:13 -0400 Subject: [pgh-pm] June 14 Meeting Message-ID: <448FB655.4050308@redhandsoftware.com> Hi all, It just occurred to me that the meeting is tonight (June 14th) and Barrie is on vacation. I can't make the meeting. Barrie didn't mention anything to me about it, so I don't think there will be anyone there to open up the building and lock it up again afterwards. So the usual location is going to be unavailable. Sorry if this is last minute notice.
