Some of the great authors and coders in the field will be on hand to discuss their work, as well as the nature and direction of Perl itself. Please join us for three days of listening and talking about Perl in Montreal. * Conference registration will be available by Feb. 1, 2001 at http://na-register.yapc.org/ * Dorm rooms will be available at the University (rates TBA); the dorm request information will be on the website and registration form. Registration Cost: CAD$125 (about USD$85) * We are looking for sponsors. Please contact Kevin Lenzo (lenzo@yapc.org) for information about how you can help support the Yet Another society and YAPC. Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors. * Submitted papers: Submission Deadline: May 1, 2001 All topics are welcome. Here is a short list of subjects that might be presented: XML, CGI/Web, Interprocess Communication, GUIs (GTk, Tk), Natural Language Processing, Interactive Perl, Agents, Perl as Glue, Object-Oriented Perl, Scientific Applications, Guts, Internals, JAPHs, Perl Poetry, System Administration, DBI/DBD, Non-UNIX Perl, Security, Peer-to-Peer Communication, Your Favourite Topic. Please submit your abstracts to . Authors are requested to limit their abstracts to one or two paragraphs for Lightning Talks, and to 300 words for other talks. This year we will accept a number of types of talks: * Lightning: 5 minutes The lightning talks were instigated by Mark-Jason Dominus last year in Pittsburgh, and were replicated with great success at the European YAPC in London. Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use of conventional transparencies. Any use of data projector, etc, is discouraged, but allowed as long as the five minute time limit is maintained (set-up will be done as the clock ticks). The talk ends at the five-minute mark, regardless of whether or not the speaker has finished. Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. * Standard: 20 minutes A 'standard' talk is the preferred format. This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation. * Long and Extra-Long: 45 minutes, 90 minutes Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a Long or Extra-Long talk may be the format of choice. * Tutorial: 3 hours + break (possibly in two sets) Half-day (or possibly full-day) tutorials. Please submit your abstracts to ! -- Yet Another Society is a non-profit organization for the advancement of collaborative efforts in computer and information sciences. YAS promotes symposia, teaching, and group projects. See http://yetanother.org for more information.
