        Third North American YAPC: First Call for Participation

                         Yet Another Society
                  calls for your participation in

                              YAPC 2001
                      the Third North American
                    Yet Another Perl Conference

                      http://yapc.org/America/ 

                          McGill University,
                           Montreal, Quebec 

                       Wednesday through Friday
                           June 13-15, 2001 

YAPC is a place for people to meet and talk about Perl -- where people
who've done interesting things, people who are working on the language
itself, people who are using it daily, and people who are looking to
learn about it are all within arm's reach. 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 at 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 <na-author at yapc.org>. 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 <na-author at yapc.org>!
