[Van-pm] yapc 2006

[Helen Cook]

Hello,

So there was some talk earlier about having yapc in vancouver.  Lucky
for us, since no proposals have been submitted, the deadline for 2006
has been extended to October 15th.  

I've been gathering prices and max capacities from potential local
venues.  Will has graciously offered to loan us CanSec's a/v equipment
(2 projectors, audio equipt for 1, possibly 2 tracks) and networking
gear (lots).  

Still todo: 
1.) Decide on venue and possible alterate venue.
2.) Look into hotels and dorm/hostel space (of course this will be
determined by the venue location).
3.) Sort out things like chairs, dividers, catering, if not provided by
the venue.
4.) Feel out sponsorship possibilities. 

I propose the following: anyone who is seriously interested in helping
plan this join me Monday night (Oct 3rd) at Trees, and we can sort out
who's going to do what, then we will reconvene the following Monday (Oct
10th) to pick the best possible solutions (and alternatives) and write
up the proposal.
