While I agree with the last point, I have to say I really treasure the
printed proceedings I have from the last 3 YAPC::NAs.  Call me old
fashioned, but I still absorb new information better in printed form.

It should be noted that YAPC::Canada (Ottawa, May) requested that
contributors submit their presentations in PDF format and then distributed
same on CD-ROMs to all attendees.  If you absolutely cannot print the
proceedings, please consider that format.  Thanks.
