I'd like to take a moment to announce the two classes we'll have at YAPC::NA this year. The first is given by Jacinta Richardson, and the second by Dave Rolsky. Starting off correctly (CPAN, modules and testing) This course covers using and creating modules for your code. This course assumes you are familiar with basic Perl syntax, subroutines and conditionals. You will learn: * about CPAN and how to install CPAN modules both in system directories and locally; * how to write and use Perl modules and packages; * how to use Module::Starter to start your modules off on the right foot; * how to test your modules with Test::More; * about coverage testing and how to improve your tests' coverage; * about using Perl::Critic to evaluate and improve your module code. This is a hands on course where you will be writing a module from scratch, using Module::Starter and writing tests. Attendees are requested to bring a laptop with Perl installed for the full day. More information available at http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/talk/3474 . Introduction to Moose Join us for an interactive hands-on course all about Moose, an OO system for Perl 5 that provides a simple declarative layer of "sugar" on top of a powerful, extensible meta-model. With Moose, simple classes can be created without writing any subroutines, and complex classes can be simplified. Moose's features include a powerful attribute declaration system, type constraints and coercions, method modifiers ("before", "after", and "around"), a role system (like mixins on steroids), and more. Moose also has a vibrant ecosystem of extensions as seen in the variety of MooseX:: modules on CPAN. This course will cover Moose's core features, dip a toe into the meta-model, and explore some of the more powerful MooseX:: modules available on CPAN. Students are expected to bring a laptop, as you will be writing code during the class. You will also be provided with a tarball a week or so before the class is scheduled, which will contain a directory tree skeleton and test files. More information available at http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/talk/3473 . In addition, our pricing will increase to the late registration fee of 150 USD on 2011-06-12 23:59:59 EST5EDT. So if you're planning on attending, register now! -- Thanks and best regards, Chris Nehren From drew at drewtaylor.com Tue Jun 7 14:11:15 2011 From: drew at drewtaylor.com (Drew Taylor) Date: Tue, 7 Jun 2011 22:11:15 +0100 Subject: [yapc] Attendee spouses/families In-Reply-To: References: <20110607151128.07dedfa2.lembark_wrkhors.com@wrkhors.com> Message-ID: I won't be in Asheville, but when I was last at Biltmore (about 20 years ago) it was a fascinating place.

Searching through my memory banks, I recall: Buffet in Boca Raton Buffalo wings at the Anchor Bar in the eponymous city Chinese on Spadina Ave in Toronto Goose Island brewpub in Chicago Barbecue in Houston [something else] in Chicago Ethiopian in Pittsburgh Bar with stand-up food in Columbus (Corrections welcome. Did we do this prior to 2003?) Also, in past years there has usually been an Anti-Arrivals Dinner attended by the vegetarians, vegans, and other non-carnivorous folk.

The LAB, Jack of Green (which serves vegan food) and a few other places in town could probably accomodate that many people. How formal are people looking for here? I'm under the impression that they're fairly informal affairs. I can have an organizer call up a place or two and warn them that people may be attending. -Chris From n at atemoya.net Wed Jun 15 17:53:06 2011 From: n at atemoya.net (Nick Patch) Date: Wed, 15 Jun 2011 20:53:06 -0400 Subject: [yapc] Pre-conference dinner, Sunday June 26 In-Reply-To: <4DF949D6.1070205@verizon.net> References: <4DF949D6.1070205@verizon.net> Message-ID: On Wed, Jun 15, 2011 at 8:09 PM, James E Keenan wrote: > Ethiopian in Pittsburgh That was the Anti-Arrival Dinner :) > Also, in past years there has usually been an Anti-Arrivals Dinner attended > by the vegetarians, vegans, and other non-carnivorous folk. Regardless of diet, some folks just come because they prefer dinner with twenty people to dinner with eighty, but it does tend to be more veg-friendly.

Based on our past experiences, I have placed links to two brewpubs, Lexington Ave Brewery and Green Man Brewery on this wiki page: http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/wiki?node=ArrivalDinner You can also sign up to participate on that page, while you can sign up for Anti-Arrivals here: http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/wiki?node=AntiArrivalDinner (Jack of Green described itself as "cozy," which probably means it's too small for our purposes.

I'm the instigator of the Anti-Arrival Dinner, and it boiled down to not wanting Goose Island fare, but in the end I bailed on the leaf-eaters and went to the Goose place to hang out with folks from IRC.

I'm happy to pay for that. There were several people on this thread who were wanting to add a plus one. I hadn't yet finalized the catering with the hotel so I didn't know what the costs were going to be. I've gotten much better estimate from the hotel (still waiting to hear back from the hotel about some of the alternative food choices for those who have alternative dietary lifestyles), so I've gone ahead and added an option to the conference site to purchase a Plus One ticket. I need to have the final count by next Wednesday when I have to turn them into the hotel catering, so please register soon so I don't have to fret and lose *more* hair. -Chris From jay.hannah at iinteractive.com Mon Jun 20 08:04:53 2011 From: jay.hannah at iinteractive.com (Jay Hannah) Date: Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:04:53 -0500 Subject: [yapc] Anyone in town Friday June 24?

It?s a bustling working brewery, with a clattering bottling line and huge tanks filled with ale. Highland now has a tasting room to welcome visitors. Highland Brewing is best known for its flagship Gaelic Ale (a malty amber brew) and the robust Oatmeal Porter. It?s located at 12 Old Charlotte Highway at the Blue Ridge Motion Pictures studios. 828-299-7223. Tasting room open Thursdays and Fridays. Green Man Brewing: Known here by its nickname, Dirty Jack?s, Green Man has become a beer geek?s haven, with a small bar and a handful of tables. A big-screen TV is constantly playing international soccer matches. Most of the brews have a British vibe, such as pale ale. And be sure to ask for today?s cask-conditioned selection. It?s located at 23 Buxton Ave. 828-252-5502. Asheville Pizza and Brewing and Asheville Brewing Company: These sister operations share the same lineups of house brews and food (pizza, burgers, sandwiches, etc.) But each has its own style. Asheville Pizza and Brewing features a second-run movie theater, game room and family atmosphere while Asheville Brewing includes a big patio, a liquor bar and a more adult theme. Flagship beers are Shiva IPA and Ninja Porter. Asheville Pizza and Brewing is located at 675 Merrimon Ave. 828-254-1281. Asheville Brewing Company is at 77 Coxe Ave. 828-255-4077. French Broad Brewing Company: This little brew-house, located near Biltmore Village, combines a working microbrewery with a small tasting room featuring live music. Musicians play on a stage just a few feet from the brewing tanks, while visitors watch from a handful of small tables. Trains frequently roll by on nearby tracks. The music is free, but be sure to leave a tip for the players. The beers have a European edge such as the creamy Gateway Kolsch and 13 Rebels Extra Special Bitter. It?s located at 101 Fairview Road. 828-277-0222. Pisgah Brewing Company: Take the movie ?Weird Science,? combined it with beer, and that?s the scene at Pisgah, where almost any style goes. The operation includes a colorful tasting room and complex that includes live music, art gallery, game room, a big grassy back yard, and working brewery. All beers are certified organic. It?s about 20 minutes from downtown and well worth the drive. Flagship beers include Pisgah Pale and Endless Summer golden ale. It?s located at Eastside Business Park, on old U.S. 70, Black Mountain. 828-669-0190. Wedge Brewing Company: Based in an old warehouse in Asheville?s French Broad River Arts District, the Wedge squeezes much use from a small space. Most of the room is occupied by brewing tanks, but there?s also a bar and tasting room. Many visitors take a seat on the old loading dock outside or at an inviting patio. Asheville?s railroad yard is just a few feet away, and trains often rumble by, adding to the ambiance. Flagship beers include Payne?s Pale and the mysterious (and powerful) Golem Belgian Ale. It?s located at 125-B Roberts St. 828-505-7292. OysterHouse Brewing: Asheville?s smallest brewery, it?s tucked inside the Lobster Trap restaurant on busy Patton Avenue. This is primarily a restaurant, so seafood lovers should grab something to eat (there?s an impressive selection of oysters, which match up well with the house beers). The flagship brew is Oyster Stout. Yes, oysters are used in the brewing, leaving behind a slightly salty taste. Live music is offered several nights a week. Located at 35 Patton Ave. 828-350-0505. Craggie Brewing Company: Craggie is a brewery with a heart, which is evident from the causes it supports, the vendors it does business with, and the way it inspires giving. Craggie sells beer with a conscience ? organic in craft and whenever possible, brewed with local ingredients. From building the brewhouse with as much reclaimed or recycled equipment as possible, to discounting Willibechers for those who choose to donate to select non-profits, Craggie Brewing?s Public House is a place where the community can gather to have a good time while doing good for others. Located at 197 Hilliard Ave. 828-254-0360. Lexington Avenue Brewery: The Lexington Avenue Brewery combines all the ingredients of a rockin? good time. In addition to beer that exceeds Asheville?s rigorous standards, the LAB also features an extensive food menu, a live music venue, and a hostel upstairs. For the perfect blend of fun and affordability and even the option of a cozy bed to sleep in, the LAB has got it all. Located at 39 N Lexington Ave. 828-252-0212. And the Thirsty Monk is a great pub that deserves a visit, it is located downtown.

Looking at their gallery and at the list of people that have signed up for the arrival dinner, I don't think it would be too small. I am also of the opinion that in a pub venue, the musicians are probably used to a loud audience. :-) Given all that, I've added it to the possibilities listed on the wiki page for the arrival dinner. Doesn't mean we have to go there, but it's yet another option. In the meantime, it's now the Friday before the conference and there doesn't seem to have been a decision made on what to do about the dinner. Is anyone interested in going to the dinner going to be in Asheville today or tomorrow who might want to go give the options a once-over to see if any of them look better or worse than the others? If so, maybe that would sway us one way or the other. Anyway, I'm going to be arriving mid-afternoon on sunday, so I look forward to seeing you all and getting something to eat. :-) dha -- David H.

I arrived in Asheville yesterday and was able to go by the Lexington Avenue Brewery ("the LAB"), the first site listed on the wiki page (http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/wiki?node=ArrivalDinner). I spoke with staff there about whether they would be able to accommodate a sudden influx of YAPCite and Perlmongers Sunday at or after 6:00 pm. They said they would. They said that if we could call ahead with a count a little while before we arrive, they could devise good seating arrangements. I would therefore like to recommend that we make Lexington Avenue Brewery our default choice for the Arrivals Dinner. By saying "default choice," I'm simply saying: Some of us are definitely going there; everyone else is welcome to join us. Since this isn't an official part of the conference, you're welcome to dine and drink wherever you like. Downtown Asheville (which is where the LAB is though, not where the hotel is), has many dining and drinking options. And, according to LAB staff, downtown Asheville is "mellow" on Sundays and hence most places would welcome your business. Lexington Avenue Brewery 39 Lexington Ave, Asheville NC 28801 828.252.0212 http://www.lexavebrew.com/ Menu: http://www.lexavebrew.com/pdf/LAB_Menu.pdf?v=6 Driving directions from Crowne Plaza: http://tinyurl.com/6533pkx 1. Assuming you want to join us at the LAB, please enter your name on the wiki page (above) so we can get an approximate head count. 2. Assemble at the front door on the Crowne Plaza starting at 5:30 pm so we can begin matching people with cars or taxis. 3. If you have a car and can take people along on the six-minute drive to the LAB, please do so. (Of course, that makes you the "designated driver.") 4. We'll aim to have our first arrivals at the LAB by 6:00 pm. My guess is that there will be people there at least to 9:00 pm, so if you don't arrive at the hotel until after 6:00, you still have time to get over to the LAB and join us. 5. Recommend bringing cash to make it easier to split cab fares and dinner tabs. 6. Not interested in brew and bar food? There's always the Anti-Arrivals Dinner option. http://www.yapc2011.us/yn2011/wiki?node=AntiArrivalDinner. Hope to see you starting at 5:30 pm tomorrow. Thank you very much.

I have to leave early on Wednesday, so I looked into this a little. The local taxis and shuttles seem to charge $40 for a ride to the airport, so the $30 charged by the hotel is the best we're likely to do unless we share rides. - Perrin From wolfsage at gmail.com Mon Jun 27 05:05:12 2011 From: wolfsage at gmail.com (Matthew Horsfall) Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2011 08:05:12 -0400 Subject: [yapc] Early registration today 16:30 In-Reply-To: <68CDCB6F-C18B-4650-AA2E-BEB85A72A726@shadowcat.co.uk> References: <68CDCB6F-C18B-4650-AA2E-BEB85A72A726@shadowcat.co.uk> Message-ID: Lanyards are now available! -- Matthew Horsfall (alh) On Sun, Jun 26, 2011 at 4:27 PM, Chris Nehren wrote: > The registration is in the swananoa room. > > On Jun 26, 2011, at 16:17, fREW Schmidt wrote: > > When and where is regular registration? > On Jun 26, 2011 3:58 PM, "Chris Nehren" > yapc at shadowcat.co.uk> wrote: > > Hi, all.

Message-ID: <34F8187D-C081-4576-B012-21CFB3A7D68A@dwright.org> Hello, This year, YAPC::NA acquired 4 projectors for our event. But, now that the event is over, we have no use for them. Therefore, we are opening the projectors up for silent bid. The projectors are being offered in their current condition, without warranty or guarantee. 3 of the projectors are in working order. 1 projector is known to have a non-functional bulb. The minimum bid for the 3 working projectors is $300 each. The minimum bid for the projector with the bad bulb is $100. Successful bidders will be required to make payment and take the projectors with them at the conclusion of the conference. You may pay by cash, check, or credit card. Again, this is a silent bid. Please e-mail your bid directly to me prior to the conclusion of the lightning talks. As I receive them, I will respond to acknowledge I have received your bids. I will announce the winning bids at the conclusion of the conference. You may bid on only one or more than one projector, and you may increase your bid, if you wish. Thanks, -Dan Daniel J.
