> Hi Mongers --

> We're gearing up for it again.  YAPC::America::North 19100 is in the
> works,
> and interest has been mounting in other YAPCs: Europe and Australia,
> with
> some rumour of Asia also.  Here is the Call for Participation for the 
> North American YAPC this year; it'll be 3 days long this time, but
> still
> grassroots.  We'll have to cut off registration at about 500 people
> this
> time, which is almost double last year's number.  I'd like to see
> Mongers
> get in early.  The registration page should be up in a few weeks.

> Yet Another Perl Conference (YAPC) is an inexpensive ($75) perl 
> users and developers conference, with a mix of tutorials and 
> technical talks.  The conference is set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 
> and so is relatively accessible from both the East and the Midwest.
> 
> YAPC began as a grassroots users conference, from discussions 
> among Perl Mongers, and has grown from there.  We would like
> to invite you to join us for two days of Perl, people, and 
> demonstrations, at a price that shouldn't hurt your wallet.  
> There will be a limit of just under 500 people for the conference.
> 
> A number of members of the Perl community are contributing to this
> event, including:
> 
>    Larry Wall, Abigail, Damian Conway, Mark-Jason Dominus, 
>    Joseph Hall, purl, Randal Schwartz, ...
> 
>     ... and YOU!  See the CALL FOR PAPERS below!

> ** Dorm rooms **
> 
> A limited number of inexpensive dorm rooms are available at 
> Carnegie Mellon, that will be given preferentially to students, 
> but more generally on a first-come basis.  This is to further
> reduce the cost for those with limited resources, especially 
> students, who we are trying to encourage the most.  More 
> information will become available when registration begins.
