Hello everyone...
I'm Richard, and I'm currently a very busy guy working on the bid to
bring YAPC::NA 2005 -- http://yapc.org/ -- to Toronto, as a production
of the Toronto Perl Mongers with the support of other local Monger groups.
The 2005 bid is a near-copy of the 2004 bid (with a few special extras
that can be announced when the bid goes out -- it's good stuff :-) ),
which includes a Conference Team page. Last year a few KW-PMers
volunteered to put themselves on this list, and I've come around again
to ask if there might be some who could help out with this again. The
Conference Team page is meant to give The Perl Foundation (the body that
grants the YAPC conference) an idea of the amount of local support the
conference is going to receive, as YAPC is an all-volunteer effort. By
signing up for this list you don't automatically commit yourself to an
infinite amount of work. Work is apportioned on an ah-hoc task by task
basis. (I.e if you can't/don't want to do something, just keep your
head down.) Some work items can appear in the months leading up to
YAPC, which will be held next June. Helpers are also very handy to have
for the conference itself, which is 3 days long, either a Mon-Wed or
Wed-Fri some time in the last 1/2 of June 2005.
Here's what I have right now:

For anyone who would like to get in touch with me about this to have
themselves added to the list please get in touch with me with a text
blurb description of yourself. If you are there as an artifact of
copying the 2004 bid and don't want to be anymore, let me know and I'll
remove you. If you're there and want a text blurb added for yourself,
let me know and I can do this too. The bid has to be handed in on
Tuesday so I would need to hear from you no later than Tuesday morning
with your info.
Thanks & cheers,
- Richard
