Some of the great authors and coders in the field will be on hand to discuss their work, as well as the nature and direction of Perl itself. Please join us for three days of listening and talking about Perl in Montreal. * Conference registration will be available by Feb. 1, 2001 at http://na-register.yapc.org/ * Dorm rooms will be available at the University (rates TBA); the dorm request information will be on the website and registration form. Registration Cost: CAD$125 (about USD$85) * We are looking for sponsors. Please contact Kevin Lenzo (lenzo@yapc.org) for information about how you can help support the Yet Another society and YAPC. Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors. * Submitted papers: Submission Deadline: May 1, 2001 All topics are welcome. Here is a short list of subjects that might be presented: XML, CGI/Web, Interprocess Communication, GUIs (GTk, Tk), Natural Language Processing, Interactive Perl, Agents, Perl as Glue, Object-Oriented Perl, Scientific Applications, Guts, Internals, JAPHs, Perl Poetry, System Administration, DBI/DBD, Non-UNIX Perl, Security, Peer-to-Peer Communication, Your Favourite Topic. Please submit your abstracts to . Authors are requested to limit their abstracts to one or two paragraphs for Lightning Talks, and to 300 words for other talks. This year we will accept a number of types of talks: * Lightning: 5 minutes The lightning talks were instigated by Mark-Jason Dominus last year in Pittsburgh, and were replicated with great success at the European YAPC in London. Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use of conventional transparencies. Any use of data projector, etc, is discouraged, but allowed as long as the five minute time limit is maintained (set-up will be done as the clock ticks). The talk ends at the five-minute mark, regardless of whether or not the speaker has finished. Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous. Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers. * Standard: 20 minutes A 'standard' talk is the preferred format. This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation. * Long and Extra-Long: 45 minutes, 90 minutes Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a Long or Extra-Long talk may be the format of choice. * Tutorial: 3 hours + break (possibly in two sets) Half-day (or possibly full-day) tutorials. Please submit your abstracts to ! -- Yet Another Society is a non-profit organization for the advancement of collaborative efforts in computer and information sciences.

First, the venue and Call for Patricipation have been announced for YAPC 2001, which will be held in Montreal this year. See http://www.yapc.org/America/ for complete details and breaking news. Second, in case you hadn't seen it yet, Damian Conway has started the Conway Channel, a web site which will report on his year of working on Perl. As you may recall, Damian received a grant from Yet Another Society to take a year off from teaching and do nothing but write Perl modules and travel around and give talks. (If you contributed, thank you again, and note that YAS recently received 501(3)(c) status, so your contribution may be tax-deductible.) The Conway Channel is available at: http://yetanother.org/damian/ Finally, I got the following message from Jon Orwant, editor of the Perl Journal: January 2, 2001 Some folks have been asking me about the status of The Perl Journal #20, and prospective authors have been asking me about deadlines for future issues. The answers: TPJ #20 is in press and ready to print, but EarthWeb (the owner of TPJ) has told the printer to stop the presses until further notice. I am currently responding to proposals sent to me with approximately "I don't know if there's going to be another issue, but when I do I'll respond to your proposal." Since the future of the magazine is in doubt, I can't in good conscience greenlight proposals; I will not encourage an author to spend weeks writing an article when I know that it might never be printed. So I've told people who've asked what I know about the current situation: while EarthWeb has sold many of its properties to internet.com so that it can focus on "career services", it has not sold TPJ. However, EarthWeb has also made it clear that they don't want to publish TPJ any more. This story has started to leak out to the Perl community and has already mutated a bit in not-quite-correct directions, so I wanted to write this note to set the record straight. Or as straight as I can, given what little I know about EarthWeb's decisions. While TPJ's future is very much up in the air, people shouldn't take this as any indicator about Perl itself. TPJ was doing just fine back when I ran it, there's no shortage of content out there, and the magazine could easily go bimonthly and then monthly -- indeed, when EarthWeb acquired TPJ I had thought that was the plan. I still enjoy the editing, the authors enjoy the writing, and the designers enjoy the designing. What happens now is up to EarthWeb. And no, I'm not suggesting that people bombard them with email. Heck, they just laid off 100 people, so I'm not even sure who to bombard. Eventually there will be some resolution, and when there is I'll write again to let everyone know. As of December 27th, this matter is now in the courts, and so I have to adopt the "just the facts" tone of this letter without portraying my opinions. Someday I'll be able to talk more about what is happening in these strange days; until then, you'll have to conjure up your own adjectives on my behalf. Cheers, Jon Orwant * What's New on the Site?

I ran up the stairs and got my first earful of RealAudio streaming over the web," says Josh Beggs, coauthor of the newest O'Reilly release, "Designing Web Audio." "As artists and producers we knew it was going to be revolutionary. Here we were in start-up mode doing business on a shoestring dreaming about how we were going to pay for CD's and packaging to publish our music... and even more daunting find an audience... then kaboom... streaming audio over the Internet... It was like we had just been handed the keys to a global satellite broadcasting center. It was an epiphany moment." Beggs' book, "Designing Web Audio" (O'Reilly, $34.95), explains how digital audio is encoded from microphone to hard disk; how sound is processed using compression and equalization; and how to turn audio source material into a great soundtrack using loops and ambient soundscapes. "Designing Web Audio" demystifies its subject with informative step-by-step techniques for encoding, compression, and streaming audio over the Web. "I especially wanted to make sure the new techno tribe of digerati and programmer heads had the benefit of understanding the connection between sound and music and human interaction with technology and emotions," says Beggs. "Audio is such a compelling part of our lives and of how we define ourselves as humans belonging to a specific culture. Specifically, audio plays a huge role in making media more real and lifelike, especially our movie watching experience. Someday soon audio will enjoy a similar role on the web." The easy-to-follow, step-by-step instructions on using the leading audio formats will make "Designing Web Audio" an invaluable resource for Web developers and individuals who want to stream their own music over the Web. "'Designing Web Audio' looks to the future when audio becomes a more integral part of the web not just a file format to be stored on a server and downloaded," explains Beggs. "Our book is written for the next era when surfing the web becomes much more like watching a movie. 'Designing Web Audio' is the only book written for the upcoming web golden age of rich media content." "Designing Web Audio" is the most complete Internet audio guide on the market. It's loaded with informative real-world case studies and interviews with some of the world's leading audio and web producers. It using the most popular web audio formats. This book also includes a wealth of basic digital audio and sound wave theory, practical tips and techniques for recording and editing audio for the Web, and an invaluable buyer's guide to building an effective sound studio.
