Subject: [sf-perl] YAPC::NA CFP closes this Saturday!
Message-ID: <52FC6643.6020407@vmbrasseur.com>

Great Googly Moogly!

Have you submitted a talk proposal to YAPC::NA yet? If not, now's the 
time! The CFP closes this Saturday!

Don't have a talk idea but want to submit a proposal? Post here! We'll 
help you figure out a topic!

Have an idea but don't think it's good enough? Propose it anyway! It's 
probably a pretty great idea! You are, after all, your worst critic.

Want help with your proposal? Post here! We'll help you out! There are a 
lot of helpful, experienced speakers on the list.

Let's get cracking on those proposals and try to get some SF.pm 
representation in the 2014 YAPC::NA speakers list.

In related news, the YAPC::NA organizers would like it to be known that 
proposals from first-time speakers are particularly welcome.

Need help? Ping here! Or write me directly if you don't wish to reply to 
the entire list.

Hi again - here are the results at last. Let me know if you find any
of it surprising and I'll re-think the survey questions for next
time:)
