(Hint: Don't bring a company-issued laptop on which you are forbidden to install software.) * A relative recent version of 'git'. (Some older versions of git can't deal with https. The Perl6 distribution is a bit too hard-wired for git.) * An IRC client, as we'll make use of irc.perl.org #tpm during the course of the meeting. Thank you very much.

There are many questions being asked, and I would like to take the time to address a few of them here. Where is the website? It did take us a bit longer to get off the ground than expected, but I???m happy to announce that the YAPC::NA::2016 website is up and running! You can find much of the content you???re looking for at http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/ . Where is YAPC::NA::2016 being held? This year we???re once again staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton, Orlando Downtown. The address for that is: DoubleTree By Hilton Orlando Downtown 60 S. Ivanhoe Boulevard Orlando, FL 32804 Keep in mind, this is the same venue as YAPC::NA::2014 More information can be found at: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/location.html Room availability: 6/17 - 6 rooms 6/18 - 48 rooms 6/19 - 165 rooms 6/20 - 165 rooms 6/21 - 160 rooms 6/22 - 130 rooms 6/23 - 30 rooms 6/24 - 10 rooms Special conference room rate: $119.00 To make a reservation: Reservations can be made online at: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=14545975 or by calling 407-425-4455, dialing Option #1 and giving Group Name: YAPC 2016, Code: 16Y All rooms must be booked by 5/18/16. No special rates or room availability is promised past the deadline. Parking options: Self-parking is $17 for overnight, or $12 for the day Valet is $20 for overnight, or $17 for the day You may also park on the street, but availability is very limited What are the ticket prices for YAPC::NA::2016? The standard ticket rate is $250. Ticket sales will be cut off with a maximum total capacity of 450 people. We did sell out last year, so we recommend buying your ticket early! The ticket rate increases the closer to YAPC we get, so BUY EARLY! Tickets will be available for purchase on March 1st. The standard ticket rate of $250 only lasts until June 4th. Beginning June 5th, the rate increases to $350. If ticket sales prior to June 5th hit capacity, no additional tickets will be offered. WHEN THEY???RE GONE, THEY???RE GONE! If there are any tickets remaining on June 5th, the total capacity may be reduced in addition to the rate rising to $350 per ticket. Please don???t wait to buy your ticket! Free or discounted passes will be available on a limited basis to the following categories of individuals: Speakers Students Active or retired military Volunteers Press Exhibitors More information regarding these discounts will be available on the website on March 1st: http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/ Will the talks be Live Streamed this year? This was a difficult decision for us. We know that many aren???t able to attend YAPC::NA but still want to see the talks. We love being able to help serve those members of our community as well as to promote our awesome language. We do not, however, want to do those things to the detriment of those who went to great expense to attend the conference in person. So, unlike recent years, we will not be live streaming all talks to our YouTube channel. A selection of talks may be streamed live, but which talks those are will not be decided until much closer to the event. Many of the remaining talks will be made available at a later point after the conclusion of YAPC, and some talks will not be streamed at all. The best way to enjoy everything YAPC has to offer is really to be in Orlando, FL during the week of June 19th. Can I give a talk at YAPC::NA::2016? Quite possibly, but you???ll need to hurry! The YAPC::NA::2016 Call for Speakers (http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/news/1390 ) was released February 8th, with submissions being accepted until March 1st. To submit a proposal for a talk/presentation, please register your proposed title and an abstract to the YAPC::NA site at http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/newtalk . Submissions are due before midnight (23:59 EST) on March 1st 2016. Speakers will be notified by the 16th of March. If your proposal is accepted you will be expected to confirm within 48 hours of your notification that you, in fact, will give the talk. If you do not confirm in the given time frame we may, at our discretion, assign your slot to another proposal. The Call for Master Classes (http://www.yapcna.org/yn2016/news/1391 ) was released February 10th, with submissions being accepted until all, limited, spaces are filled. We expect to announce some of those classes in the first week of March. Are you an experienced Perl instructor who would like to offer a course at YAPC::NA this year in Orlando? We want to offer the Perl community a selection of courses and tutorials before and after the conference. Master Classes can be a half day (3 hours), full day (6 hours) or 2 days in length and will run on Sunday 19th, Thursday 23rd, or Friday 24th of June. Thank you all for your continued patience with this process. We look forward to seeing you in Orlando! I have more questions! Send any questions about YAPC to admin at yapcna.org . Somebody on our organizing team will be happy to get back to you. On behalf of the entire YAPC::NA organizing team, we hope you are as excited about this event as we are. We can???t wait to see you in Florida this June!
