From jeremy at msc.tamu.edu Tue Oct 31 09:36:16 2006 From: jeremy at msc.tamu.edu (Jeremy Fluhmann) Date: Tue, 31 Oct 2006 11:36:16 -0600 Subject: [Yapc-na-organizers] keynote speaker request etiquette Message-ID: <0EFEDF9D507FF6409CE7B4D24B20E7BF0120D5F9@xchng.msc.tamu.edu> Hello everyone, Long time no update! I'm about to try and nail down the keynote speakers and want to know if there is any certain etiquette about it. I'll be contacting Larry (via Gloria) and Damian for sure. I know that Bill is on this list and he did a keynote in Chicago, giving an update on TPF. I'm pretty sure that we'll want to do it again for 2007, so Bill, if you have a preference for how you'd like to be asked, let me know ;-) Just to give everyone an idea of what some of some of the current todo items we're working on include: - Working on arrangements for possible 'Master classes' like YAPC::NA::2006 - yapc website creation/modification with ACT (A Conference Toolkit) - Sponsorship (contacts, benefits, documents, etc) - "logo" for YAPC::NA::2007 - catering menu for snacks and such (research previously suggested 'provide snacks ourselves') - Hotel and travel discounts - Compilation of 'social' resources (restaurants, attractions, transportation around Houston, etc) - Etc, etc, etc Thanks, Jeremy Jeremy Fluhmann Programmer/Analyst Memorial Student Center Texas A&M University 979-845-8893 jeremy at msc.tamu.edu This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential.

Thanks for asking! Bill P.S. - This time I promise to wear a watch.
