----- Forwarded message from Road Trip to YAPC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- Date: Fri, 25 May 2001 17:27:04 -0400 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] From: Road Trip to YAPC <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: The Road Trip to YAPC::America::North, it is almost upon us The drive to YAPC is almost upon us so it is time to start worrying about the details. At this point we have 16 people signed up for the road trip (DC = 3, Philly = 4, NY = 5, Albany = 1, and Boston = 3). Some deadlines to remember... May 28 - Last day dorm availability and the $40 rate are guaranteed May 29 - Last day for 14-day airline tickets May 31 - Last day to submit a lightning talk June 1 - Day to reserve the van(s)? So if you have procrastinated about signing up for the conference, dorms, or the road trip, now would be a very good time to do something about it. We have about a week until we will need to reserve the van(s) so if you will be joining us please sign up soon. The road-trip mailing list will be used to discuss details about the trip so this should be the last time you are annoyed with this message. Below this point is the original announcement from May 2... YAPC::America::North (http://www.yapc.org/America) will be in Montreal June 13-15. And for the third year PHILLY.pm and NY.pm are planning a road trip. A survey can be found at http://JustAnotherPerlHacker.org/cgi-local/yapc/survey.pl. If you will be going to YAPC and passing through Albany or starting in New England, please complete this form so we can coordinate travel arrangements. You will still need to arrange for a place to stay and go to the YAPC registration page (http://na-register.yapc.org) to sign up for the conference. If you want to be in the dorm they strongly suggest you sign up by May 28. The final details, like how many cars we have, where we will meet, and how much it will cost will be worked out in early June. But if you budget $75 you will be able to afford a seat. One plan under consideration is to rent one or more 15 seat full size vans for the week. Including gas and mileage, it is possible to rent one for $900 in Philadelphia. It is believed that it will cost more in New York, so we may arrange for vans to be rented further south and pick up NY.pm. Question 2 asks about your age because renting the van will cost extra if we allow drivers under 25. A new mailing list "pm-road-trips" has been set up to discuss the plan. To sign up go to http://vorpal.jabberwock.org/mailman/listinfo/pm-road-trips or send email mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]. Thank you for considering making your YAPC experience a little longer and spending some time on the road with other Perl Mongers. R.
