From: Michel J Lambert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2001 03:01:16 -0500 (EST) Subject: YAPC Conference Proposal To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> cc: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hey guys, I'm a member of the Bostom.pm perl monger's user group. We were throwing around the idea of trying to get this years YAPC::NA (Yet Another Perl Conference: North America) in Boston. Previous years had conferences at Carnegie Mellon and McGill Univ in Montreal. More info at http://www.yapc.org/America/index.shtml . Usually the YAPC's are hosted at a university because they can fulfill the requirements most easily: http://www.yapc.org/venue-reqs.txt Anyways, we were discussing where we could host YAPC in Boston, and I suggested MIT, for obvious reasons. I'm sure there are many people here at the institute favorable to perl, at SIPB and in the general population. Finding the support of professors favorable to the idea would be very useful, as would the support of a computing group like SIPB. What do you guys think about the feasibility of hosting it here at MIT? Thoughts and comments please? Thanks, Mike Lambert PS: This message is CC'ed to the boston.pm mailing list so as to contribute to the discussion going on there.
