I cannot speak for the SIPB, but having a little more information would probably help us in considering this. Is there a proposed set of dates for the 2002 YAPC::NA (assuming that's the one you meant)? Also, is there a schedule as to when various hosting decisions and accomodations would need to be made? How much support would you be expecting from the SIPB, or other hosts? Does YAPC have enough staff/volunteers to run the conference mostly on their own? What more would you need from the hosts beyond arranging the reservations for facilities, catering, etc.? Approximately how many participants are you expecting? (I've never been to a YAPC, but I'd be likely to attend if one were held in the Boston area.) Also, does boston.pm have a mailing list archive? + Richard J. Barbalace [EMAIL PROTECTED]
