Subject: YAPC::Canada - May 15 and 16, 2003 in Ottawa - http://www.yapc.ca/

Hello,

We'd like to announce the call for proposals for YAPC::Canada, scheduled
for mid-May 2003 in Ottawa.  I'm writing to you particularly because your
.pm group is within a day's drive of Ottawa; one of the main reasons we're
holding YAPC::Canada is to support the perl folk who can't afford to fly
to Florida this July.  

It being January in the *cold* northeast, please put out of your mind any
thoughts of snow when you're there.  Typical temperatures are more or less
the same as Boston in mid-May; perhaps even warmer.  Think spring, think
tulips...

The conference will be ~75 people; there will be wireless network; we are
still seeking a Keynote speaker (any volunteers or leads, please email
help@yapc.ca)

Forthwith is the official announcement:

---

YAPC::Canada (Yet Another Perl Conference) is a low-cost  1 1/2 day
conference with its roots in the Perl Mongers groups. YAPC::Canada

swing at this time. Great for spouses while you're at YAPC::Canada!
