[tex@engsoc.org: Re: YAPC::Canada - Ottawa - May 14, 15 and 16]

[Walt Mankowski <waltman@pobox.com>]

Is anyone planning on going to this?  Unless I suddenly find a job in
the next week or so I'm thinking I might just drive up.

BTW I *think* the training class might be $250 Canadian, since Clayton
didn't change it between the two emails he sent.  If I get some
clarification I'll forward it.  Note that the Canadian dollar is worth
about 70 US cents these days.

Apologies for the second mailing. I have included the prices in the US 
Dollar amount  rather than Canadian Dollars in this version.

Thanks,
Clayton Scott, YAPC::Canada



Dear Perl Monger President,

This mailing is targeted to PM groups in the North Eastern United States  
within a 10 hour drive of Ottawa. If I have mis-calculated the distance 
I apologise in advance.

I'm writing to remind you about YAPC::Canada coming up in May 14, 15 and 
16.
Could you please foward this announcement to your PM group list?

Please consider this a belated invitation to YAPC::Canada. Due to the 
lateness of
this invitation I understand if you can't make it this year but 
please start preparing to attend next year as we'll be in the same 
location.

Talk and Registration info is below.

Thanks,
Clayton Scott
