With YAPC::NA::2003 over, it's time to get ready for YAPC::NA::2004, and that means it's time to throw open the call for venues for next year's YAPC.

You can get details on what YAPCs entail in both YAPC.pm, on CPAN, and at http://www.yapc.org/venue-reqs.txt. When making your proposal, in addition to venue information and dates, do please make sure to include details on airport locations, local public transit (as well as transit to the venue from the airport!), local cultural attractions, and accommodation information. (See the docs for more details) The more information you provide, within reason, the better.

Send the proposals to yapc-venues@yetanother.org. Proposals are due by Friday, August 1st 2003, with a decision due two weeks later on August 15th 2003. (If the summertime vacation blahs catch everyone out we may extend the deadline. Don't count on that) This gives about 7 weeks, which is short but manageable, and should still fit within most college and university scheduling requirements.

Re: YAPC::NA::2004 Call for Venue

    Hi, when is YAPC in 2004? Is it mid-june again? I couldn't find the date on the yapc website. Thanks.

      We have no date as yet--the dates are part of the venue proposals, so each group that submits gets to say when they can hold it.

        Cool. Nice to see that flexibility.

    Will incoming proposals be available for perusal on the website?

    Uh, oh, http://www.yapc.org/America/previous-years/19100/ <- funny ;)(embaressing?)

    Hmm, a YAPC in California? Anyone?

      To quote from the page you linked to:

      Yes we know

      If you got this far, you probably already know the 19100 is a joke. Y2K really was uneventful, wasn't it?

      So no, it wasn't embarrassing. You didn't think we were that absent-minded, did you ;-)

      This is an excellent idea. Could someone shed some light on the current decision process and which parts are publically disclosed?

[reply]
        The venue committee membership will be public, as will the archives of the venue discussion list. At least parts of the proposals, the dates and places, will be made public. I'm not sure if the entire proposals will--if nothing else there'll have to be some redaction, as there'll likely be venue contact names, phone numbers, and email addresses in them, and I'm not comfortable making that public on the web without the permission of the people involved.
