The YAPC::Australia camel has started moving! It's early days yet but the wonderful Melbourne.pm have accepted the formidable challenge of organising the first ever YAPC in Oceania, hopefully to be held in Melbourne in late November or early December 2004.

A very early version of the Web site is up and running. It is far from finished and lots of changes are in progress and it may be broken when you look. But, hey, I love the camel logo! :-)

So if any Australian monks are listening, especially Melbournian ones, I suggest you start by joining the un-archived Melbourne.pm mailing list to keep up to date with latest developments and think about how you might be able to contribute. I'm lurking on this list from Sydney, wondering how Sydney.pm might be able to help.
