other YAPC::EUs I've checked have not been earlier in announcing the date
You were referring to YAPC::EU 2010, which by the time you made your post may not have finalized their dates -- at least it had communicated tentative dates. Dates that were at least already known beginning of December, when I talked to the organizers and they indicated they didn't plan to move the dates. Do also note that last years conference had the dates already mentioned in the proposal, and the dates were announced in Pisa. So, if I compare you to the previous two years, you rank third when it comes to having dates at the end of December.
comparing to YAPC::NA isn't fair.
My main point was that YAPC::NA has been communicating very well. Surely it isn't easier being in the US to update your blog, your website, or the conferences mailing list? You made a good start the first month after YAPC::EU 2011, with 5 posts. But then nothing for 3 months.
If you had already organized such an event, you would know that minimizing the fixed costs takes time.
What has that to do with my questions 1) when is the conference?, and 2) why are you invisible?
