Subject: YAPC::NA Second Call For Participation
Fourth North American YAPC: Second Call for Participation
Yet Another Society
calls for your participation in
YAPC 2002
the Fourth North American
Yet Another Perl Conference
http://yapc.org/America/
Washington University,
Saint Louis, Missouri
Wednesday through Friday
June 26-28, 2002
YAPC is a place for people to meet and talk about Perl -- where people
who've done interesting things, people who are working on the language
itself, people who are using it daily, and people who are looking to
learn about it are all within arm's reach. Some of the great authors
and coders in the field will be on hand to discuss their work, as well
as the nature and direction of Perl itself. All three Perl Development
Grant recipients will be present: Larry Wall, Damian Conway, and Dan
Sugalski as well as Nathan Torkington, Mark-Jason Dominus, and Abigail.
Come and meet the people who develop and develop with Perl.
Please join us for three days of listening and talking about Perl in
Saint Louis.
* Conference registration is NOW OPEN at:
http://na-register.yapc.org/
Conference registration cost: USD$85
* Dorm rooms are available!!! They are $USD25 per person for a double
room and $50 for a single. Rooms are air conditioned and will have
net access. The dorm rooms are not on the Washington University campus
but shuttles will be running. Online dorm registration is not yet
available, but you can email sarah+yapcdorms-at-pound.perl.org with the

* We are looking for sponsors. Please contact Kevin Lenzo

Submission Deadline: May 1, 2002
All topics are welcome. Here is a short list of subjects that might

Please submit your abstracts to . See Lightning
Talk submission instructions below. For all other talks, authors
are requested to limit their abstracts to 300 words.
This year we will accept a number of types of talks:
* Lightning: 5 minutes
The lightning talks were instigated by Mark-Jason Dominus two
years ago in Pittsburgh, and were replicated with great success
at the European YAPC in London.
Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use
of conventional transparencies. Any use of data projector, etc,
is discouraged, but allowed as long as the five minute time limit
is maintained (set-up will be done as the clock ticks). The talk
ends at the five-minute mark, regardless of whether or not the
speaker has finished.
Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous.
Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers.
Please send your talk title, and an abstract of one to four
sentences, to:
mjd-yapc-lt-2002+-at-plover.com
The deadline for submissions is the end of Wednesday, June 5, 2002.
Submitters will be notified of acceptance by Sunday, June 15.
Visit http://perl.plover.com/lt/yapc2002.html for more details.
* Standard: 20 minutes
A 'standard' talk is the preferred format. This is enough time
to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open
up to later conversation.
* Long and Extra-Long: 45 minutes, 90 minutes
Long talks are reserved for experienced speakers covering large
topics. If you have an in-depth topic you would like to present
in some detail, perhaps with considerable discussion, a Long or
Extra-Long talk may be the format of choice.
* Tutorial: 3 hours + break (possibly in two sets)
Half-day (or possibly full-day) tutorials.
Please submit your abstracts to !
