YAPC Location Announced
paulywog writes: "It hasn't been posted to the YAPC website yet, but the announcement was on usePerl this weekend. The site for the YAPC 2002 will be my alma mater, Washington University in St. Louis. Goofy name for a school in eastern Missouri, I know, but it's a great place for conferences. ... So, if you're in the St. Louis area and are a PERL fanatic, watch for upcoming information on yapc.org or the St. Louis Perl Monger's site." See also the Yet Another Society site. -

By the way, have you checked out whether there's a Perl Monger chapter in your part of the world? " -
