Yet Another Perl Conference: North America
Anonymous Coward writes "Registration for YAPC::NA is in process. It will be held in Boca Raton, FL June 16-18. YAPC is a low-cost ($85USD) conference, but still has high quality speakers and topics. Although submissions for talks is still going on (ends March 15), many terrific ones are already in the queue. Register today!"
This story has really began some good 'ol conversation of dupe vs !dupe.

Go canucks, habs, and sens!
The entire point of the Yet another Perl conferences is that they are aimed at people like the average slashdot user, with them being priced at 85 dollars. You don't have to be someone in a tech corporation , that has thousands of dollars to send their employees to conferences, to be able to go here. It's a full conference at lowered prices
The entire point is trying to bring Perl to the masses and get as many people together as possible from all uses of perl or even possibly using perl, to sit and talk about perl, with money not being a limit, a real community conference. They also has the ability for you as a user to give up and give your own small 5-mintue talk on Perl if you have expertise/experience on any particular part of it. This is the way to do conferences in the future, get as many smart people together and have them advance whatever you want, no open source conferences should be priced as high as some of the other ones I've seen.
