I've been doing a little research and talking to a few people and it looks like we could actually pull this off.
If we want to pursue attempting to bring YAPC::NA to Houston, we need some research and ideas in the next few weeks to a month and some time spent writing a proposal. We would need to evaluate venues for the conference itself and track down some potential sponsors. It sounds like this could be handled by a handful of people in the early stages. If YAPC did come here we would probably need more volunteers to help at the conference with various facilitation and people directing roles. We also probably want to choose a person to take the lead on the proposal and organization. Anyone interested? For those that are interested, should we try to coordinate this stuff on this list or work through other channels (maybe a separate mailing list)? For those who are not interested in the workings of the conference, would you be too bothered if conference business happened on the list and at the regular meetings? G. Wade -- Always hold a grudge.
