Mostly in its name. I also intend(ed) it to be smaller in terms of work to organize it. YAPC::EU and YAPC::NA are 3 days 3-5 tracks YAPC::Israel was 1 day 3 tracks OSDC::Israel was3 days 3 tracks The workshop is planned to be 1 day 1 track (or two the most) and even that day is shorter than YAPC/OSDC days. So that probably means its format. I won't deal with the proceedings, you might not get a bag, I don't think we'll have the auction. On the other hand I secretly hope - if this indeed will be relatively easy to organize - to hold 2-4 of them a year. Unless people tell me it is a stupid idea. I though it to be something between a monthly Perl meeting and a YAPC/OSDC. One of the reasons I thought to organize this is that on the monthly meeting most of the people are either local (F5 employees) or from the core of the Mongers (or both). It rarely attracts others - regular people working in the industry - as it is in the evening hours. I belive it is ok to give a talk that you already gave on a previous YAPC/OSDC/Mongers meeting. On YAPC::EU I see people giving a talk several times. Actually what they do is make progress in their work and give show that progress in their talks as well. e.g. I already decided that I'll submit my "Testing Open Source Software" again next year on YAPC::EU and give an improved version of it. If I am brave enough I might give it on our workshop as well though in a much shorter version.
