 Not yet, no. (Oh, and what are the cheapest flights from London City?
 Living in skanky East London's got to be good for *something*.)

I was hoping for a lovely cheap flight from London City to Amsterdam but
VLM (who I can get cheap flight from) only fly to Rotterdam :( 

There are flights to Amsterdam from there but they're about 120 quid :(

Will try and see if I can get cheapo flight through my contacts.

No, I was really busy last week. Will try and do them this week.

So take the train? Only takes an hour with the IC, and it's probably cheaper
than flying on such a short distance.

You can even go straight to Diemen Zuid if you're going to the conference
first (and it's closer to the hotel as well); change at Leiden Centraal or
at Schiphol(Airport). Still only 1:02 or 1:12, depending on your connection.
(Although you'd have to get to Rotterdam Centraal from the airport, I
admit.)

So?

 There are flights to Amsterdam from there but they're about 120 quid :(
 Will try and see if I can get cheapo flight through my contacts.

Rotterdam is my favourite airport to fly to in Holland, together with
Maastricht. It will take you about 4 minutes to get from your plane seat
to your taxi seat. No kidding. 1 minute to walk to the building, 1
minute queuing with the other 20 passengers for the two customs
officials, 1 minute waiting for your bag, 1 minute walking to your taxi. 

It will cost you 15 guilders (less then 5 pounds) to get to the central
station with a taxi in 5 minutes, then about 30 guilders (less then 10
pounds) to get to Amsterdam in 1 hour. (45 minutes and you will be
passing Schiphol airport). I will bet you that the moment you pass
Schiphol, the people that landed at the same time are still walking to
their luggage, for which they will have to wait another half hour. If it
arrived there, and didn't send to Timbuktu. 

Plus you don't have to sit between the stag|hen-party-goes-Amsterdam
easyjet, or heaven forbid even worse London.pm, rabble. :-) I really
like checing in as well, with 20 people on a flight it is the most
relaxing thing ever, especially compared with the Easyjet approach of
let's open the free-seating for all check-in 20 minutes before we close 
for these 400 people now. Or when we finish our nailpolish.

 I have, now to write[0] the talks.

I got lucky. They didn't want the Perl Proverbs talk (which I'd have
to write), but they did want 12 step (which I busk). Result.

Busk... What a wonderful turn of phrase ;)

Yeah. Dates and venues and stuff have been announced. And there was 
a CFP. It's all on http://www.yapc.org/Europe/.

 ISTR dimly that last year around this time you lot were further down 
 the road in organising things than what I see now. 

I really don't think that's true. My memory is that nothing was
organised until about July. I may be romanticising tho' :)

 This may have been due to the open yapc mailing list where one could 
 see "things happening" -- even if the "things happening" was 
 only "another meeting to try to find a venue". Amsterdam has a venue, 
 but I don't think they have a public mailing list yet, where one can 
 ask about hotels, etc. The website is pretty sparse as well.

They were talking about resurrecting the existing public list. Feel
free to post questions to it and see if you get a response.

 Is anyone here going to be in Amsterdam? 

I will. And, probably, a large contingent of the usual suspects.

 Probably arrive Wednesday, leave Sunday.

 Decided where you're going to stay yet?

Nah. That's months away :)

I know. Thing is, what's there is pretty much limited to what you summed up
in two sentences.

That may be right :). Still, it *felt* further down the road, I think.
Probably because I could see things happening (or not happening --
ic.ac.uk) and didn't just have to sit there hoping things would work out all
right.

(However, I do remember not having much tangible to show my boss until quite
late -- especially times and subjects of papers.)

Hm. 'll have to try that.

  Decided where you're going to stay yet?

Yabbut only four months. I guess hotels tend to fill up, and airlines like
you to book well in advance, too.

I'll try the yapc-europe list and see what happens.

Cheers,
Philip

No. Yes. Maybe? ;-)

Well, you'll all be happy to know that we're resurrecting the old
yapc::Europe mailing list[1] to give everyone a better idea of what's
going on. Planning is *way* more advanced than last year, although
perhaps this hasn't been exposed. Ask all you evil questions there ;-)

I will, of course, be continuing my Perl Conference World Tour and be
there (maybe even for the week so I can pop down to HAL2001 too...)
