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.

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...)

 having real problems using Archive::Zip.

Try something like:

  my $zip = Archive::Zip-new();
  my $member = $zip-addFile("boris.pl");
  $member-desiredCompressionLevel(9);
