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.)

Accomodation for YAPC::Europe
Jouke is currently arranging reasonably priced hotel accomodation for London.pm. He needs you to fill out the little informal form he posted on YAPC::Europe's mailing list. This is an excellent way to get your accomodation arranged quickly and easily and end up spending time in a hotel with other mongers (that is mean't to be a plus point). People can also share twin rooms to reduce the cost further. I'm note sure, but I'd imagine there is some limit on the number of spaces that will end up being available. Especially when you consider room configurations. Greg -- Greg McCarrollhttp://217.34.97.146/~gem/
Re: YAPC::Europe
Quoting Simon Wistow ([EMAIL PROTECTED]): 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 :( 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. Cheers, -- Merijn Broeren | Fact: GPRS does not work if the Mobile Station (your phone, Software Geek | that is) moves faster than 500 km/h.

I figured I'd send you the letter I just sent Amsterdam.pm...maybe some parts of it can be re-used. Atm we're short on both full-length and lightning talks. Ann -- Forwarded message -- Date: Fri, 11 May 2001 12:23:44 +0200 (CEST) From: Ann Barcomb [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Amsterdam PM mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: YAPC::Europe reminders, and requests for help I just wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for speech proposals for YAPC::Europe is in less than 3 weeks, on 1 June. If you hadn't really thought about giving a speech because you don't think you could fill the entire time, or you're worried about speaking, consider giving a lightning talk. With only 5 minutes of time to fill, you could probably compose your speech during the conference! Just send a title and 1 line about the topic to [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Or just mail if you can commit to giving a lightning talk, even if you haven't thought of a topic yet. We're still looking for sponsors. If you know of companies that might be willing to sponsor the conference, mail Jouke [EMAIL PROTECTED]. Publicity is another area where we could use help. Suggestions and contacts for flyer distribution (such as at other conferences, meetings, etc) can be sent to me.

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.

Thing is, what's there is pretty much limited to what you summed up in two sentences. 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' :) 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.) They were talking about resurrecting the existing public list. Feel free to post questions to it and see if you get a response. Hm. 'll have to try that. Decided where you're going to stay yet? Nah. That's months away :) 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.

Re: yapc::Europe::19101?
Philip Newton sent the following bits through the ether: Has anyone else heard anything about yapc::Europe::19101? 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...)

The conference is set in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. YAPC began as a grassroots users conference, from discussions among Perl Mongers, and has grown from there. We would like to invite you to join us for three days of Perl, people, and demonstrations, at a price that shouldn't hurt your wallet. There will be a limit of around 500 people for the conference. A number of members of the Perl community are contributing to this event. Look at the main web page for more details -- http://www.yapc.org/Europe *** CALL FOR PAPERS *** Potential presenters should submit a 200-300 word abstract to [EMAIL PROTECTED] in plain ASCII text or HTML by June 1st for consideration. We would like your materials to be available online, but that is not required. If you have materials to include in the proceedings, or course notes, please let us know of your requirements in the abstract. If you have any special presentation needs, please include them also. The conference theme will be Security, so a portion of the the talks will be about that subject in some way. So if you have some knowledge of Perl related security issues, or use Perl in security related areas, you're more then welcome to share this with fellow Perl users at the conferece. Suggestions : * writing secure Perl CGI programs * security bloopers * cryptography techniques * cryptography applications * security issues in past and coming versions of perl * How you use Perl to enhance security of your network or website * Modules useful in security * Whatever you find interesting that's Perl- and security related A part of the time will be available for other Perl related subjects. Suggestions for subjects: * Groupware, Agents, and Bots * Perl in the world of Windows * MacPerl * Perl for Speech and Language * Text and Document Processing * Machine Learning in Perl * HTML, XML, and Markup Languages * CGI and Web programming in Perl * Internet Programming * Database Interaction and Access with Perl * Scientific Computing (e.g. with PDL) * Practical Perl Programming * Module guts and usage on any particular Module. * Tutorials of all stripes: Modules, Objects, CPAN * Visionary or position papers on Perl, the past, the present, and the future * Anything cool :) We have the following time slots in our schedule, so your contribution could have one of the following durations: 180 minute tutorials 90 minute talks 40 minute talks 25 minute talks lightning talks (5 minutes) Conference fees will be waived for presenters at yapc (lightning talks excepted), so another way to reduce your costs is to give a good talk on something you're excited about. We are looking for sponsors. Please contact Liz and Eric ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) for information about how you can help support YAPC Europe. Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors.
