yapc::Europe News Flash
I am extremely pleased to announce that the yapc::Europe conference now has a venue. The ICA (http://www.ica.org.uk) will be acting as partners in this conference in much the same way as CMU has done for yapc::America::North.
They are probably situated in one of the most prestigious areas of London and initial inspection of their premises is very impressive.
The conference will have the theme of 'The Art of Perl' and Saturday afternoon will have a special series of talks involving the use of Perl to generate conventional art, Perl programming as an artform in its own right and Open Source in Europe this last talk drawing on parallels between Open Source and some aspect of the art community.
The members of London.pm deserve special thanks as they have been involved a lot in suggesting, researching and now, securing a venue(s). This involvement illustrates the fact that this conference is very much an inclusive process rather than exclusive, and I'd like you all to remember that when the call for papers goes out very soon.
Greg
