All the Perl that's Practical to Extract and Report

Congratulations to Houston and Vienna who have just been announced as the venues for YAPC::NA and YAPC::EU in 2007.

Update: Here's the official YAPC::EU announcement that kudra would have posted if I hadn't beaten her to it with my unofficial version:

YAPC::Europe Foundation is pleased to announce that Vienna, Austria has been chosen as the site for YAPC::Europe 2007, the eighth European YAPC.

Vienna faced tough competition from Lyon, France and Pisa, Italy, and we hope that these groups will give us the opportunity to consider their proposals again in the future.

We are confident that Vienna.pm's experienced team--which was responsible for several Austrian Perl Workshops--will put together a wonderful conference. The theme for the next YAPC::Europe will be 'Social Perl'.

We hope to see you in Vienna next summer!

Obligatory

"One small step for Perl, one giant leap for Perlkind."

I can see it now, a t-shirt with a picture of a camel wearing a space helmet on the moon, next to a TPF flag....or something.

Finally!

On the one hand, it's close enough to home that I can drive. On the other hand, my wife wants to come along and bring the kids.

I just hope they don't register a silly domain name like vienna2007.com, for the conference's website.

Well, they can't, as that domain name is already taken! :)

Red Bull sponsorship?

As the conference is being held in Austria and there'll be a lot of geeks, surely Red Bull would be a good sponsor? After all, it'll be much cheaper than buying different sports teams.

Does anyone know Dietrich Mateschitz? ;)
