The YEF Venue Committee would like to announce that we have received two very interesting bids, from two great cities, to host YAPC::Europe 2009! The two capitals, Moscow and Lisbon, have submitted very strong proposals and the YEF Venue Commitee have a very hard task ahead of them in deciding who will have the honour of hosting the next YAPC::Europe. Over the next few weeks the committee will take a very close look at the proposals, clarifying any issue we raise with the prospective organisers, before we make a final decision for the host of YAPC::Europe 2009.
The public announcement for the location of YAPC::Europe 2009 will be given during YAPC::Europe 2008 in Copenhagen. So if you want to be among the first to know where to go in 2009, come to Copenhagen this summer!
