The Perl Foundation received two bids for the North American edition of Yet Another Perl Conference: One from conference new-comer Columbus.pm (Ohio), and one from the hosts of YAPC::NA::2006, Chicago. The TPF conference committee will consider both bids and make a decision soon.
Jim Brandt posted the Columbus bid and the Chicago bid. If you're thinking about running a YAPC, or even a workshop, those bids are a guide to the things you need to think about and plan for.
