Old Bag of Nails at the Grandview location has decided to sponsor Columbus Perl Mongers.

The gave us 4 x $25 gift certificates, and 4 XL logo'd t-shirts, that will be used for speaker swag.

If you happen to be there, tell the management "thanks".

There are several ways to talk about YAPC. You can try out the IRC chat room at irc.perl.org #yapc or by signing up for the official yapc mailing list.

So pick your personal favorite and find out whats going on.

I am currently working on finishing up my LAST bid for hosting YAPC::NA in Columbus. I have started a website YAPC2010.com and I am looking for people interested in attending YAPC::NA::2009 in Pit to help me pitch this. If you are interested send me an email at "bairh at nationwide.com".

Columbus.pm.org now uses captchas, (math, images and text), supports openID for an existing or any new accounts.

Also, I have added a moderator role and added a couple of faithful users with that role. If you find that you can edit or delete comments, polls, etc. then you have the role.

New user accounts no longer require admin approval. For some reason, comments weren't accessible earlier. That has been fixed.

YAPC-NA 2007 is now over.

If you were involved in surgery, could not stop coding to travel to Houston, or have some other good reason for missing YAPC, then you missed out.

However, you may still access the slides and talks. Many of the talks are links within the abstract, so look around.

If you do use activestate, do not use 5.8.8 build 819. It's broken, and you will get a lot of errors with ppm. 817 works nicely.
