YAPC::AU/OSDC 2005 Call for Papers
Simon Taylor writes "Last year the Melbourne Perl Mongers group set forth to hold Australia's first ever YAPC. However we then changed it to be Australia's first Open Source Developers' Conference, covering Perl, Python, PHP and many Open Source tools. This conference was a huge success, drawing 45 speakers for 60 talks. Dr. Damian Conway and Nathan Torkington provided high quality keynotes alongside Australian Open Source advocate Con Zymaris, Python release manager Anthony Baxter, and PHP and MySQL author Luke Welling. Other prominent speakers include Abigail, Baden Hughes and Nigel McFarlane. This year's conference promises to be even better and is running in Melbourne from the 5th - 7th December 2005. Talk proposals are due 19th August."
YAPC::NA::2006 Call For Venues
KM writes "With the close of another successful YAPC::NA, it is now
time to throw open the call for venues for next year's (2006) YAPC::NA
conference.
You can get details on what a YAPC venue needs at http://www.yapc.org/venue-reqs.txt. When making your proposal, in addition to venue information and possible dates, do please make sure to include details on airport locations, local public transit (as well as transit to the venue from the airport!), local cultural attractions, and accommodation information. (See the docs for more details) The more information you provide, within reason, the better.
As with last year, we are also making available the different categories, and weight for those categories, for prospective proposers. Please visit http://yapc.org/yapc-crit.txt for more information on this. This shows the catgeories under which venues will be reviewed to be able to bring another great conference to you, at the lowest cost possible.
Send the proposals to yapc-venues AT yetanother DOT org. Proposals are due by Friday, September 2 2005, with a decision due on September 16 2005. (If the summertime vacation blahs catch everyone out we may extend the deadline. Don't count on that) This gives about N weeks, which should be manageable, and should still fit within most college and university scheduling requirements.
This is your chance to bring a YAPC to your town. It's a very rewarding experience, and is a great way to give to the Perl community."

Lightning Talks at OSCON 2005
Mark Dominus writes "Lightning talks are brief (5-minute) talks that focus on a single
example, idea, project, or technique. Lightning talks do not attempt
to cover all aspects of their subject matter, but rather to present
one facet of the idea clearly and succinctly. To submit a proposal for a lightning talk, please send your proposed
title and an abstract of up to four sentences to osc-lt-2005-submit-perl@plover.com . For more complete information, visit the lightning talks site. Thanks."

yapc::NA::2005 Conference Proceedings
Fulko Hew writes "Now that YAPC::NA::2005 is over, and was a resounding success, work has started (as promised) on assembling the proceedings. For the presenters: this is your chance to update your slide show or presentation material that you want to include in the proceedings. It also gives you one last chance to update your photo and biography. (you should already know how to do that!) For all of you who attended: please submit any photos and movies that your took during your visit and they wiil be added to the proceedings. By going to http://hew.ca/yapc.html you can select
the talk on the appropriate day, push the appropriate button, and upload the appropriate item.
If you are uploading photos or movies, try to file them according to the session or activity when they were taken, don't forget to add a caption, and most importantly, you have to upload them one at a time, not a zip'ed file! Since the automatted audio and video recording system didn't quite work out as smoothly as I had hoped, it will be a while before the ~100 hours of recorded material can be processed and filed. Once completed there will be another announcement about how you can download ISOs, individual sessions, or purchase CDs/DVDs of the conference. In the meantime, you can scan the proceedings for the photos and presentation material currently submitted, by clicking on the titles of the sessions at the same URL. (Please be gentle on my web server.)"
