yapc: Yet Another Perl ConferenceLast-Minute DetailsHello, YAPC-goer! Here is some last-minute information for your trip to YAPC 2001 in Montreal this year. * Registration opens early: Tuesday 4pm - 8pm in Leacock lobby. Avoid the rush! Get in early! However, if you show up and the talks are starting, just go in, and register later. * Announcements on Thursday and Friday will begin at 8:45, before everything gets started at 9:00. Schedule changes, etc., will be announced at these short sessions. * The revised schedule is on the web site (www.yapc.org/America) and the abstracts are available at http://lucs.dyndns.org/yapcq.html Please take a look to find what you'll be missing in the three tracks you can't make it to while you're only in one place :) * Authors: Bring your laptops or find someone with one when you show up! We have overhead projectors, but we have had some difficulty getting dedicated podium machines. We hope to have that solved by the time you need it, if by volunteer laptop. * Breakfast starts at 8:00 in the Leacock lobby. Show up and get your coffee and snacky things in time for the big event. Breakfast is served all three days at 8 am. There is no lunch provided, but there are lots of places downtown (just past the main entrance). Many are in the malls -- there are four underground food courts in there. * Bring wireless gear. In particular, your 802.11 pcmcia cards for your laptops, and if it's convenient for you, bring a base station too! * Bring a spare CAT-5 cable if you want to try to hook your laptop up to the net without a wireless card. * Finding Leacock Hall: From the main McGill entrance on Sherbrooke, go straight until you dead-end into Arts building and turn left. You will run into Leacock if you keep going there. * Dorms: You need to sign in in Bishop Mountain Hall at the service desk. They'll take it from there. Bishop Mountain Hall is at the top of University Street, past the Montreal Neuro institute, and is a round building along the road to the right. * Parking: Dorm attendees (and others!) can find inexpensive parking right at the dorms. Follow the directions above to reach the dorms and stop at the parking booth at the entrance to the stadium. Best wishes on an uneventful trip to the conference, eh. We look forward to seeing you there, eh! The Y Eh! P C Team |
