LOPSA is teaming up with the Chicago Perl Mongers to help make this year's Yet Another Perl Conference North America (YAPC::NA) better than ever.

YAPC::NA will take place June 16th-18th in Chicago, IL. We're extending a special call for proposals to you. Many LOPSA members are exceptional Perl programmers, using Perl daily and managing large Perl installations. If you have special insights, tricks, new ideas or a gift for gab, submit your proposal now to deliver a talk at YAPC:NA.

This is a great opportunity for LOPSA and its members to present a system administration perspective on Perl to some of the people at the center of the Perl world.

YAPC::NA is currently accepting proposals for 20, 45, 70, and 95 minute talks, and for longer hands-on workshops. The talks and workshops can be directed at any level of Perl programmer, user, or system administrator.

To tender your proposal for a talk, visit http://yapc.org/America and create an account. You may also send your proposals to education@LOPSA.org. If you are interested in leading a workshop, please contact Joshua McAdams directly at joshua.mcadams@gmail.com.

LOPSA has secured an extended submission deadline of 4 April 2008 for its members.

If you're accepted to speak at YAPC::NA as a member of LOPSA, we'll provide you with a LOPSA t-shirt and plenty of good press in our official communiques. YAPC::NA will waive their attendance fees. The LOPSA Education Committee is also happy to help presenters prepare, proofread, and organize their talks. We're also happy to help finish cooking some half-baked ideas you might be tossing around; if you have any ideas at all, feel free to run them by us.
