March 29-30 2006, Tokyo
We've finally uploaded video files recorded in YAPC::Asia 2006, to Internet Archive (archive.org) under Creative Commons by-nc-sa (with some exceptions like Audrey's "by" ones).
Go stream them and re-enjoy YAPC::Asia. We also generated Videocast feed (RSS 2.0 with enclosures) so that you can download videos using videocatcher tools like iTunes. This feed is generated using my favorite RSS/Atom aggregator/generator Plagger, of course :-)
We will integrate Audio and Slides to Sessions page as well.
Thanks to the registration fee from massive # of attendees (300 tickets + 15 paypal registrations), we made roughly 198,000 Yen (= 1,700 USD) of benefit in YAPC::Asia account.
Of course, YAPC is a non-profit event and thus we pooled 100,000 Yen to Shibuya.pm account, so that we can use that for an upcoming event, if any. We decided we would donate other than that.
So today, we made 800 US Dollars donation to Perl development fund of The Perl Foundation. You can find my name (Miyagawa, Tatsuhiko) in the middle, which actually represents Shibuya Perl Mongers and YAPC::Asia 2006 Committe. (I noted that Shibuya.pm should be listed there instead of my name, but apparently there name listing system is not flexible enough)
Hey, we have just one week for YAPC::Asia!
We'll have an official conference dinner on 29th March, the 1st night. Here's a detailed schedule.
Date: 2006/03/29 19:00-
Location: Ni-hao, Kamata (Chinese food)
Price: 5,000 Yen
Because the restaurant has a limit of space, we'll open a registration form (signups) for the dinner on March 23rd (Thu) Japanese Time, to accept 100 people from attendees. To whoever signed up for YAPC::Asia, we'll send a quick notice how to register yourself.
We're sorry this dinner is not free, and has a limit of people to get together.
NOTE: Speakers and invited guests don't have to signup.
In less than 3 weeks, we got 300 tickets sold out for domestic attendees. and 20+ signups from international attendees. This has hit the capacity of the venue and we're now closing the registration.
Thanks for signups everybody. We're looking forward to seeing all of you in Tokyo!
