We're making a proposal to host YAPC::EU 2013
The bad news we heard today about ZERO number of proposals for 2013 made us active enough to produce good news: we decided to make a proposal for hosing YAPC::Europe 2013 in Kiev (still no visas required for EU/US/UK/RU citizen).
"We" are the Kiev.pm + Moscow.pm groups, namely, the guys who made the recent fantastic YAPC::Russia in 2012 (100+ people) in Kiev and myself. We'll add up the facts about the venue, prices etc. to our proposal in the following few days, definitely long before Frankfurt event in August, and well public full text soon. We've got a venue in mind already.
As an organiser of YAPC in Riga and from the attendees feedback I have some ideas of where we failed and how we can fix that. And of course, all the great things that worked should be repeated.
I blog about Perl.

That's good news. Last year was my first YAPC and it was quite good IMHO. This year looks a bit disorganized to me so far. As for Kiev, no visa for TR as well after 1 August 2012 (so, that leaves UK as the annoyment for me :p)
yay!
I take this as a public confession you're addicted to organizing perl conferences and workshops ;-)
