Reddit is link-sharing and discussing site running on some open source Python code. It has so called 'subredits' that are categories for sharing links related to a specific topic. Posting an article on Reddit can get hundreds or thousands of additional visitors to an article, and via their aggregation it can expose the Perl-related activity to other communities as well.

In the real world of Perl programmers you often need to work in strange environments. For some reason, unlike with Java programmers, they expect that you work around all the obstacles they put in front of you. And you do, because you are a Perl programmer who can work around strange issues. (Which of course reinforces their unreasonable expectations, but that's a different story.)

The organizers of YAPC::NA have put out a call for master classes and they sent out an e-mail with information about hotel reservation with a call for talks. I don't recall any announcement, announcing the announcement list, but if you managed to follow this sentence so far, and if you are interested in YAPC::NA related news,then you migh sign up here. The hotel information page mentions that there is an early-bird discount for the hotel rooms. (Unfortunately the talks won't be announced by that.)
