Much of the necessary funding for YAPC comes from the generous donations of our sponsors. All topics are welcome. Participants speak for no more than five minutes, with the use of conventional transparencies. The talk ends at the five-minute mark, regardless of whether or not the speaker has finished. Any topic is allowed, and some have been fantastically humourous.
Lightning talks are an excellent forum for first-time speakers.
This is enough time to start a topic, introduce it with some pithy slides, and open up to later conversation. Yet Another Society is a non-profit organization for the advancement of collaborative efforts in computer and information sciences. YAS promotes symposia, teaching, and group projects. Nous sommes la recherche de commanditaires. Tous les sujets sont bienvenus.
