It's all there in the archive :-)
You did not write that it is a *bad* thing just that we might not want
it and I agreed. Though I might have understood something else and not
exactly what you meant.

On YAPC::EU I talked to Leon Brocard who is basically the main contact 
person of YAPC in Europe and he actually already mentioned YAPC::Israel 
on the YAPC planning mailing list. I'll talk to him and other YAPC 
people more in the near future. In any case here is a link to a paper 
about YAPC venue requirements. http://www.yapc.org/venue-reqs.txt
