What is YAPC::NA?

What is the "Call for Venue"?
Each year "Perl Mongers":http://pm.org/ groups bid to host the conference for the upcoming year in the location of their choosing. The "Call for Venue" is The Perl Foundation's official invitation for groups to send in their bids.
How do you submit a bid?
The best place to start researching is the "bidding details":http://yapc.org/yapcna.html page at "yapc.org":http://yapc.org/.
