Yaaaaar!

A few updates after the meeting yesterday:

It looks like this year people attending YAR will have three workshops a day and the evenings will have more loose, openly facilitated workshops and discussions. The mid-day workshop will actually be two different workshops that participants can chose from.

Camp will be held at Wildwood, please check out their website to see what they're about.
This means that YAR will be held in Winnipeg this year! Grease up your chains, you can bike to YAR (I think that's what this means).

The workshops are being finalized and facilitators found right now, more on the workshops next post.

yeahhhhhh,
