First Batch Of Guest Speakers
(English follows Japanese)
YAPC実行委員長の牧です。
今年のYAPCのゲストスピーカーの一部をサイト上で公開しました！ 今回は最近はGo言語の開発の一員、そしてMemcachedやDanga::Socket等の開発でもおなじみであり、Perlユーザーにもなじみが深いBrad Fitzpatrick氏に加え、なななななんと！ Rubyの親とPerlの親であるMatz氏とLarry Wall氏が同じカンファレンスに集まるという滅多にない機会がうまれる予定です！
でも今年はこれだけではありません、まだ詳細は未定ですがあと2，3人ゲストスピーカーを招待する予定です。もうしばしお待ちください！
なお去年に引き続き今年も海外勢のトークに関しては同時通訳をお願いして英語が苦手という皆様にも気楽に楽しんでいただけるようになる予定です。なお同時通訳はスポンサー第一弾はGitHub社でした。「世界中の人達をつなげたい」、その気持ちを込めて同時通訳スポンサーを引き受けていただけたそうです！
今年のYAPC::Asia Tokyoもいよいよ本格始動です。乞うご期待！

We have announced the first batch of Guest Speakers on our site! This year we will be featuring Brad Fitzpatrick who is working on Go, but also well known in the Perl community as the developer for Memcached and Danga::Socket, among many other things. We are also delighted to host both Matz and Larry Wall, fathers of Ruby and Perl, respectively. You won't get the chance to see them in the same place too often, but this will be your chance!
And this is not the end. We are planning on inviting 2 or 3 additional Guest Speakers. Stay tuned for more info!
If you are an English speaker aiming to give a talk at YAPC::Asia Tokyo, you may also be in luck. GitHub has generously announced that they will be one of the sponsors for our Realtime Interpretation Sponsorship, which will be used to provide interpretation for Japanese audiences listening to your English talks. The slots are limited, but if we can afford it we may offer regular speakers a chance to have their talk interpreted too.
