Same here. Dusseldorf is quite close and I attended FOSDEM a few times.

I am just not sure if I will be available by then.

List of accepted developer rooms:

Don't know if something related to D may fit one of accepted devrooms.

I could always gate crash Go's dev room. :o)

I think I will attend anyway as a casual visitor, can have an informal D meetup at least.

The more surprising to me is that they scheduled a Smalltalk room.

Smalltalk is still heavily used in education thanks to Squeak and Pharo.

Not to mention the research papers that every now and then come out regarding how to improve JIT in dynamic languages or doing source control in image based systems.

FOSDEM has been hosting Smalltalk for quite a few years now.
