Don't forget - Friday night is the deadline for both DConf submissions and early registrations.

http://dconf.org

It's safe to say we have a quorum already. Also, the proposals we got are solid. However, we are having fewer submissions, which is a bit of a letdown.

Keep in mind: DConf is literally created in every sense of the word by people in this forum. We're counting on our prominent participants to submit talk/panel proposals. If you're in doubt about your prominence, it's probably bigger than you think! Yes I'm talking about you! We also hope that most regulars on this forum will be able to attend. This is _the_ event to be at if you have an interest in D.

Last but not least, 31 January is not the time to deliver your _entire_ material. All we need is the _idea_ and the _abstract_. You'll have months to finish your talk after the acceptance process.

Just in case if anyone wants to speak but lacking ideas, here are some for you:

- You can talk about web development with D.
- You can talk about what are bindings and how to write C/C++ bindings with D.
- You can talk about functional programming with D. (A clojure/haskell vs. D might help)
- You can talk about D vs. Rust vs. Go.
- You can talk about templates and ranges.

Because I'm unavailable to go (and would love to). I would really appreciate somebody working on a talk for web services.

If I was able to go here is some points I would have done:
* What are other frameworks doing?
* Can we replicate these things in D?
* Iteration times, how can this be improved.

I have worked out how to do it for Cmsed. Which may give somebody ideas. However it requires shared libraries and modifications to dub.
Basically a template depends on a route and model, a route depends on a model. So if a template changes it can independently of a route/model. But if a route changes all three must recompile. Same deal for a model. And this would occur at runtime. Have a manager for the models and templates that allow for it to compile and have it logged (in shared library).
The dub changes basically conclude, copy all string import paths to target directory, given a sub directory. Have all import files for all dependencies provided in the target directory given a sub directory. And a couple directory option like copyFiles.

Vladimir Panteleev was going to submit a talk on vibe.d topic, I hope he has actually done that :P

By the way one thing we have been briefly talking about with Vladimir is that for next DConf it probably makes sense to initiate an early public discussion for projects and topics with no clear ownership so that one can clear see what areas are likely to be covered and what may need extra submissions.

Ah yes, that would definitely be a good idea. The whole stack of web services eco system is quite large after all.

I've personally been working on the general purpose web service frameworks including ORM side of things. Not really the lower level web server type stuff.

I think the high quality of the talks last time may have scared
people off a little, thinking they aren't good enough!

Mengü, these are great ideas. I wonder what topic you are saving for yourself. ;)

Ticket acquired.

The main page says the early bird deadline is "To Be Determined", by the way.

Forgot I can just do a pull request to fix it: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org/pull/14
