By the way I finds DDoc suprinsingly apt for a static site generator. Markdown is great for writing content but without macros, no reuse.

My only comment is, which country is UT, this two letter combination is not yet assigned in ISO 3166.

Dunno, maybe an US person would tell if "Utah" would be preferable to "UT".

I guess it depends if you want non USA people to know the location. I appreciate that everyone inside the USA knows all the state codes, and knows that if you do not specify a country, of course it is in the USA. However, for people not in the USA this knowledge is absent – though people in the USA haven't really cottoned on to that yet.

Basically I think D should be a global thing, not a USA-centric one.

It is the same format as previous years (i.e. Menlo Park, CA). If you are having trouble, look at the google map embedded in the venue tab.

Sorry, but I think you are missing the point I am making.


PS Due to spinal/cost reasons, I will not be able to get to the DConf conference, but I will be at the "Play with D" meeting in London (*).



(*) Country unspecified but left implicit for people to guess.

My view point:
- I didn't know what UT meant myself
- I didn't know where the city was anyway
- it seems customary for Americans to see city names with the State code
- but, being a conference in the US, it is expected more US people are expected to fill the seats
- "Orem, Utah" might feel dumb to americans, dunno
- "Orem, UT" sounds kind-of cool and looks better than "Orem, Utah". Subjective I know.
