We will post a streaming link at the time of the meetup.

What specific questions would you like answered?

It would be quite interesting to hear what D goals Walter has for 2019, he want to achieve.

This would be also interesting to hear from the other DLang foundation members.

Kind regards

If you were to design D again (or D2 again, or new D3), what three things would you design differently?

What are the top D related activities that you spend most time on? If you had more time available, how would you wish to spend it?

What would be the best next big thing to happen to D?

Are there specific areas in our eco system that you think stand out as needing improvement? If so, what would be the best way to go about it?

Say you had three skilled employees that you could tell what to do. What would you have them work on?

Has D become the language that you envisioned it to be? Has it surpassed it, or not yet? How would you like to see it evolve?

Are you happy with the D community?

Is there a recording of it available?

I apologize but we failed to use YouTube Live (works over the old Google Hangouts). So we had a private Skype connection instead.

Part of me says I should not complain about free tools like those but part of me can't believe how low the usability of conferencing solutions are. Random example: "Your microphone is muted; unmute it?" selection is wrong because my microphone is not muted. Yeah, I shouldn't start...

So in other words, nobody recorded it?
