I second the vote for Daniel, as he seems fairly opinionated online and might make for a good speaker. I didn't even know if he goes to DConf, as he's never given a talk at the recent ones. He could talk about dmdfe's structure and the magicport/ddmd effort would also make for good material. > Do we know if the DConf 2015 talks will be recorded? Walter said earlier in this thread that they're arranging something, though he's not sure about live-streaming yet. |

I am considering proposing a talk about ddmd, which would touch on some of the compiler internals. We'll see. |
