Hello,



We figured a workflow that allows us to make the source of dconf.org public.

We plan to adapt the design for next year's event, so if you have any ideas feel free to take a look.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org


Thanks,

Andrei

So I guess this makes it official that we're going to have a DConf 2014? Pretty cool.

Any ideas where it will be hosted, or where you'd want to host it?

Barring unforeseen circumstances, yes.

We are looking at a couple of companies and universities. (In all likelihood the main event will take place in the US.)

By the way I should emphasize one possibly non-obvious aspect. Some obvious candidates for hosting DConf 2014 are Sociomantic, Remedy, and Facebook. The largest gains a corporate organizer may get from setting up such an event (aside from the goodwill) come from the recruiting angle: Don mentioned Sociomantic is hiring, I have no doubts Remedy would be glad to get some talent (http://remedygames.com/recruit/), and I've also mentioned to all at the conference that Facebook is hiring too.

If any participant is considering changing jobs, I compel you to follow up with these companies and mention that DConf 2013 gave you the impetus. I don't have any official statement on this, but the word on the street is that one engineering hire from DConf 2013 would virtually guarantee that Facebook will offer to host next year's edition.

It seems like Sociomantic will get at least one :) Funny, but idea that they are hiring never came to my mind until this DConf.
