July 20, 2007 D Conference -- July Update | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
(followup-to set to digitalmars.D) Good news! I've got a schedule for us. It's posted on the conference website on the speakers page: http://d.puremagic.com/conference2007/ I've included the current version of the schedule at the end of this email (still subject to slight alterations, though it's fairly solid). NOTICE: I've extended the conference to a third day that's totally unstructured. Basically, I've made arrangements for us to be able to use the conference rooms on Saturday for whatever we want. I have a feeling there will be people who want to continue talking. Some had asked about time for a code-fest, this is your opportunity. REMINDER: We're down to 5 weeks until the conference. Don't forget to book your airline tickets and make hotel reservations soon. Several of you have asked me who all is going to attend. For privacy reasons, I'm not willing to release a list of names or email addresses, but I will say that so far there's been 75 registrations (after weeding out a few bogus junk entries). That includes the speakers but does NOT include any amazon employees who might attend. So, there's going to be quite a bunch of us. If you haven't registered yet, please go to the conference website and do so. I really have to have an accurate list of people who are going to attend to have badges made up ahead of time.

Posted in reply to Brad Roberts | Hi! Sorry for jumping in like this, but as I'm unable to attend the conference, I was wondering if the talks will be recorded? It would be great if the rest of us could see them from youtube or something. (But you probably had thought of this already) Have fun you lucky guys. =) O. |

From the FAQ up on the web site:
Will the conference be video taped?
Yes, though it will take some time to process them.
Later,

Posted in reply to Brad Roberts | Unfortunately the whole trip would cost me a fortune, so I'll miss the first D Conference. :( However, I would appreciate VERY MUCH if You guys put videos from the conference on Google or YouTube. Kind regards |

YouTube or google would be a great idea, particularly if they where split up by each talk. I don't mind if the videos come a few months later though (its only fair to those who paid to attend) however I think they would be a great promotional tool for D. Also maybe the second D conference could be announced on Slashdot/Dig as well.

I registered a while back and haven't received any notification yet. I would hate to show up and not be able to attend without a badge. :)

The notification was the 'think you for registering' page. There won't be anything physically mailed. I've been sending status updates to the digitalmars.D.announce newsgroup about once a month. I guess it makes sense to send those status updates directly to all registrants as well, just in case there are some that don't follow the newsgroups. I'll do that for the next update.
Later,
Brad

Um, actually, there will be badges, but you'll get them at the door. :) But nice reproduction of the accent.
Later,
Brad
