I'm looking at $2400 for a round-trip to Atlanta next month and am seriously considering a flight with three layovers instead. Three years ago the same flight at the same time of year cost me $1600. I haven't looked into prices to Seattle yet as my schedule likely isn't going to allow a trip to DConf (unless I get extremely lucky).

 No, 2006. Course it may have been $600 or $800, but I don't remember exactly; I just remember being in worse shape when I returned than when I left.

You could always give a talk describing a cool use of a feature or something like that? If you know the language then well then there's almost certainly something you could talk about.

This conference isn't just for presenting big projects. As Andrei said, the audience won't be necessarily formed of experts by an means, so even something quite simple could be worthwhile.

How come Remedy was removed as a sponsor from the DConf website? Their logo was there for a while, now it's gone.

Per their request.

Not really, as I mentioned, I tend to spend my programming time in another languages/environments.

My focus on the university was compiler design and distributed systems, so I tend to follow some language developments with interest.

Sadly my time is limited and I don't always explore all languages as I really would like to.

So far my only D program is the D version of a simple buffer management
article I wrote for C++.

http://www.progtools.org/compilers/tutorials/queue/article.html
http://www.progtools.org/compilers/tutorials/queue/queue.d

When life permits I am planing to update the said article to describe the D implementation as well.

But very simple stuff.

We have it, thanks!

Andrei

I have been playing around with UDAs recently and in combination with D's meta-programming they allow for some awesome stuff. I would love to see a presentation on that. I heard Ian mention doing a presentation on the challenges of porting D to ARM/Parallella which I think would a be very, very interesting talk to a great many people (myself included).

Just ideas.

Btw, would someone from wiki contributors be interested in doing the small talk about new planned release & development process? I'd really like to see it widely recognized.
