 Well,  I'm back home safely and I hope everyone else at dconf had a
pleasant journey home.

To follow up on a point I made during one of the many discussions and
debates at aloft, I think it's great that this has sparked many mini
projects in full speed ahead - auto tester integration with gdc/ldc;
 migrating D front end to D.   However we don't need a conference to get
this sort of burst of activity of going.   And I imagine with some efforts
(migrating D front end,  for instance) will require more discussions
outside of the ML to keep it moving and iron out issues that can't be
resolved through the ML.

For this I am available on Skype, and would be willing to show up in any
conference calls (monthly, or quarterly) to keep this effort, and others
going.

Thoughts?

This is a fantastic idea, and a year is a long time to wait. I know that
Google Hangouts is limited to 10 participants with n viewers. And Skype
supports 25 people in a call before charging. Does anyone know if there is
a free alternative that supports n attendees?


SIP is a well supported protocol.  There are various open source
servers/clients out there that we can use.

However, I don't think there would be >25 people attending such things.
Infact, things might get ugly if more than 20 people join in on
conversation, unless there is some sort of policing going on. :)


Well, I was thinking that more than 25 people might interested in joining the conference call. I mean we did just get around 85 people for the conference. Although I suppose not everyone would have time for a more regular meeting, I could see enough potential interest to hit 25. After all there are a quite a few of us who are rather interested in moving D forward. :-)


Indeed.  I was thinking more of involving people who are intimate with the various developments in the language.  Eg:  People who are dealing with rvalues as references may not be the same people who are dealing with migrating D front end to D, or people dealing with CTFE implementation.  However we should always be inviting to people who want to listen in on the conversation.  =)
