BEERCONF!

In 2 weeks we will have the 14th mensual online Beerconf on July 24-25!

As usual, we will be discussing any and all D topics, and anything else that suits your fancy, while drinking our favorite beverages! Sadly, I will not be able to attend this one, as I'm going on a camping trip with family. I will be there in spirit, as I likely will consume some amount of beer.

For those unfamiliar with beerconf, please see the wiki article.

As before, I will offer if anyone wants to have a short talk on any D topic, I can announce this on the forums so you can have the floor and hopefully attract a higher audience for it. Just let me know the topic and the time (UTC please). Because we are international, it can be any time that suits you! Hit me on discord, or slack, or send an email to schveiguy at gmail.

I will see you next month, cheers! 🍻

Not sure why I haven't already.

Just a forewarning, it was brought to my attention last month that for some people, Beerconf would fall on the Sunday/Monday 25-26th for them. Why? If you're living in Apia, Saturday 24th July would begin on Friday 23rd at 13:00 CEST, while in neighbouring Alofi, Sunday 25th ends on Monday 26th at 13:00 CEST.

So this month as an experiment I'll be starting the Jitsi meeting at a time that suits people living on the edge of the positive side of UTC (mostly Auckland and East-coast Australia). If you are living in Europe or America, this would be Friday afternoon or evening for you.

Depending on how it goes, either we'll see more of a spread out meet-up, or start being more centric around UTC. See you all next week!

IMO, we should tag the posts/reply in D community. We can first raise about 20 common tags. Then new posts/good replies/important people's answer should be tagged. Old posts should also be tagged according to their importance. Meanwhile, someone should be responsible for classifying the posts in the Forum according to their tags,This can be convenient for newbies to find their need and learn from it.
We didn't make good use of the forum at all, the previous excellent discussions is wasted.

Just a reminder, this is happening in 2 days 1 day! Iain is going to start it early for our friends down under.

I might possibly be able to jump on tomorrow afternoon if I'm not too busy packing.

But if not, see you next month!
