But one little thing that comes in mind now is: It really needs
this type of conference when we live in Internet era?
It was a U$ 30k event for how many attendees? 100 for a
universe of 10k D users?
What I mean is, can't "we" make those videos and share thoughts
without conferences, do it monthly to gather attention of more
programmers?
If the internet works for open source code, a live meeting over
internet wouldn't be possible too?
I agree, a physical conference is positively anachronistic in
this day and age. So much of D is done online, no reason these
talks couldn't be done that way too. That said, the last D
conference was in 2007: it does make sense to get together in
person at least once every six years, ;) at least for those who
go in for that sort of thing.
