If you're still not sure what I mean, read this long post I
wrote fisking Adam's similar post:

Perhaps you did not get my point?
- I have nothing against core D team having web-conferences as
much as they please. It is up to them (and they may already have
them?) how they want to communicate.
What I argued about was that, just because some antisocial geek
argues that conferences are "dead" because we have
web-conferencing and similar means of communication does not mean
we all share that opinion... Everyone can record a "talk" with
slides and put it on some video streaming site like Vimeo or
YouTube, but I personally see that as ANOTHER way to reach the
community, certainly NOT an alternative to a well-organised
conference!
Do not get me wrong, I have nothing against the proposal - I
think D community can have both good, annual conference, AND what
web-conferencing between core D devs, and people who would record
talks in their rooms or offices and make them public...
