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?
No, I got it, you didn't get mine.
- 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...
While my OP did mention some of those things, it only did so as a
way to have _more in-person interaction_ at the two DConf
alternative formats I suggested, neither of which was primarily
about any of the stuff you mention.
At least look at the first two bullet points in my post
responding to Adam, because you're missing the entire point of my
suggestions, which is that certain things like talks are better
suited to online whereas conferences are more suited for
in-person interaction.
