Yes, that was the intention on both counts. There's no point to 
flying somewhere just for the day. Especially since there will 
doubtless be Micro BeerConfs in the evening ;-)

We should probably organise this!

Great idea. I'm in.


:( So jealous...  Two 10 hours flights for a weekend doesn't sound 
appealing enough.


Maybe I'll show up if it's held somewhere on my bucket list ;)

Yes, that was the intention on both counts. There's no point to

Well, technically you could, but it involves a set of rather grueling
flights.

Depending on the day it's held I might be able to attend once a year.
If it's on the weekend, I can make a long weekend out of it.


+1 - maybe its worth considering to make it for two days (=one weekend),
s.t. the flight is not longer than the meetup?


That can work. It would be two or three days vacation depending on 
flight schedules. It is certainly workable. And it would be a lot of fun 
to get together to discuss D and hack on projects. Not to mention a cool 
way to see new cities if it moves around. :)

It's a long haul for me, but I'd also be willing to hop over once 
a year beyond DConf. Good excuse for a vacation.

DLang quarterly EU?

I was speaking to Atila earlier about the things we like about 
DConf. Sitting around talking to a bunch of computer scientists 
is fantastic, and not something people generally get to do in 
their chosen careers as a programmer.
