Re: Last week for DConf 2015 submissions
+1 for the compiler-dev table. I'd be happy to take part on that.

I just simply didn't get around to writing them up in between all the science going on here yet. Okay, my last week was … interesting, but I hope I just managed to send one of the proposals barely inside the deadline (my wall clock read 8.59 AM CET). If it turns out that you still need to fill a slot in the conference timetable after allocating all the talks, I'd be happy to send you the second one too (50 min talk on Dash, the D Compiler Performance Tracker). I figured it wouldn't send it after the deadline, because either you'd just ignore it, or it would be unfair towards the earlier submitters. I agree with the others about a compiler dev panel or round table discussion being a good idea. If I'll be in Orem, I'll be happy to participate. — David

Send in a proposal for it then. I did one for a round table. Which would most likely have overlap. Because this is a general proposal and the number of people associated with it must be later determined, biography is being left out. The topics that will be discussed are unknown at this point, so keywords will also be left out. Title: How Does D Fend? Kind: Round table Target audience: Beginners and those on the fence Abstract: Majority of talks at DConf 2015 are aimed at those who are already in the D community. A round table for those who are not entirely vested should enable those that are not to ask questions and get answers from a range of people. An example of this is (Richard Cattermole) who has got good solid knowledge of Compile Time Function Execution of code in the D language. Along side others including: dmd and phobos contributes. Others from e.g. vibe.d and even students from UVU would give full range of skill level a chance to talk about a topic. Extended description: The round table discussion could take a very long time and each topic discussed could in turn be long drawn out. From this a set time limit per topic should be attached. The time limit chosen should be determined based upon the entire given time allocated for the round table. Each topic is discussed in three stages. Introduction, what does everyone know about the topic? Discussion, discuss between the members issues and future potential for the topic Summary, most members should be able to agree what the current state and future potential lies. Giving an answer to the person who asked the question. Primarily a time limit should be placed upon the discussion. Introduction and summary being so fundamental it should not have it on it. The choosing of questions should be done by somebody who is not on the round table. They should gather it from a range of locations. The live stream chat, Twitter and live audience are the most common ones. The audience should be open for non DConf visitors. At the very least UVU staff and students. UVU students should be part of the round table.

I think they should be able to, it would be good exposure to them and give us some fresh people too. I agree, they should be given free passes. Especially if they contribute by e.g. being on a round table discussion. I asked Andrei before hand if there has already been one and there hasn't been yet. FYI, when I submit my proposal most likely today. I'll be including a round table discussion proposal with it.

Just letting a group of people talk about, based upon some input could lead to some very interesting discussions. Perhaps we could get some UTU students involved with it? Even if they are not terribly interested in D, it would provide excellent input.

I'll add that a LOT of you are working on projects that are of great interest to the community. A presentation at DConf is a great way to get the word out about it. We're also interested in case histories of using D at work.

Hi folks, At this point we don't have enough submissions to make DConf 2015 viable. Those we have are of good quality, but simply put more are needed. We're counting on our core community (i.e. frequent contributors to this forum) to both participate and spread the news about the conference. The call for submissions closes at the end of day of February 27 (this coming Friday). Speakers get travel reimbursement. If you are using D and have something interesting to share, a DConf 2015 submission is the single best thing to do for D and its community. http://dconf.org/2015/index.html Thanks, Andrei
