I am not sure I will be able to get to the D conference, but…

Should we be trying to create a D community in London/Brighton?

Should we be putting together training courses and getting Skills Matter
or someone to list them?

Russel, I have already planned a D workshop @ UCL for this year, 
but due to some circumstances it is going to be postponed for 
next year. :( There are few people interested in this and I hope 
by the time we are ready to do it we will have more.


The workshop will most likely be a part of the CREST Open 
Workshop programme - http://crest.cs.ucl.ac.uk/cow/ .


Kind regards

Given that now I've moved from the fields of Shropshire to a place

We aren't celebrating dmd here, we are celebrating the D programming

 I don't think FSF would be that picky. As Iain said, it's about 
the D language which is an open spec, and progress in the 
community as a whole. Afterall, if we were getting together to 
talk about AWK, they may contribute even considering a free 
version (Gawk) is available, and it isn't about which version you 
run at all. But the spec not being ANSI managed may provide some 
problems.


 I may get this wrong, but my understanding FSF's view (and 
spirit thereof) is about keeping the freedom; IE: Learning from 
eachother (be it mistakes or otherwise), enable the willingness 
to fix (or offer fixes), and allow you to improve any given piece 
of software with no personal or financial gain from it, out of 
only the love and want to help the community as a whole.

Yah. On the other hand corporate sponsors tend to move slower. Hopefully 
we'll find more of those. (One platinum sponsorship was initiated by a 
private investor.)


The key to doing good now is to let people know through all channels

Looking at the graph and excluding the super-villains (who are they?)
the current pool seems close to empty.

We currently have one generous $5K contribution from Andrew Edwards (an
enlisted US Marine) and another one from Sociomantic.com. Since Andrew
is not competing for branding or recruiting, we're considering offering
one extra Kryptonite slot should we receive requests.

Excluding the large contributions is actually not indicative because
most conferences actually finance via sponsorships.

There will probably be an end spurt if the goals seems in sight, but as
it stand I don't see this happening.

The way I see it, we have 16 firm early bird attendees, and we're six
corporate sponsorships away from reaching our goal. We must make this
happen.

One thing we could all do is to mention the conference to our recruiting
managers. This is a golden opportunity to recruit straight in the Bay
Area. A contribution as simple as offering a conference room for three
days would mean huge goodwill in the D community for next to no cost to
the company.

My reason for not having pledged:
Too expensive: flight + ticket.
I will pledge 100$ if that would mean videos.

Understood. Note that if you submit a talk proposal, it's possible (no
promise though at this point) we'd be able to defray transportation costs.

I have experience as a live lighting/audio/video engineer and 
also did a few smaller film jobs, so I guess I could help out 
with handling the recording things. I don't personally have much 
equipment, though, and bringing more than say a sound card, a 
pair of good headphones and the odd adapter (and maybe an Eos 5D 
and a couple of lenses for some additional shots?) on an overseas 
trip is probably not worth the hassle.


This is all assuming that I'll actually be able to make it to 
DConf, though…

If we're to film the conference, we'll make it available online for 
free. No disks, no DRM, no red tape - that's for sure.


The advantage of paying to be at the conference is, well, being there, 
and also the timeliness (we may upload the videos later, which is common 
practice).


Do you plan to be there? If we can count on you taking care of 
reasonable-quality recordings, please let me know.

There is a change on the project page: :)

"Late-Breaking News: Smile, You're On Camera!

It's confirmed - through volunteer support, the conference 
talks will be recorded and posted on the Net for free! We're 
preparing diligently to ensure professional quality recordings. 
One more reason to pledge even if for those of you who can't be 
there!"


Ali


That probably should be posted as an Update in kickstarter (not 
just a change to the main page)...

Update - we've crossed $20K! At this point we're one major backer away 
from achieving the goal, and we're looking at a number of options. 
Please share with your friends and coworkers, and bring the discussion 
up with your employer's managers and recruiters. It should be an easier 
case to make now that among 107 backers we have sold out 20 early bird 
seats and 3 sponsorships before even having published a conference program.


We will make this happen!

I was about to donate, but after creating the accounts I found 
out paying is only possible with a credit card.
Is there another way I can donate $25 (or $50+ if you can send a 
shirt to the EU)?
