Not to mention the research papers that every now and then come out regarding how to improve JIT in dynamic languages or doing source control in image based systems. FOSDEM has been hosting Smalltalk for quite a few years now. -- Paulo

Re: FOSDEM'15 - let us propose a D dev room!!!
I think I will attend anyway as a casual visitor, can have an informal D meetup at least.

Being the largest European Open Source Conference, FOSDEM takes place in Brussels and attracts with more than 400 lectures every year over 5000 hackers - many core contributors of the worlds leading open source projects. FOSDEM 2015 will take place on Saturday 31 January and Sunday 1 February 2015. I had a talk about LDC in the LLVM dev room this year (https://archive.fosdem.org/2014/schedule/event/ldccompiler/) which was much fun. The call for participation is now announced! (https://fosdem.org/2015/news/2014-07-01-call-for-participation/) I think we should propose a D dev room for FOSDEM'15. Besides being a nice place to meet some D people, this would also give us a lot of attention in the open source world. There is always press about this event. What needs to be done? We have to submit a proposal for a dev room until September 15. If the proposal is accepted then we should have a call for papers, keynotes, lightning talks etc. From these proposals the schedule has to be created. The schedule should be published around January, I guess. From my understanding, the main team organizes the rooms, beamers, video recording etc. In order to distribute the work a small team (3 persons?) will be needed. What do you think? Anybody willing to help me to create the proposal and the schedule and moderate the event? If the dev room proposal will be accepted I really like to see Walter and Andrei as keynote speakers!!! Regards, Kai Sounds very interesting, it is a good opportunity to effectively do small european DConf without bothering about many of organizational details. I will forward this to colleagues and report shortly.

What needs to be done by September the 15th deadline? Thank you! The proposal must be submitted by this time. The annoucement states: Developer room proposals should be emailed to devro...@fosdem.org and be as detailed as possible. In particular, coordinators should indicate their affinity with the topic being proposed and provide a rough idea of the content they plan to schedule. IMHO the content can be talks, ranging from user experience to technical topics or how to participate. Or something like a live discussion (to GC or not to GC ;-) ). To get as much input as possible from the community, I would start a call for talks here after the proposal is accepted. If you look at the LLVM dev room: they had 11 talks of different length and an introduction. Maybe this could guide us... Regards, Kai
