DConf 2013 canceled; hoping for DConf 2014
Hello everyone -- Early bird DConf 2013 has ended yesterday, March 31st, so we made a headcount at this milestone. Unfortunately we could not muster enough attendance to keep the conference going - only 19 people confirmed aside from speakers. This forces us to cancel DConf 2013. We will issue refunds for the flights and hotels of the speakers who made them. However, we won't refund Kickstarter contributions as we hope to use them for DConf 2014. We are sorry for not being able to gather enough interest in the D programming language at this time. Andrei

Andrei I guess it's a late April's fool joke ? ;) For me it's about 50 minutes of 2nd April here anyway. Terribly nervous :) -- Dmitry Olshansky
Justin Bieber booked for Dconf 2013!
I know you are all Bieber fans, so you'll be please to know he will be doing the Keynote. I happily cede the slot to him. (P.S. Bieber has been an undercover D coder for quite a while, though he has been posting under a pseudonym. You all know him as deadalnix.)

All - register and let your friends know about it before we sell out! Andrei

Oh, well, everyone can just stay at home enjoying their Gmail Blue[1], hunting for treasure on Maps [2], and the never-ending reading of Best YouTube nominees [3].

As much as I'd like to feign ignorance of who this Justin Bieber fella is, I have to tip my hat to this truly hilarious announcement :) It's also funny how this came right *after* the DConf cancelled one ;) Coming next year: Coordinated no-race-condition pranks!
