 The timezones being so different, I'm not sure livestreaming will help
 me... But I do plan to watch any videos of it as soon as they are up.

It's the same problem for all Europeans (and many other), including me.
I'm also looking forward to the videos, but I think livestreaming is a
good thing for those who are able to follow them.

Hi folks,


We at Facebook are very excited about the upcoming DConf 2014. 
In fact, so excited we're considering livestreaming the event 
for the benefit of the many of us who can't make it to Menlo 
Park, CA. Livestreaming entails additional costs so we're 
trying to assess the size of the online audience. Please follow

Will that also mean that we won't need to wait several months for 
all videos to be published? :)

If you use a Google hangout on air with a laptop that is pointing at the
presenter, I don't see much extra cost, except perhaps the cost of the
bandwidth(free?).

You probably even put a link on the dlang website that opens the hangout,
with a different hangout for each session. If you are wanting to delay
access to the videos you would have to go onto your youtube channel and
make the videos private after the live streaming.

This is an interesting point. If memory serves last time one 
video was released per week, meaning that reddit/hn readers could 
properly digest and discuss them in turn.


You'll have to assume that someone will rip the livestream and 
publish it all the very same day.

Better record the livestream then!
