DConf Online 2020 Videos Re-edited
A couple of months back I started work on cutting down the DConf Online 2020 Q & A videos that I had uploaded to the D Language Foundation's YouTube channel. For the original uploads, I simply cut them out of the live stream, added a title and some fades, then uploaded with no edits. A few months later I realized how silly that was thanks to a user comment. There was too much dead air and a good bit of irrelevant chatter. YouTube doesn't allow a video to be replaced once it's uploaded---each new upload gets a unique URL. So I was hoping to get them edited in place via YouTube's built-in editor, but after learning of a couple of longstanding bugs (one of which hit me), I abandoned that idea. The DLF took a vote and I got the greenlight to upload new videos and remove the old ones. And so I began chipping away at the originals to cut them down and keep them focused on the actual Q & A bits. This has resulted in much shorter videos, close to 40 minutes shorter in a couple of cases. Today I finally uploaded and published the last one. All of them are available via [the DConf Online 2020 Q & A playlist][1] (you can recognize them by the (v2.0) in their titles).

P.S. I'm old enough to still be amazed by having a video conference with people all over the world, and for free! Don't we live in incredible times?

One More DConf Online 2020 Schedule Adjustment
In the course of scheduling the video premieres on our YouTube channel, I learned that YouTube only offers time options on the hour and every quarter hour after. Since a few of the talks were listed on the website schedule as starting at :10, :20, or :40, I've had to adjust them 5-minutes back or ahead. The affected talks are: Nov 21 Alexandru Militaru: from 17:20 UTC to 17:15 Mathias Lang: from 19:10 UTC to 19:15 Nov 22 Mathis Beer: from 15:20 UTC to 15:15 Ali Çehreli: from 16:40 UTC to 16:45 Stefan Koch: from 19:20 UTC to 19:15 I've got a blog post coming shortly describing how to participate, with all the necessary links.
DConf Online 2020 #BeerConf
Hi all, DConf Online is still DConf, so there still must be a BeerConf. And since it's online, we can run it all weekend! The virtual BeerConf space will be open from the evening (UTC) of Friday, November 20 and will be continuously open all weekend to anyone who wants to join. Despite the name, no alcohol is required to participate. As long as you have a connected device, a web browser, a microphone, and an optional webcam, you're invited to come on in and participate in this annual DConf tradition. The time that we are looking to kick things off is at 18:00 UTC on Friday 20th. Another announcement will be made on the day with details for joining the online meeting. Stay safe, and see you all there!

Another DConf Online 2020 Schedule Change
Now that we know exactly how long the talks are, we found the need to fill some dead space for a video shorter than expected and reclaim some extra post-talk Q & A space for a video that turned out longer than expected. So we shuffled the schedule around a bit to make it happen. The biggest change is that Alexandru Militaru's talk has been moved from 19:20 UTC on Sunday to 15:20 UTC on Saturday. Other than that, the start of Ali and Robert's talks on Saturday have been moved to slightly earlier times (14:45 UTC and 16:00 UTC, respectively), and Stefan's talk on Sunday is back in its original 19:20 UTC slot. https://dconf.org/2020/online/index.html#schedule

First of all, this is nothing like the LDC situation. That was something I absolutely should have contacted someone about, and when I was made aware of my mistake I apologized for it. My inbox is a graveyard of unanswered emails. I can't count off the top of my head the things that have been delayed or that have never happened because of that. So in the interest of getting things done, when someone wants to put a bounty on an open issue, if I judge it to be a simple contribution (i.e., something that isn't dependent on existing work, or doesn't require special consideration/permission, etc) then I'm not going to email anyone about it. The very first step on this bounty is to summarize the commits for a changelog. I don't need to contact anyone for that. The last step is to ensure that a release tag is made. That means anyone pursuing the bounty would have to contact one of the maintainers at some point. Again, it's a simple contribution, so I treated it as I would any other open issue. My mistake was assuming that because it's an open issue, it still hasn't been resolved. Had I checked the release tags and the dates, I would have seen that a release has since been made.

Thanks! So yes, I will close the bounty and ask the donor where he wants me to direct the cash.

Tagging was never a problem as registry is/was building fine from master: https://github.com/dlang/dub-registry/releases/tag/v2.4.0 There are not so many tags because the registry is in maintenance mode and critical bug fixes are often directly deployed from master. Anyhow, the real problem is that no one except Sönke has access to the registry server for deploying a release and the DLF at least in the past wasn't interested in paying for the registry server(s) themselves, s.t. they could be setup in such a way that multiple people have access to it. I do _not_ want the bounty and while I appreciate that people want to support the D ecosystem, I do not understand why we put up a bounty to run "git tag" which would have no impact as deployment is the issue. IMHO we should address the real issues (registry lacking features + registry deployment).

We've added a "lightning talk" to the DConf Online 2020 schedule.

The talk is taking the 19:20 UTC slot on November 22, and Stefan Koch's talk has been moved to 19:50. https://dconf.org/2020/online/index.html#schedule DConf 2019 talk: http://dconf.org/2019/talks/militaru.html An anonymous donor has seeded a new Task Bounty with $400.

What fun, I can record video but not audio, deadline slips again

A couple during the extended week, a couple at the deadline, and a couple of people who had offered to do something if there weren't enough submissions.

What do you think ? -- Seems interesting! But the purpose of requiring video submissions is to make sure that everyone who submits a talk is set up to record it. We need to get an idea not only of the content, but that you are set up for screencasting (for the slides) and that there are no obvious issues with your basic setup. We want to catch any of those (such as poor audio quality) before you sit down and put together a full talk. So please submit this as a video. No need for a camera even. A screencast with your voice is fine.
Re: DConf Online 2020 Submission Deadline Extended
On Monday, 31 August 2020 at 08:36:09 UTC, Mike Parker wrote So send me your <= 5-minute videos describing your talks, folks! I can give you a written submission, but not yet a written one. This would be my first D conf even as an attendee. Have seen videos of previous sessions, and wanted to go in person this year, but the pandemic put paid to that. Since I am not yet a professional programmer, have been doing it on and off during a long illness, I expect that this will be a low level, and rather short talk; anyway here goes... Coding Kata's in D In this talk,I intend to show how some very basic features of D make the programmer's life easier and the programmer more efficient, no objects, no recursion, and only a little maths. The problem I present, an example of finite integration, is taken from the Code and Coffee mailing list of the Codewars website. If you are not familiar with finite integration, or more likely call it something else, a little explanation. Lets say we have some apparatus that is generating some signals at a regular interval that we know the values of and the, constant time between. We also have a theory that describes how the signal starts when the apparatus is switched on and how, given a small sample of the signal in the past, what we expect the signal to be in the near future. Given U at t=0, we want to predict what U is at any time, and confirm the theory or reject it. The kata goes something like this;- The apparatus gives us the following signals shortly after powering up n=0, U=1 n=1 U=2 then some time, much later, n=17 U=131072 n=21 U=2097152 We have a theory that relates one signal to the previous signal of this form. 6U[n]U[n+1]-5U[n]U[n+2]+U[n+1]U[n+2] = 0 What is the signal at any integer valued time between n = 1 and n = 17. We can do this with only a little algebra, no recursion, and certainly not too much confusion. We re-arrange the theory in the form U[n]=f(U[something]) We write the program using automatic programming. Then the surprise at the end is that the theory is much simpler than it looks. What do you think ? -- Yours Darren Drapkin

Anyone here who considered submitting but didn't, would you share why not? I might have done so, but the pandemic has increased my workload so much that my major decisions now involve deciding which parts of my job I can't do. Adding something else to the todo list is a pre-pandemic concept. That said, I will be recording videos that involve the use of D, it's just that they'll be very specialized applications for my grad students rather than some of interest to a general audience.

But on the other hand, between my self-loathing and procrastination, I probably won't record a talk video either so maybe it is an accurate filter. One of the "we'll do it live!" options are a bit more appealing but I still don't even know what I'd talk about anyway. Like I could probably code a website or something but idk, I've been meaning to do that for the written blog as well and haven't gotten around to it and with the baby only like a week or two away now, no promises I will by November at all.

DConf Online 2020 (Soft Announcement)
DConf Online 2020 is on! https://dconf.org/2020/online/index.html Please note that this is a soft announcement. Please don't share the website or the announcement on social media just yet. I want to have a chance to revise the details if needed before we do that. I'll publish a blog post next week with a more formal announcement and will share that to the world at large. Some brief notes about how we currently envision things: * Pre-recorded talks will be scheduled to premiere at specific times on our YouTube channel on Saturday and Sunday. * Speakers in the pre-recorded talks will need to be available for a livestream Q & A session that will run in parallel to the talk and for an additional 15 minutes beyond. We'll monitor multiple sources in addition for questions (the chat in the video premier, the Q & A livestream chat, slack, discord, IRC). * If you have ever done any livecoding and enjoy it, please consider proposing a session for DConf. I'll set up a restreamer so that you can stream to both your channel of preference and the foundation's YouTube channel. You'll need to know ahead of time what your goals for the session are and how you'll achieve them. If we can have at least one session per day, we'll be very happy. * We'll have at least one livestreamed panel (the traditional Ask use Anything) and are eagerly looking for interesting panel ideas. * I'm hoping to convince a handful of people to organize and run a #BeerConf starting the day before the conference (Friday the 20th) and going through Sunday. * Currently planning to kick off around 3:00 PM UTC on Saturday and Sunday so that folks on the US West Coast don't have to get up before sunrise to participate. Those of us in Asia will have to make do. As the web page says, after the event we'll be launching a new playlist on the foundation's YouTube channel (The D Community Presents). It's our goal to accept as many of the DConf submissions as possible since we aren't physically constrained by time and space. We want to post *every* pre-recorded talk to YouTube. Those we don't select to premiere for the conference we can instead post once a week to the new playlist afterward. And we'll continue to accept submissions to the playlist as time goes by. And yes, we hope to make this an annual event. Real-world DConf in May, online DConf in November. Please let me know if anything about the submission process is unclear and I'll update the page. I do not want to post details about the process of prepping the videos; I'm reserving that for those who are actually accepted. And I'm holding off on the details of exactly how we'll be doing the livestreaming, as that may change. We'll make some test runs to ensure that everything we want to do actually works and I'll update the page as we get closer to the dates.
