There should unquestionably be a presentation at BoostCon about it. I think I'll go, and would at the very least like to help. Is anybody else going, and are they interested in collaborating? There is obviously lots to talk about. Choosing a direction would be tough, but I think it should focus the things that are new in v3 over v2. I think an end-user-centric talk would be more valuable than a talk about implementation details (despite how much fun it would be to give such a talk). So I'm thinking about a talk on AST manipulation a-la Scheme macros. There is evidence that there is already excitement about this topic.[*] Thoughts? This is definitely a very good idea. There hasn't been any talks on lambda nor phoenix yet. I'm not sure I could come this time around, but I'm definitely interested in helping out on the talk structure. Even if we focus on the end-user, the scope is still very broad. How basic would it be? Would it start as a tutorial on lambda expressions, going through phoenix-esque extensions, then advance to more advanced subjects like AST manipulation a-la Scheme macros?

I would be happy to help here.

[*] http://cplusplus-soup.com/2010/07/23/lisp-macro-capability-in-c/ I'll be in the front row! I agree that a user-centric talk makes the most sense; however, if you are able to get multiple slots then a second talk about the wizardry would be wonderful. More precisely, talking about the design choices made and the implementation techniques utilized would be a an excellent segment for those who aspire to be more than users and wanting to expand their understanding and skills. I was petitioning (for selfish purposes) last year for a session that looked under the hood of a library and discussed the design, implementation and tricks of the trade. Alas, I was unable (even with bribery of homemade chocolate chip cookies and free pizza) to find someone knowledgeable enough who could pull off the task and willing to sign up. Two years back we had a number of "author's corner" sessions which were wonderful. But at 45-minutes they mostly left me wanting to know more about some of the implementation details.
