digitalmars.D.announce - Upcoming talk at FOSDEM 2024 - The D Programming Language for Modern

reply Mike Shah <mshah.475 gmail.com> writes:
Hi D Community,

My talk on how I'm using the D programming language and why I 
think it is an excellent language choice for open source projects 
will be featured at FOSDEM 2024 at the start of February 2024 in 
Brussels, Belgium.

Look out for the official talk schedule(in the Main Track) here: 
https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/events/

If folks have a particular open source project they'd like me to 
highlight, please feel free to share here -- I'll do my best to 
figure out how to link a few projects in the presentation. I'll 
also be digging through previous announcements, discord, etc. 
where appropriate to otherwise link some projects to show off D 
during the presentation.

(The talk will otherwise provide an introduction to the D 
language -- it should be fun!)

Cheers,
Mike

Hi Mike are you sure the link is right, or you're on that list? - I tried "D Programming", your name (And only Surname) but I couldn't find anything. Matheus.

It looks like they have not yet pushed the update for the main track, but it should be there soon I hope. In the past the conference has live streamed or otherwise put recordings shortly after the talk on the schedule, and on YouTube.

The main track in that link is still empty. Here is a link for just the main track, also empty: https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/track/main/ You'd think the main track has been finalized by now (it is only 18 days until the start of the conference) and since all other rooms have plenty of entries already, this list being empty seems like a malfunction to me. -- Bastiaan.

Indeed might be a malfunction -- either way I'll post the final slides/talk here when completed 👍

If the talk is related to FOSS, probably it will be worth to mention: * GDC project. That D is a part of GCC family and can be easily used from this toolchain. * work of Brian Callahan about porting D to OpenBSD system. So D should work on FreeBSD and OpenBSD as well (not sure about NetBSD). * one more time mention that D has open source license for very long time (because sometimes I still can see in web - people mentioning closed source old issues).

Mike, If you want to show some applications written in D, I can offer the Eilmer compressible flow solver as an example. This year it will be ten years that we have been using D to build our flow solver. It has been a good ride. There is a blog entry from a couple of years back https://dlang.org/blog/2022/02/02/a-gas-dynamics-toolkit-in-d/ which is still a good starting point on why we like to write our code in D. You can also browse our main web site https://gdtk.uqcloud.net/ to get an idea of the current state of the project. Feel free to send an email if you want any flashy pictures for your presentation. The fellows here have been doing some impressive calculations in recent times. Regards, Peter Jacobs

Peter, I'd be happy to show Filmer -- if you have any flashy pictures please send them my way at mikeshah northeastern.edu. Otherwise I'll grab what I can from the website with a citation :)

Will close this announcement out with the link which now includes the slides, and in the future the video (and there should be a video on YouTube soon as well). https://fosdem.org/2024/schedule/event/fosdem-2024-2092-the-d-programming-language-for-modern-open-source-development/
