digitalmars.D.announce - DConf 2015 Second call for proposals

reply Andrei Alexandrescu <SeeWebsiteForEmail erdani.org> writes:
Hi everyone,


The call for proposals for DConf 2015 has had scarce response until now. 
Please consider submitting before the deadline on February 28.

There's a lot of interesting recent work on D that provides a rich basis 
for dissemination. Please consider submitting stuff you consider 
interesting. Even if you didn't create a specific artifact, if you are 
an expert in it you should consider presenting it with credit. (This is 
common at such events and has occurred in the past at DConf with great 
success - see e.g. Vladimir's excellent overview of Web tooling for D.)

Just like in the past editions, DConf depends on you - literally. DConf 
can only take place if it has enough valuable content. Please consider 
sharing your work.


Thanks,

Andrei

I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, so I presume there isn't any 
financial assistance for travel costs for speakers this year. Is 
that correct?

It'll be the same as usual - airplane/car/hotel

WHOA! That's a huge miscommunication on our part. Fixed.

And I'd argue that even if you aren't the expert you'd like to be on the
topic right now, a looming talk deadline is a great motivator to go figure
it all out.
(As long as you're confident it's something you *can* figure out in the
available time.)
