Please join us at DConf 2016, the conference of the D programming 
language in Berlin, Germany, May 4-6 2016.

We're very very excited to hold DConf under Sociomantic's sponsorship in 
their neck of the woods—Berlin, one of Europe's premier technology 
hotbeds. Sociomantic has been a long-time supporter and user of D and 
we're grateful to benefit of their hosting.

The D programming language has continued to grow strongly through 2015 
in both use and development participation. The fledgling D Language 
Foundation is poised to lead and organize the community better than ever 
before. DConf is the main face-to-face event for everyone and everything 
related to the D language and environment. The 2016 edition will be held 
in premiere in Europe, on the heels of strong D adoption throughout the 
Old Continent. We're gearing for our largest event yet!

Call for Submissions

We are looking forward to your submission for a paper, talk, demo, or 
panel for DConf 2016. The topics of choice are anything and everything 
related to the D language. For more details, check the conference page:

Awesome! I have a few ideas for talks, but I might flesh out the 
associated projects some more before submitting my proposals. 
Looking forward to it :)

The logo looks nice, but it doesn't seem to be evocative of D. I think there 
needs to be a theme to it, like "D saves the world", "D is cool tech", "D makes 
money for business", "D is the choice of cutting edge programmers", "D is the

I think simplicity works better for a logo, moving any small details into
the background.  Using this kind of tactic I think works well - for
instance, a lot of people still wear their DConf 2012 shirts on a weekly
basis.

Not saying you should re-use this design, but notice how the 'DConf' logo
is the most unremarkable part of it. :-)

My 2 cents: The D Conference logo should be reminiscent of the D logo, as
should the D Foundation logo. Since the D Foundation is only just
established there is an opportunity to redesign the current logos for all
three, and in so doing also draw attention to the fact that the D
Foundation has been established.

Most, if not all the logos that have stood the test of time are simple,
clean and are easily recognizable in almost any size.
The base of the current D logo fits these specs I think.

Unless I'm misunderstanding, DConf logo aren't intended to be 
reused over years.

They don't need to stand the test of time like the D logo (which 
is a topic already discussed at length, let's not derail), so it 
was my understanding it could be a bit more "unsafe".

Yeah, I was thinking more along the lines that; at a glance it should be
apparent that this is the same D as dlang.org, not that it should be the
exact same. There must be some awesome things that are specific to Berlin,
and possibly D in Berlin which could be used for the creative process.

There are a couple of buildings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Architecture_in_Berlin

The primary sponsor is Sociomantic could there be some creative inspiration
there?
https://www.sociomantic.com/blog/2014/06/top-10-ways-to-make-the-most-of-summer-sociomantic-style/#.VjIVyHwrLn0

These things can be used as inspiration I don't mean to distract or detract
from your work, more like a friend of the community giving input that
no-one has given as yet.

Cheers,
-Rory

Many thanks to both you and ponce! This is great work.

I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we won't likely be able 
to accept either of these proposals.

The good news is Sociomantic wants to get behind the DConf logo design, 
more generally behind the dconf.org site design, and even more generally 
get more involved in helping the Foundation and the language. It will 
take their design team a bit longer to get things done, but they want to 
do it right.

There's been considerable back and forth between Sociomantic and 
ourselves before choosing this path. One concern was that corporate 
intervention risks to stifle individual contributions such as Jonas' and 
ponce's. We concluded that we've been roughing it long enough so a bit 
of structured help is welcome.

I am very sorry your work will not be used for the conference site. My 
hope is this decision will help the greater good.


Thanks,

Andrei

Hey, no problem. The site wasn't quite good enough anyway and 
it's good to see Sociomantic endorsing D to that extent.

 Yes please! Forgot to mention that. Many thanks!! -- Andrei

 Many thanks to both you and ponce! This is great work.

 I have good news and bad news. The bad news is we won't likely be able to
 accept either of these proposals.

 The good news is Sociomantic wants to get behind the DConf logo design,
 more generally behind the dconf.org site design, and even more generally
 get more involved in helping the Foundation and the language. It will take
 their design team a bit longer to get things done, but they want to do it
 right.


Does the design team know this yet?  :-)

If they do, and they are long-body t-shirts, is there any chance of
people buying them who will not be able to be at the conference?

On the face of it any publicly available information can be posted to 
social news outlets by anyone. Apply good judgment to what's considered 
newsworthy etc. Then of course there are better times than others to 
post news (PST mornings are better, workdays are better, and Monday is 
better).

I'll think of refinements, but by and large if I announce it here, 
announce everywhere.

 There's been considerable back and forth between Sociomantic and
 ourselves before choosing this path. One concern was that corporate
 intervention risks to stifle individual contributions such as Jonas' and
 ponce's. We concluded that we've been roughing it long enough so a bit
 of structured help is welcome.

 I am very sorry your work will not be used for the conference site. My
 hope is this decision will help the greater good.


 Thanks,

 Andrei


Well! About that: after talking things through with Sociomantic today, 
we thought it's best if we let the community design the DConf logo. 
Sociomantic's designers are quite busy through the end of the year, and 
the extant proposals aren't half bad.

Sociomantic continues to be unwavering in its support for DConf and The 
D Language Foundation. They will design the T-shirts and the welcome 
package for the conference.

So, while I'm away (I'll be traveling for most of this week), please 
let's vote on the two DConf logo proposals and choose one for 
http://dconf.org.


Thanks,

Andrei

 Please join us at DConf 2016, the conference of the D programming


language in Berlin, Germany, May 4-6 2016.

 We're very very excited to hold DConf under Sociomantic's sponsorship in


their neck of the woods=E2=80=94Berlin, one of Europe's premier technology =
hotbeds.
Sociomantic has been a long-time supporter and user of D and we're grateful
to benefit of their hosting.

 The D programming language has continued to grow strongly through 2015 in


both use and development participation. The fledgling D Language Foundation
is poised to lead and organize the community better than ever before. DConf
is the main face-to-face event for everyone and everything related to the D
language and environment. The 2016 edition will be held in premiere in
Europe, on the heels of strong D adoption throughout the Old Continent.
We're gearing for our largest event yet!

 Call for Submissions

 We are looking forward to your submission for a paper, talk, demo, or


panel for DConf 2016. The topics of choice are anything and everything
