The Fourth Annual Conference of the D Programming Language: DConf 2016

May 4 to May 6, 2016

Berlin, Germany

http://dconf.org/2016/

We have received many excellent submissions for DConf 2016, which made 
the selection process difficult. After long deliberations, the 
organizing committee is happy to announce we have a strong program 
featuring a mix of tutorials, advanced informational talks, experience 
reports, panels, and interviews that we hope would be of broad interest 
not within the D milieu, but also for prospective users and the broader 
software engineering community. Refer to http://dconf.org/2016/schedule 
for the full conference schedule.

The conference track contains 18 speakers, including the D language 
creator Walter Bright, language architect Andrei Alexandrescu, and D's 
build and release czar Martin Nowak. Leandro Lucarella will deliver a 
keynote covering the use of D at Sociomantic, a high-powered display 
advertising company built entirely on the D language. A combination of 
well-known and up-and-coming speakers completes the mix, check 
http://dconf.org/2016/speakers for details.

We encourage participation to DConf 2016 of all interested. Past edition 
attendees know that in addition to the excellent "official" technical 
content, the value multiplier of the conference is direct access to, and 
interaction with, colleagues, speakers, and luminaries of the industry. 
Attendance has doubled in size this edition, so gear up for three days 
of mind-blowing information, inspiration, and excitement.

Hope to see you there! Registration will be open through April 22, 2016 
but please hurry up as we might start pushing against venue limits soon.

Organizers

Walter Bright, The D Language Foundation
Ali Çehreli, The D Language Foundation, Riverbed
Andrei Alexandrescu, The D Language Foundation
Mihails Strasuns, Sociomantic

 DConf 2016


Looks like a great lineup of talks this year! I intend to watch 
almost all of them.

The "What Parnas72 Means for D" talk sounds interesting, but I 
think it needs an abstract for the abstract, or a TL;DR.

That was the "Extended Description" that I had submitted. The 
original "Abstract" section read:

David Parnas' 1972 seminal paper, "On the criteria to be used in 
decomposing systems into modules", set a milestone in our 
collective understanding of how complex programs should be 
divided into more manageable parts. Over forty years later, I 
have reimplemented in D the example programs presented in the 
paper and came away with insights that are not obvious from a 
more casual reading of that text. In this talk I will 1) present 
the original insight of the paper, using more modern language; 2) 
relate it to current design best practices and 3) argue, with the 
help of my implementation, that D best fulfilled the paper's 
original vision, even surpassing it.

Yes, that looks good. That's what should be on the DConf website.

I just realized today that a live stream is not going to be 
enjoyable for us who are still in the US.

Any chance that we can have a *scheduled* delay rebroadcast right 
when it ends? So basically starting at like 11am Eastern time, 
8am Pacific.

Heck, we might even play it a third time for people on the other 
side of the world too, but I'm asking for myself so jut the ne is 
good.


I want this coordinated and announced because then we can all be 
on together and have "live" chat without being up in the middle 
of the night to be live with the folks in Germany.

We basically dropped the ball last year entirely on the stream 
and had to improvise with laptop webcams from the conference 
itself... I'm hoping we can do a better job this time for 
everybody.

I hope so. The stream recording that was released on the fly was 
not good. I've remembered having watched the 5 first minutes of 
B.Schott exposee than finally I've waited the next month when the 
HQ videos came out. Anyway it was a great initiative and also an 
opportunity see John C. from near when he tuned the webcam 
position ... let's see...a bit the right, the axis is good... ^^

I am not sure this has much value. The main benefit of live stream is
that everyone can ask questions online and those will be forwarded to
speakers. Isn't it better to simply wait for recorded high quality
videos otherwise?

P.S. devs from Europe did indeed have to stay awake through the night to
watch previous dconfs ;)

If you're going to live stream it, can you do it through Twitch 
so it's archived for a couple of days for people who can't stay 
up?

livecoding.tv will archive it for a lot longer and unlike Twitch, we are 
friendly with them :)
