digitalmars.D.announce - DConf 2017: Bigger, Badder, and Berliner! Call for Submissions now

Please join us at DConf 2017, the conference of the D programming 
language in Berlin, Germany, May 4-6 2017.

We're happy to announce that the D Language Foundation is cooperating 
again with Sociomantic to organize DConf 2017 in Berlin for the second 
time. Same location, same dates, but of course a whole new experience!

The D programming language has improved dramatically this year thanks to 
more focus brought up by the D Language Foundation, better participation 
from corporate users and worldwide volunteers, and the advent of 
world-class open-source libraries such as Sociomantic's Tsunami and Ilya 
Yaroshenko's GLAS. The D Language Foundation has accumulated a war chest 
and announced a scholarship that already enrolls four MSc students.

DConf is the main face-to-face event for everyone and everything related 
to the D language and environment. The 2017 edition will be held in 
Europe for the second time, following last year's smashing success. 
Which, of course, we plan to smash again!

Call for Submissions

We are looking forward to your submission for a paper, talk, demo, 
panel, or research report (new!) for DConf 2017. The topics of choice 
are anything and everything related to the D language. For more details, 
check the conference page:

It would be less confusing if the dates were updated with more attention than just s/2016/2017/g, as there's no February 29 in 2017, and all others dates are on different days of week than in 2016. Otherwise, excellent news.

Great news! A couple of js, svg and png files are missing. I tried to raise an issue in dconf.org at Github but it seems issues are disabled. I tried force reload on Mac OSX Chrome but the issue persists. Hope someone can verify the issue. Seems it could not be reported at issues.dlang.org. Hope dlang.org could also be updated with the news. Filed an issue at https://issues.dlang.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16693 Thanks!

Yes, there is work left to do on the site. We need a conference logo, too. For now: https://github.com/dlang/dconf.org/pull/141 -- Andrei

Until branding for the 2017 conf is sorted out/agreed would it be a big deal to 'steal' the cool purple D rocket branding from the 2016 site? (Changing the 6 to a 7 obviously). If you switch between the two pages ( 2016 vs 2017 ). 2017 currently looks distinctly spartan :-( http://dconf.org/2017 http://dconf.org/2016 Cheers, A.

I see this was pulled but no feedback as to whether it looked okay? Doesn't seem to have made its way into the Dconf 2017 site. Seriously I have no idea how my PR looks as I've not idea how to run ddoc. All I know is that the 2017 site as it stands could use a bit of love and I'm happy to help. Let me know :-) Cheers, A.

Thanks, Andy. Everyone - somebody really needs to take over dconf.org, if I don't delegate some stuff I have so many jobs and my schedule is so fragmented, I can't really appear to make progress on anything. Andrei
