We're stoked about DConf 2014! 54 visitors will be joined by 10 Facebook 
engineers for a great three-day event.

James Pearce (https://twitter.com/jamespearce), Facebook's Open Source 
representative, graciously accepted to emcee the conference.

We have secured livestreaming of the entire event. I'll be glad to take 
questions on Twitter in real time during my keynote, Wendnesday May 21, 
9:00-10:00 AM PST. Send your questions to  D_Programming with hashtag 
#dconf.

Tolga Cakiroglu put together a beautiful T-shirt design - even our 
recruiters and the folks at the printing company were impressed.

We're also happy to announce that Facebook will throw a Happy Hour with 
food and drinks on Thursday, May 22, between 5:30 and 7:30 PM.

We haven't yet filled the Lightning Talks 
(http://dconf.org/2014/talks/lightning.html), please send me a note if 
you're interested in talking for 5-10 minutes on anything you believe is 
interesting and relevant.


See you soon!

This is very good news, I will follow that with great interest !

Can we have a look at the t-shirt design ? I also would be very 
glad if I can buy/print one to show my banner ;)

Any specific instructions for the speakers, are people meeting up 
in the Aloft beforehand somewhere, or do I just turn up to 
Facebook, say "DConf" and it'll be fine?

+1 especially since I'll probably be coming in somewhat late 
(likely about 10:00ish) on Friday

You need to say the secret keyword at the door. Or alternatively bring
doughnuts (in the D shape).

You didn't get your all-access backstage pass yet? Mine came 2 weeks ago.  
You should probably email Andrei.

On a serious note, I remember last year there was an interesting  
disconnect between people's real names and their "online" names. I spoke  
with numerous people for quite a while before I realized who they really  
are (I'm looking at you, deadalnix)

Would it be possible to have a separate space on the nametags for  
"handles"?

It's going to be funny seeing:

"Walter Bright"
"a.k.a. Walter Bright"

On a related note, when I was a youngen and was just discovering
internet chat my nickname was... wait for it... "the_andrej".

And believe it or not, there was a chatters hangout in real-life once
and I actually wore this name tag. It was a proper metal tag with
embedded (carved out) letters too. Good times..

I think you should produce a video at the conferee with all the
attendants wearing a Walter Bright mask and simulating a Q&A section all
saying "walter bright" all the time.

THAT MUST HAPPEN

All of that on a name tag? Inconceivable!

Please drive to Facebook's address (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025). 
Once you turn to campus, follow signs to Building 15. Once at the 
building entrance, go to the folks at security and say "DConf 2014". 
You'll sign a standard NDA to enter the campus. A person will accompany 
you to the conference room.
