digitalmars.D.announce - Strange Loop Conference Call for Presentations

This edition seems to be a very good fit for us. From the page: 
"Frequently accepted topics: functional programming, logic programming, 
dynamic/scripting languages, new or emerging languages, data structures, 
concurrency, databases, distributed computing, web frameworks, web 
architecture, performance, virtual machines, security, hardware/software 
interaction, historical topics"

I encourage all DConf session speakers (including the ones we couldn't 
accept - all were very good!) to submit their talks to Strange Loop.

That conference had a strange incident last year where they kicked a guy out for his political views, that had nothing to do with his technical talk: http://www.slate.com/articles/technology/bitwise/2015/06/curtis_yarvin_booted_from_strange_loop_it_s_a_big_big_problem.html I personally wouldn't attend any conference that applied such strange principles.

Speaking and unintrusively poking fun at the self-righteousness (by a variable name for example) would also be effective.
