Hey guys,
we organize a conference (TopConf) this year for the first time
in Dusseldorf, Germany. I would like to see if there are
interested speakers to give a talk about D. The conference is
hold in English and is not specific to a single programming
language but will feature multiple different ones as well as
some more soft-skill like sessions / tracks.
I'm looking forward to see if there are interested people. The
CFP page is available here:

I'm tempted and will think about it.
Topic idea one: Dust off my "Functional Programming in D" [0]
talk. However, it is tight in 40 minutes for an audience, which
probably does not know D at all.
Topic idea two: A more general talk about abstractions. Starting
from the basics (procedures) up to Design-by-Introspection
techniques which are quite D specific. In between stuff like the
"magic" D Lua bindings. This topic is probably interesting for
C++ and Java programmers as well. Other TopConf talks and thus
the audience seem to be quite mainstream.
