I can tell you that DConf Asia is something the Foundation is
interested in. It's also something I plan to work toward
making happen eventually. We discussed this at our Seoul
meetup recently. What I need to know before anything can
happen is how large the Chinese and Japanese D communities are.
I guess the best place to start is to organise meetups in the
countries first to gauge interest and the size of the D
community in those countries, and then there can be some
communication between the local meetups aiming at organising a
more regional DConf?
As I understand it, they already have active D communities with
their own forums & blogs and probably meetups. Several of the D
blog posts have been translated to Japanese and the D_Programming
tweets are often retweeted by a Japanese account. We just need to
tap into those existing communities and find out their size,
composition, etc, and who can help us organize.
