I’m looking forward to following DConf this week remotely, the 
next best thing to being there in person! I wish all presenters 
good luck and that the conference be fruitful to it’s attendees 
and dlang as a whole.


My best greetings to all that I met last year and I hope to see 
you at a future conference!


Bastiaan.

As always, I'm always looking for people who are interested in 
contributing, PRs welcome.


Finally a big thank you to Mike Wey who has continued to work 
on and evolve GtkD. Working on libraries is often behind the 
scenes work that doesn't get the appreciation it deserves.


I was struck by a recent reddit post on the gnome shell memory 
leak which involved C and javascript, it mentioned how 
difficult it is to merge two different memory models. Mike has 
managed this with aplomb in terms of integrating the Gtk 
reference counting into D's GC. So thanks Mike, your efforts 
are much appreciated!


Since I'm on Windows I sadly can't use it, but I suggested it to 
my colleagues - which are using Ubuntu - half a year ago and they 
use it since then and still love it. So keep up the good work! :)
