I have a couple of ideas as well but this virus has changed not only routines but motivation as well. I am so much behind on so many things. :/ Luckily, there is still a lot of time... hours even... :o) Ali
Re: Symmetry Investments and the D Language Foundation are Hiring

Not only is Symmetry Investments hiring D programmers, they are also generously funding two positions for ecosystem work under the D Language Foundation. And they've put up a bounty for a new DUB feature. Read all about it here: https://dlang.org/blog/2020/08/30/symmetry-investments-and-the-d-language-foundation-are-hiring/ One other thing that hashing enables is caching builds. So if you build, then change a file, then build again, and then revert the file again it would be great if the next build just restored the cached build from the very first build. The less time spent waiting on builds, the better.

A random user set it up and tries to push it but there's not much activity. Part of it is like Facebook being too much distraction for me. But I go there from time to time. And Slack? That's more used by like dconf coordinators. The places new people come on for chat is just the irc and the discord. I personally use discord (only recently) and slack (local community) but there're Facebook people too. All have their different feel and audience.

You wouldn't think that flying to London would be more effort than making a video, but it wouldn't surprise me. Or right now maybe people are keeping their ideas for the next in-person DConf, so if Corona keeps up we'd see more talks next year. You know what, let's ask. Anyone here who considered submitting but didn't, would you share why not? Adam said he doesn't know what to talk about. Part of me is like what could one talk about that's any interesting 😂.

But on the other hand, between my self-loathing and procrastination, I probably won't record a talk video either so maybe it is an accurate filter. One of the "we'll do it live!" options are a bit more appealing but I still don't even know what I'd talk about anyway. Like I could probably code a website or something but idk, I've been meaning to do that for the written blog as well and haven't gotten around to it and with the baby only like a week or two away now, no promises I will by November at all.
