Hi everyone,


The call for proposals for DConf 2015 has had scarce response 
until now. Please consider submitting before the deadline on 
February 28.


There's a lot of interesting recent work on D that provides a 
rich basis for dissemination. Please consider submitting stuff 
you consider interesting. Even if you didn't create a specific 
artifact, if you are an expert in it you should consider 
presenting it with credit. (This is common at such events and 
has occurred in the past at DConf with great success - see e.g. 
Vladimir's excellent overview of Web tooling for D.)


Just like in the past editions, DConf depends on you - 
literally. DConf can only take place if it has enough valuable 
content. Please consider sharing your work.



Thanks,

Andrei


I didn't see it mentioned anywhere, so I presume there isn't any 
financial assistance for travel costs for speakers this year. Is 
that correct?

It'll be the same as usual - airplane/car/hotel

WHOA! That's a huge miscommunication on our part. Fixed.
