I encourage everyone to apply for visa as soon as possible. US 
visa process can be frustratingly delayed depending on many 
unknown factors.

We've lost speakers in the past due to visa delays. I agree that it's never too 
early to get this done.

Many thanks to UVU and especially its Computer Science Department
Chair, Chuck Allison, who was instrumental in making this happen.


Awesome!

Questions:

1) There will be no kickstarter this year?


No.


2) I'm from another country, and I'd like to participate/attend this
year, do you already know about prices for tickets etc? (And this will
be a good excuse to take my visa!). :D


We haven't yet decided. If you fly from outside North America, travel 
costs may likely dominate.

We're happy to announce the first sponsor of DConf 2015: Utah Valley 
University. In addition to providing conference venue, UVU will cover 
room rental fees and simplify logistics and paperwork.

This is great news, and hopefully a precedent to be followed.


Thanks,
