Heads up, Jitsi has started to require a moderator to be present, I have 
no additional information apart from what it asked me when I joined.


So we may need someone else to step up during it to become one by 
logging in, we'll see what the changes entail.

Holy smokes! I just looked at the calendar, and the last full 
weekend in September is a week from Saturday. So I'm a bit late 
announcing this one (again), but the beerconf this month will 
be Sept 23-24.


Just a reminder this is happening in 2 days!

# BEERCONF!

This month, beerconf is going to be happening without me, unfortunately. 
But it is still happening!


The dates are Sept 24-25, 2 weeks from yesterday. Nothing really special 
to report, just a regular-old beerconf. Oh, and October 9th would be the 
deadline for submitting a proposal for the online dconf this year, so if 
you want to bounce ideas off of a really smart crowd, this would be the 
place.


Want a stylish beerconf t-shirt? Look here:

## What is beerconf?

Check out the [wiki article](https://wiki.dlang.org/Beerconf).

## Presentations?

As usual, anyone who wants to reserve some time to talk about something, 
let me know. I'll make sure to announce here, and hopefully another host 
will be able to organize!


Cheers! 🍺

Considering I was running polls about giving beef to dogs during 
BeerConf, I'm afraid that it has already passed.


But maybe we can do something impromptu on Discord in like 5 hours if 
people want ;)

Beerconf September 2021

2021-09-11 Thread Steven Schveighoffer via Digitalmars-d-announce

# BEERCONF!

It's that time again, time for a few days of brews and D discussion. 
This month, the last weekend falls on September 25-26.


## What is beerconf?

Check out the [wiki article](https://wiki.dlang.org/Beerconf).

## Calling all presenters

I know all you conference speakers submitted your talks by the September 
5th deadline, right? So why not practice on a live audience! Note that 
last year's Dconf online was done using Jitsi, the platform we use for 
Beerconf, so you can be assured of an authentic experience and lively 
discussion.


Last month, Stefan demonstrated his new core.reflect library, and I 
think we may have had a record number of people tune in.


If you want to reserve some time, drop me an email, ping me on discord 
or slack. Maybe I'll have something to show off too...


## Beerconf shirts

Yes, I have one. You should [get 
one](https://www.zazzle.com/store/dlang_swag/products?cg=196874696466206954). 
2 out of 2 beerconf hosts love our shirts and highly recommend them! 
Though if you live in the EU, pay attention to the import duty, as it 
may justify getting 2 shirts.


See you in a couple weeks! 🍺

Beer thread! Where are the worst beers created? We have some contenders:

I also followed on and said Finnish beers are a shadow of the trash that 
comes out of Australia. Craft brewers in both countries do some good 
stuff though, but anything exported is going to be mass produced junk.


This is beerconf. Get the beer talk right jeez.
