The University of Queensland's Centre for Hypersonics has [a

Rowan Gallon, and Kyle Damm wrote a little about it for the D 
Blog.

I thought this was a great example of a sweet spot for D. I had 
similar work in mind way back when, and started writing a Qt 
and VTK (data visualisation) wrapper to work towards this. I'm 
wondering what they used for the visualisation in the blog post.


To confirm, I used the open-source visualization software, 
Paraview (https://www.paraview.org/), to generate the image from 
the blog post.

# BEERCONF!

As was done last year, instead of having beerconf on Christmas, 
we will push it up a week to the 18-19th of December.


Bring your favorite eggnog and/or other beverages, and your 
best singing voice, and we will sing D-themed Christmas carols! 
Or not...


But in any case, we will be there, talking about our favorite 
language, among other things.


## What is beerconf?

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

## Presentations?

As before, we can reserve some time/space for anything you wish 
to present to the crowd, as long as it's D related. Email me or 
ping me on discord or slack.


See you in a couple weeks! 

eggnogconf is best conf

I'm just some random guy but for what it's worth the recorded 
talks at DConf are valuable to me. I don't much care what format 
the conference takes or if we even continue to have them since 
it's not often practical for me to attend anyway, but I would 
miss the talks. It would be cool if the community would put out a 
standalone lecture or two throughout the year between DConfs. 
Please apply lessons learned this time to make sure all the 
lectures eventually make it to YouTube in decent quality. Thanks 
for the work ya'll do.

prime opportunity to try out Kai's.
