I'm hoping we can do a better job this time for everybody. I hope so. The stream recording that was released on the fly was not good. I've remembered having watched the 5 first minutes of B.Schott exposee than finally I've waited the next month when the HQ videos came out. Anyway it was a great initiative and also an opportunity see John C. from near when he tuned the webcam position ... let's see...a bit the right, the axis is good... ^^

I just realized today that a live stream is not going to be enjoyable for us who are still in the US. Any chance that we can have a *scheduled* delay rebroadcast right when it ends? So basically starting at like 11am Eastern time, 8am Pacific. Heck, we might even play it a third time for people on the other side of the world too, but I'm asking for myself so jut the ne is good. I want this coordinated and announced because then we can all be on together and have "live" chat without being up in the middle of the night to be live with the folks in Germany.

The original "Abstract" section read: David Parnas' 1972 seminal paper, "On the criteria to be used in decomposing systems into modules", set a milestone in our collective understanding of how complex programs should be divided into more manageable parts. Over forty years later, I have reimplemented in D the example programs presented in the paper and came away with insights that are not obvious from a more casual reading of that text. In this talk I will 1) present the original insight of the paper, using more modern language; 2) relate it to current design best practices and 3) argue, with the help of my implementation, that D best fulfilled the paper's original vision, even surpassing it. Yes, that looks good. That's what should be on the DConf website.
