Hello,



We figured a workflow that allows us to make the source of dconf.org public.

We plan to adapt the design for next year's event, so if you have any 
ideas feel free to take a look.

https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dconf.org


Thanks,

Andrei

So I guess this makes it official that we're going to have a DConf
2014? Pretty cool.

Any ideas where it will be hosted, or where you'd want to host it?

Barring unforeseen circumstances, yes.

We are looking at a couple of companies and universities. (In all 
likelihood the main event will take place in the US.)

By the way I should emphasize one possibly non-obvious aspect. Some 
obvious candidates for hosting DConf 2014 are Sociomantic, Remedy, and 
Facebook. The largest gains a corporate organizer may get from setting 
up such an event (aside from the goodwill) come from the recruiting 
angle: Don mentioned Sociomantic is hiring, I have no doubts Remedy 
would be glad to get some talent (http://remedygames.com/recruit/), and 
I've also mentioned to all at the conference that Facebook is hiring too.

If any participant is considering changing jobs, I compel you to follow 
up with these companies and mention that DConf 2013 gave you the 
impetus. I don't have any official statement on this, but the word on 
the street is that one engineering hire from DConf 2013 would virtually 
guarantee that Facebook will offer to host next year's edition.

It seems like Sociomantic will get at least one :) Funny, but 
idea that they are hiring never came to my mind until this DConf.
