We really do need to stop hiding our light under a bushel.  
Thinking in marketing terms doesn't always come easy to 
technically minded people, and I understand why, but ultimately 
the community benefits a great deal from people becoming aware of 
the very real benefits D has to offer (alas people won't just get 
it, even if you think they should), and there are personal career 
benefits too from helping communicate how you have applied D to 
do useful work.  It's hard to find great programmers and showing 
what you can do will pay off over time.
