On the Blog: DLang News for September/October 2021

[Mike Parker]

For those of you who haven't been keeping up, a summary of the 
latest goings on in DLand over the past two months is now up on 
the blog. I've also included a message that's more 
forward-looking.

I'll be putting together a video version this weekend for the 
foundation's YouTube channel that I should be able to publish by 
Sunday.

A big THANK YOU to everyone who has subscribed there already. 
We've surpassed 1000 subscribers! With that milestone and our 
5,400+ total valid watch hours in the past 12 months, we now 
qualify for the YT Partner Program. That means we can start using 
our channel as a low-friction means of raising money for the 
foundation. We'll apply after DConf Online. That's also when I'll 
start publishing the Learning D video tutorials I'd originally 
planned to create a new channel for (which would have been a 
silly thing to do).

I'm also going to start actively looking for people interested in 
creating quality content for a new playlist, content that the 
foundation will pay for. So if you have an idea you'd like to 
turn into a D-centric video, please don't hesitate to let me know.
