D News April-May - DConf '22 BeerConf Has a Sponsor!

[Mike Parker]

If you've been following the Announce forum, then you already 
know about most of the news in my latest D News video covering 
April and May: the releases of D 2.100.0, LDC 1.30.0-beta1, and 
GDC 12.1 (the first GDC release with the D version of the D 
backend), the publication of the DConf '22 schedule, and the 
upcoming deadline for DConf '22 early-bird registration.

One bit of news I hadn't announced anywhere before this video: we 
have a sponsor for the DConf '22 BeerConf! A big thanks to 
Funkwerk for supporting us. Thanks to them, we'll be able to hire 
out space for BeerConf every evening August 1-4. And each night, 
everything you order (drinks and food) will be covered until we 
reach the minimum spending amount.

Symmetry is making the arrangements with a local pub that we've 
picked out. I'll provide the details as soon as I hear from them 
that everything is settled.

Part of the funding for BeerConf is provided by the D Language 
Foundation. If you'd like to buy a round or two, or a few, for 
your fellow D programming language enthusiasts, please leave a 
donation at our Open Collective page:

Or via one of the other options on our donation page:

I'll have the text version of it up on the blog in a day or so.
