D Conference -- July Update

[Brad Roberts]

(followup-to set to digitalmars.D)

Good news!  I've got a schedule for us.  It's posted on the conference 
website on the speakers page:

	http://d.puremagic.com/conference2007/

I've included the current version of the schedule at the end of this 
email (still subject to slight alterations, though it's fairly solid).

NOTICE:  I've extended the conference to a third day that's totally 
unstructured.  Basically, I've made arrangements for us to be able to 
use the conference rooms on Saturday for whatever we want.  I have a 
feeling there will be people who want to continue talking.  Some had 
asked about time for a code-fest, this is your opportunity.

REMINDER:  We're down to 5 weeks until the conference.  Don't forget to 
book your airline tickets and make hotel reservations soon.

Several of you have asked me who all is going to attend.  For privacy 
reasons, I'm not willing to release a list of names or email addresses, 
but I will say that so far there's been 75 registrations (after weeding 
out a few bogus junk entries).  That includes the speakers but does NOT 
include any amazon employees who might attend.  So, there's going to be 
quite a bunch of us.  If you haven't registered yet, please go to the 
conference website and do so.  I really have to have an accurate list of 
people who are going to attend to have badges made up ahead of time.

See ya there,
Brad
