I've been thinking that D needs more globally-available talks 
like this throughout the year.  One way to do it would be to 
schedule monthly livestreams of a D developer in front of his 
webcam, like the Jai programming language guy was doing.  I could 
help organize something like this, but the problem isn't getting 
it up and running but having people actually give talks.  I can't 
even get people to answer my emails for email interviews about D 
(with the exception of Mihails, who's been very prompt).

No doubt everybody is very busy and D is a hobby that's easily 
pushed aside, but online talks could keep the conference momentum 
going throughout the year.
