DConf 2013 - what a show!

[Walter Bright]

I just arrived home after 4 days of little sleep and dawn to late night talking 
with fellow D-heads. And the conference was ...


!!AWESOME!!


.. It exceeded my highest hopes. Basically, I had a grand time, and I hope you 
guys did, too. The excitement at the conference was palpable. Anyone needing 
help was deluged with offers, many hatchets got buried (amazing how meeting the 
real person behind an online persona does that!), many new friends made and 
collaborations formed, rvalue references resolved, and lots was learned from the 
variety and depth of the presentations.

I want to shout out to Facebook for hosting and providing smooth and well-oiled 
conference logistics (and great food & gallons of coffee!), Sociomantic's and 
Remedy's and Andrew Edwards' generous sponsorship along with the many other 
kickstarters, without whom this conference would not have been possible.

And, of course, thanks to our speakers who packed 3 days wall to wall with high 
quality talks. Other conferences I've attended tended to fade away the last day, 
but this one ran at full power right to the end. Thanks to our attendees for 
making it worthwhile for the speakers to come. Many of the speakers were first 
timers, and were treated to a most friendly and eager audience.

Yes, the talks were recorded and will be made available online. We hope to get 
some photos up soon, too.

We'll definitely be doing one next year, so start roughing out your 
presentations now!
