Separate to Vim, this concept should become more popular. Real world conferences have their place, for sure, but some topics are avoided as they probably wouldn't break even, and seeing more things like this would be great.

In fact, that's one of the reasons I'm working on building CastingCode.tv ( http://castingcode.tv ) as a platform to serve both ad-hoc and organized live coding events to the web. :)

Are you the same creator as vimconf? The sites look alike and so did the emails (subject atleast, did not open). Are you the submitter of this? Why two different usernames if so. And why promote them both??

I am indeed the same person behind both CastingCode.tv and VimConf. However, I did not submit this VimConf article to HN. That was done by somebody else and I had no idea it was being submitted, so it took me by surprise.

I know this is off topic but would you mind sharing how you created a special link that can be passed to earn credit? Are there plugins/gems for something like this or was this made from scratch?

joey built the landing page with http://kickofflabs.com - it handles all of that stuff automatically. highly recommended if you want to put together a landing page and get sign ups / interest in your idea

Nice one, Joey. We'll have to discuss this at Ruby DCamp!

Signed up. Id like to use vim since i like the concept but it seems so damn hard to get into. The post yesterday "learn vim progressively" was interesting though. Not sure i know what it is though. I really like VS debugger and programming in C#, C++ (both with VS). So, what exactly will i give up if i switch to vim?

I was in your position a month or so ago, I've been working through Derek Wyatt's videos and have found them very helpful: http://www.derekwyatt.org/vim/vim-tutorial-videos/vim-novice...
