If anyone has any questions about this post or the conference, fire away! Last year's first conference was a big success in my opinion. Videos are available at http://juliacon.org/2014/ , although the speakers weren't mic'ed so the sound isn't so great - we'll be fixing that this year.

This looks fantastic! Are there any plans for a European conference?

There's definitely some interest in holding a conference from the community over here – we'll probably have a go at gauging general interest and forming more concrete plans soon.

Not definite plans, but serious thought is being given to having it in Europe next year if all the necessary bits can come together.

Is anyone talking about the future of the module system?

No, I don't think so. I don't think there is much that is going to change with modules in the future, or at least I'm unaware of any open issues about it. What did you have in mind? The hackathon on Wednesday will be a particularly good time to bounce around your ideas, and is free to attend.

Because the current system (http://julia.readthedocs.org/en/latest/manual/modules/) is just sad. It's the one thing that has kept me from fully embracing Julia.

I would love to go if I were any where in the neighborhood. But alas I'm over a thousand miles away.
