This is about how you get started with your own C++ User Group. I've talked about it at Meeting C++ this year, and I am thinking about doing a similar talk at C++Now 2013. This is a personal issue for me, as I'd like to see more User Groups for C++ beeing founded across europe and maybe elsewhere too. So, as in my talk, I would like to give you some ideas, and also a little history on how I got started.

Michael Wong has arrived today, and while I was at the airport welcoming him from Canada, we had a little talk. There is some cool news about OpenMP and the coming C++ Standards, but there is also an Issue, which we were not to happy to talk about. While the C++ Meeting in Portland was ongoing, I got into contacts with Peter Gottschling, one of the members of the german delegation for C++ Standardisation.

Its just a few days left, until the first Meeting C++ Conference kicks off. So, I think its time to write about what you as an attendee can expect. First, the most details are already in the schedule, which you also can download as PDF. We will be about 145 people at the conference!

Even if User Groups have now their own section, I feel their meetings are still kind of news worthy. Together with the User Group Section came the C++ Event Calendar on the page, so you can see other C++ Events too. This is still beta, and will be worked on after next weeks Meeting C++ conference!

I thought this would be a short one, nothing much to tell. Boy was I wrong. In September, the 2nd half brought a lot of traffic to the side, and within one day, there was almost 1/3 of total traffic ever. So, this is the traffic chart for September:

Islands of C++

One thing, I wanted to write about for sometime, is how different the views on C++ are within the C++ community. That even as we have a single standard, still there are parallel worlds using the language very differently. But instead of worlds, I'd like to refer to the term Islands, as we all live in same ocean of C++.

So, August has past, a little news entry about the stats in August. Its not possible to compare the stats by 100%, as I updated the statistic software in mid August, and hence some things are different in the new version. But still visitors and browsers are almost the same.

So, yesterday the official sale for Early Bird Tickets ended. The event always had a tight schedule, so that the Early Bird Sale fell into the holiday season. This is one of the reasons, why we have decided to offer a few more of them.

One month ago we did go public with the plan for this event. It took almost the full month, to finalize the planning with talks, keynote and schedule. In this period we could win 3 Companies to become gold sponsors, and sold our first early bird tickets.

Yes, another posting about a new Sponsor. So Who is it? Its a company which has been known for its commitment to Qt for a long time: KDAB. KDAB already sponsored the QtDevDays, where I met them the first time. They offer Consulting and Training for Qt, also have a few Libraries and Tools for Qt as their own products.
