Do you want the conference sooner? 21 weeks is a while to wait ;-)

I have only experienced one LC conference so far and I found it invaluable as a customer. With any luck I might get to experience it from the other side as I expect it will be just as invaluable from that side too. Getting face to face time between engineers and the people they are engineering for is seldom a waste of time.

What do you mean by nothing else coming?

Have you seen my external templates? https://github.com/montegoulding/livecode-external-templates <https://github.com/montegoulding/livecode-external-templates>
They are for Xcode only at the moment but the plan is to do Visual C++ and Linuxy type things at some point… Maybe even some starter gyp files if we want to get fancy. Contributions are welcome! While LCB is the future there’s probably going to be a while yet where externals are quicker and easier to deliver features with.

Cheers
