Herb Sutter, the Convenor of the ISO C++ Standards Committee, will be making some announcements tomorrow likely to be of interest to C++ developers in general and Boosters in particular. The venue is a talk titled "The Future of C++" at the Microsoft Build Conference.
Wasn't that the title that was decided for the 2012 BoostCon variant during the shadowy seance? I wish I could have gone... 2011 was a blast! Used up all my vaca days hiking, etc... Doh!
While some of Herb's announcements will be specific to Microsoft, the key C++ initiatives involve Boost and the whole C++ community. Some of the ideas evolved from feedback Herb got at C++Now/BoostCon 2012 last May.
I'll post a summary of the announcements tomorrow, but you can also watch the live stream at http://channel9.msdn.com at 12:45 PM Pacific time. For other time zones, see http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?iso=20121102T1945
Thanks Beman! Always good to know! These lists are absolutely my C++ news feed! Greg
