The C++ committee met last week in Oxford, UK. The committee is driving hard toward finishing the Committee Draft (CD) of C++0x at the Kona meeting this fall. The CD is then published for comment from the public and ISO member countries. The committee will then have one year to resolve all comments, before voting out the final standard. At that point the standard is done, although ISO takes another year to ratify it. The schedule for upcoming committee meetings looks like this: - July, 2007, Toronto, Canada. - October, 2007, Kona, Hawaii, US. - March, 2008, Redmond, Washington, US. - June/July, 2008, Sophia Antipolis (Nice area), France - October/November, 2008, San Francisco Bay area, US.
