C ++ User Group, meeting in Nizhny Novgorod

Hello.

Last Saturday - April 19, the next meeting of the C ++ User Group took place. This time we met in Nizhny Novgorod.
82 people came to the meeting, and the participants were not only from Nizhny Novgorod: St. Petersburg, Moscow, Ryazan, Saratov, Cheboksary, Yekaterinburg, Veliky Novgorod. It scares me a little that I registered, but the participant from Irkutsk did not come. I hope all is well with him.

Briefly about the meeting

In March, I wrote to several companies from Nizhny that are developing in C ++. He offered to help organize the meeting, but not one of them answered me. It seems strange to me, especially since programmers came to the meeting, including from these companies. Anyway.

The meeting was held in the premises provided by the UNN. There were no speakers in the audience, so it was sometimes difficult to listen to the speakers. Judging by the reviews, this was one of the biggest drawbacks of the meeting. Well, we will try to make sure that the next time this does not happen.

Six reports were presented at the meeting.
1. Denis Kormalev, Qt. How to survive in a minefield. Tips sapper.
2. Evgeny Krutko,Experience in implementing parallel computing technologies to increase the performance of numerical calculations.
3. Dmitry Prokoptsev, R-links in C ++ 11.
4. Alexey Kukanov, Concurrency in C ++: control the application, not the threads.
5. Stepan Koltsov, Mutexes and effective message passing.
6. Anton Potapov, C ++ containers and multithreading: together or separately?

I tried to conduct a twitter broadcast using the #cpp and #nnov tags, however, this was very distracting. Later I will try to collect from them a full report on the meeting.

Some news.

I finally raised WordPress at meetingcpp.ru and now all announcements will be posted there. There is RSS import, I think this is enough. The reports are posted on the site, the video will be later (I hope this week).

Previously, I did not consider registration for the event important enough, but now I have changed my mind and registration will be mandatory for all subsequent events. First of all, this was done in order to make it easier to attract companies to cooperation: we can say for sure how many participants were at past meetings. In addition, as the number of participants grows, it’s more and more interesting to track their geography. Plus, I hope there will be fewer questions about the price of participation.

The comments on the last post raised the issue of choosing topics of interest to the community. I am still opposed to the community choosing from the reports provided, however, I will ask you to help determine the topics (the survey is attached).

Thanks to UNN, Yandex and Intel for their help! Without their support, this meeting would not have happened. Thanks to the speakers for not being too lazy to come and share knowledge on a sunny spring Saturday. Thanks to those who support tips and feedback. Thanks to everyone who came!
