Reading is good! Prevents uninformed comments like that...

While Tom liked the idea, he did imply that something like this might happen after BYOND gains more exposure...

We (the BYOND community) are just babbling about possibilities to make a BYONDfest happen a little sooner than later. Once a series of agreeable ideas begin to form, we then start to work with DanTom to make this a reality...
Actually... Dantom is two people, Dan and Tom. Tom (the more active one on the boards) has replied.

woah! thats crazy... I always thought it was Dan, Tom, and dantom.

Geeze I cant believe I never noticed that. DOH!

So is Dantom pronounced

Dan-Tom
or
Dan-tum

?

If you ask Tom, he'll probably tell you Tom-dan. But most people I know say it Dan-tum.

I think it may be some time - at the least a year - before the community and the software matures to a point that DanTom feels comfortable enough to expose it to a larger user-base. As Tom and others mention, bringing BYOND to a Con or large industry-related gathering (Deadron mentioned O'Reilly's efforts in that direction) somewhere is probably the next step in BYOND's growth. Once BYOND starts showing a profit somehow, or increases its popularity significantly, it would be easier for DanTom to offer such a BYONDfest to the community.

Of course that does not prevent us from having one of our own before then... just requires a lot of work, support and coordination. That's why I made the 'BYONDfest 2002? 2003?' thread in an effort to see how much real interest people have in doing a mini BYONDfest within the next year or so...
