That's great! Darren gave a great talk at this year's SF Erlang Factory.
Thank you so much :D. We <3 Erlang.
Love seeing this. Is there a bigger Erlang community now in DC? I went to a meetup in 2011 and it was like 4 people.
In 2011, we had more than 100 people attend the first edition of the ErlangDC conference.
Since then, we've seen an uptick on the attendance of the monthly meetups which we've been having more regularly: http://www.meetup.com/erlang/. We've been getting between 12 to 20 people attend the meetups.
We are hosting one next week actually in which Jordan Wilberding will be talking about Credit Card processing for mobile apps.
The main goal of the conference is to improve the DC Erlang community. All the money that's left over is used to support the DC meetup group.

Yeah DCTECH!
I know that the price is already much lower than most conferences, but are you planning on having any student discounts? I'd love to go, and this is actually within driving distance!
Organizer here: we offer 25% discount to students. Just email me a picture of your student ID and I will send you a discount code.
Is the bootcamp geared toward complete beginners (and by beginner, I mean someone with a computer science background, able to program in another non-functional language)?
(I'm a co-organizer, w Luc.)
The bootcamp is being taught by "Erlang/OTP in Action" co-author, and ErlangCamp instructor, Eric B. Merritt. It is based on our "Erlang Essentials" material, which we use at ErlangCamp to get ErlangCampers up to speed fast.
In addition, for more experienced Erlanguatans, we are planning hands-on on, technical mini-hacks/workshops to run in parallel to the "Erlang Essentials" bootcamp. More details forthcoming, as they develop, but we aim to make them interesting, informative, and fun.

Yes, the bootcamp is targeted towards people who have experience programming but zero experience with Erlang.
is somebody knows about the agenda?
Agenda has not been published yet. We are still accepting talk proposals.
We're definitely down to fly out and promote one of the coolest languages for performance distributed computing.
