**Title**: The C++11 Standards Experience\\
**Proposer**: [[2013:alisdair_meredith]]\\
**Type**: Presentation\\
**Duration**: 90 minutes\\
**Description**: 
What is it like to explain exception safety to Herb Sutter?  To tell Bjarne
that he doesn't understand C++?  Or to wrestle with libraries designed for
language features that are years away from implementation?  What are the
downsides to a working week in Hawaii?!\\

Back at an ACCU conference in Oxford, 2003, I noticed that the ISO committee
responsible for C++ was meeting at the same venue, the following week.  As I
lived locally, this seemed like the perfect opportunity to see C++ being made,
live!  I hastily wrote up a proposal based upon the simplest missing library
I could find (so that I had something to show-and-tell) and so began my journey
to C++11.  This session will share observations, anecdotes, and insights from a
decade working on the C++ standard.\\
