10 Years of Meeting C++ - Historical Highlights and the Future of C++
summary
Meeting C++ runs for ten years, grows from C++11-era meetings into a platform with a yearly conference, a miniCpp platform, user‑group maps and a continuous web survey; organizers publish RSS‑reader statistics showing spikes at CppCon and a pandemic attendance drop to roughly one third, run a book and tool fair and a job fair, shift to hybrid with pre‑recordings, track adoption of executors and have a reference implementation on GitHub while cppcast ends.
