[lldb-dev] New Dates for 2020 Virtual LLVM Dev Mtg

[Tanya Lattner via lldb-dev]

In order to not conflict with the Grace Hopper Conference, which has now gone 
virtual and is occurring the whole last week of September, we are moving the 
2020 Virtual LLVM Developer’s Conference to October 6-8. The conference will 
span 3 days and the exact times are still being determined.

Thanks,

[lldb-dev] 2020 Virtual LLVM Developers' Meeting - Call for presentations!

[Tanya Lattner via lldb-dev]

All developers and users of LLVM and related sub-projects are invited to 
present at the first virtual 2020 LLVM Developers’ Meeting 
!

We are looking for the following proposals:
Technical Talks (25-30 minutes including Q&A):
Talks on:
LLVM Infrastructure,Clang and all related sub-projects
On uses of LLVM in academia or industry
On new projects using Clang or LLVM
Tutorials (60 minutes)
In depth talks on LLVM infrastructure or other core libraries, tools, etc. 
Demos encouraged.
Student Research Competition Technical Talks & Poster (20-25 minutes including 
Q&A)
Talks from students using LLVM, Clang, and all sub-projects in research.
The audience usually votes on a winner.
Lightning Talks (5 minutes, no questions, no discussions)
Quick talks about a use or improvement of LLVM and other sub-projects.
Birds of a Feather 
 (30 minutes)
Historically these are informal and ad-hoc, but at our meeting they are 
prepared in advance and are guided discussions (usually with a slide deck) 
about a specific topic. For informal and ad-hoc, please consider a Round Table 
(details to come). 
Panels (30-60 minutes)
Panels may discuss any topic as long as it’s relevant to LLVM or related 
sub-projects. Panels can take many forms, but a common format is to begin with 
short introductions from each panel member, and follow with an interactive 
dialogue among the panelists and audience members. Panels should consist of at 
least 3 people and have a moderator.
Posters (1 hour session)
Posters presenting work using LLVM and related subprojects. Poster presenters 
will answer questions from attendees and give mini presentations. 

As this conference is virtual and our very first, we are still working out the 
numerous details. The length of the talk types below are subject to change, but 
the above gives you an idea of what we expect. The majority of the talks will 
be pre-recorded except for panels, birds of a feather, posters, and possibly 
lightning talks.  In addition, we will be requiring most speakers to 
participate in some form of live Q&A. Time zones are a huge challenge with a 
virtual conference and we will do our best to be reasonable in our 
expectations. 

The timeframe for submission is also much tighter due to allowing time for 
speakers to record and us to process videos. We apologize for the 
inconvenience. 

Submission Requirements:
The submission deadline is July 15, 2020 at 11:59PM PDT.

Please submit your proposal here:
LLVM2020 Submissions 
For each proposal, please submit a title, short abstract, submission type, 
abstract for the website, include who the speakers or panel member/moderators 
are, and provide a more detailed description of the talk through an extended 
PDF abstract. We highly recommend you consult and follow the guide at the end 
of this CFP when submitting your proposal.

FAQ

When will I be notified of acceptance?

Our goal is to notify all submissions by July 31, 2020.

When is the conference?

In order to not conflict with another large virtual conference, we have moved 
the 2020 LLVM Developers’ Meeting to October 6-8. The exact times of the 
conference are still under discussion.

Should I register if I have submitted a proposal?

Given this is a virtual conference and we have less space restrictions and a 
different fee structure, you can register at any time before the registration 
deadline. We will be providing details on registration in July. 

When will the recordings be due?

Recordings should be completed by September 14.

Will I be required to have a video camera?

We do not want the lack of recording equipment to prevent submissions and will 
be sorting out options to help those without recording equipment available. 
Please stay tuned for details. 

When will my live Q&A be?

As the conference is virtual, our attendees and speakers will be in many 
different time zones. We won’t know the program until closer to the event and 
then we can start to form a schedule. Our schedule will attempt to meet the 
needs of many time zones, but will not be a perfect solution. You may be asked 
to give a live Q&A early in the morning, late at night, or multiple times. 

Who is on the program committee?

The program committee is composed of active developers of the LLVM, Clang, and 
related sub-communities. The website will be updated with the list of the 
program committee members.

I have a question, who do I contact?

Please email the LLVM Dev Mtg Organizers (devmtg-organiz...@lists.llvm.org 
), or the LLVM Developers’ Meeting 
mailing list. http://lists.llvm.org/mailman/listinfo/llvm-devmeeting
