-<p>Dear LLVM user,</p>
-<p>We are proud to announce the second European LLVM event on April 12-13 2012 in London, UK, starting at noon on April 12th .
-This will be a full one-day conference with the intention and aim of exposing new developments and supporting and strengthening the network of LLVM developers around Europe. The format will resemble that of the previous meeting held in London in September 2011 but with more time for presentations and networking. The meeting is open to anyone from corporate to academia, professionals to enthusiasts, and is not in any way limited to those from Europe - people from other regions are welcome.</p>
-
-<h4>Format</h4>
-
-<p>We intend the conference to consist of one full day of presentations and BoFs running from noon to noon (12pm Thursday - 12pm Friday), followed by optional workshops on Friday afternoon to cover broader technical areas and help familiarise attendees with LLVM internals and use cases.</p>
-
-<p>This format depends on receiving sufficient presentation and workshop proposals.</p>
-
-<h4>Call for Speakers, Posters, Demos</h4>
-
-<p>We invite academic, industrial and hobbyist speakers to present their work on developing or using LLVM and Clang. We invite abstracts for technical presentations, posters, workshops, demonstrations and BoFs relating to LLVM/Clang development and use. Material will be chosen to cover a broad spectrum of themes and topics at various depths, some technical deep-diving, some surface-scratching.</p>
-
-<p>We are looking for:
-<ul>
-<li>Keynote speakers.</li>
-<li>Technical presentations (30 minutes plus questions and discussion) relation to LLVM and Clang.</li>
-<li>Presentations relating to academic or commercial use of LLVM and Clang.</li>
-<li>Workshops and in-depth tutorials (1-2 hours - please specify in your abstract).</li>
-</ul>
-</p>
-
-<p>The deadline for receiving an extended abstract is February 10th, 2012. Speakers will be notified of acceptance or rejection before February 24th. The final submission deadline is March 30th. Slides and posters must be in PDF format.</p>
-
-<p>Please note that presentation materials and videos for the technical sessions will be posted on llvm.org after the conference.</p>
-
-<h4>Organisation</h4>
-
-<p>We'll be discussing the organisation of the event on the main LLVM mailing list (llvmdev at cs.uiuc.edu), and we welcome suggestions and help.</p>
-
-<h4>Registration</h4>
-
-<p>Registration is now open and is via email (Euro-LLVM at arm.com), on a first-come-first-served basis, free of charge.  Please send your details (name, email, company/institution) and we'll publish this on the official LLVM website (unless requested otherwise). Attendance will be limited to about 100 people.</p>
-
-<p>A dinner will be provided on Thursday evening - this will also be free of charge. Please include whether you'll be attending the dinner in your registration email. The venue is a hotel and we will make some rooms available at a discounted price at <a href="https://hotelres.vbookings.co.uk/b/armeullvm/">https://hotelres.vbookings.co.uk/b/armeullvm/</a>.</p>
-
-<h4>Financial Support</h4>
-
-<p>There may be a possibility of limited funding to help students or contributors who could not otherwise attend the conference.  This will depend on overall sponsorship and companies' interest in supporting the event. Those who are funded will be required to present something at the meeting  (a poster, chair a BoF, a lightning talk, a full presentation...) and may have other obligations to the sponsor (e.g. writing a blog post or a trip report).</p>
-
-<p>If you need funding to attend the meeting, or can help sponsor, please tell us in your registration email (to Euro-LLVM at arm.com).</p>

-<h4>About LLVM</h4>
+<h3>Schedule</h3>
 
-<p>The Low-Level Virtual Machine (LLVM) is a collection of libraries and tools that make it easy to build compilers, optimizers, Just-In-Time  code generators, and many other compiler-related programs. LLVM uses a  single, language-independent virtual instruction set both as an offline code representation (to communicate code between compiler  phases and to run-time systems) and as the compiler internal  representation (to analyse and transform programs). This persistent  code representation allows a common set of sophisticated compiler  techniques to be applied at compile-time, link-time, install-time, run- time, or "idle-time" (between program runs).</p>
+The schedule is now available <a href="schedule.pdf">here</a>.
 
-<p>The strengths of the LLVM infrastructure are its extremely simple  design (which makes it easy to understand and use), source-language  independence, powerful mid-level optimizer, automated compiler  debugging support, extensibility, and its stability and reliability.  LLVM is currently being used to host a wide variety of academic research projects and commercial projects.</p>

+<p>Hi,</p>
+ 
+<p>The first EU LLVM conference is tomorrow! You're receiving this email because you're registered – if you’re no longer interested in coming please reply back ASAP as we have a waiting list!</p>
+ 
+<p>Ideally you should all know this already but the event is being held at the Hotel Russell, Russell Square, London WC1B 5BE. From the Russell Square tube station, exit the station turning left, then turn left again and the hotel is immediately on your left (turn 270 degrees counterclockwise whilst walking forwards...)</p>
+ 
+<p>The event will be on the ground floor towards the left as you come in the main door, but there should be signage.</p>
+ 
+<p>Please note, we have a slot available for an impromptu BoF or extra lightning talks - this will be announced at the introduction and anyone is welcome to suggest a topic. We also have plenty of available slots for lightning talks still (we only have 2 so far!) so if you have something prepared or need a soapbox for your (targetted, to-the-point) rant, please let one of the organisers know when you turn up :)</p>
+ 
+<p>Event registration begins at 12:00 noon. There will be a buffet lunch served from 12:30, followed by the conference opening at 13:30. The schedule is attached.</p>
+ 
+<p>The main presentations end at 12:45 on Friday, after which (and after lunch) there will be optional workshops. We’ll be asking you when you sign up to register for these, in order to give their organisers some sort of heads-up as to expected numbers. You are by no means pinned down to either attending or not attending based on this! :) David Chisnall's workshop is expected to be longer than Anton's, so if you wish to attend that the expected finishing time is 15:30 ± <i>delta-t</i></p>
+ 
+<p>We'll be handing out feedback forms at opportune moments throughout the conference - these contain ratings for each individual presentation as well as aspects of the event itself - please fill these in, they are invaluable for producing a quality event next year. Please also don't pull any punches - This is the first event on this scale we have put on, so for sure there will be areas where we will be lacking.</p>
+ 
+<p>There will be complementary wireless available for the 24h period from 12:00 noon Thursday to 12:00 noon Friday. More information about this will be provided on registration. Note that if you are staying at the hotel overnight, the wireless coverage does not extend upstairs - you will have wired Ethernet access in your room. Plenty of power sockets should be supplied throughout the main meeting room.</p>
+ 
+<p>If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll also be the slightly flustered looking bloke in the ARM t-shirt tomorrow.</p>
+ 
+<p>See you all tomorrow!</p>
+ 
+<p>Cheers,</p>
+ 
+<p>James</p>
