>> each panel member, and follow with an interactive dialogue among the
>> panelists and audience members. Panels should consist of 3-5 people
>> including a moderator.

>> Detailed guidance on writing a proposal for the LLVM Developers’ Meeting
>>
>> Writing a proposal for the LLVM Developers’ Meeting
>>
>> This document is a guide to help you submit the best proposal and
>> increase your chances of your proposal being accepted. The LLVM Developers’
>> Meeting program committee receives more proposals than can be accepted, so
>> please read this guide careful.
>>
>> If you have never presented at an LLVM Developers’ Meeting, then do not
>> fear this process. We are actively looking for new speakers who are excited
>> about LLVM and helping grow the community through these educational talks!
>> You do not need to be a long time developer to submit a proposal.
>>
>> General Guidelines:
>>
>> - It should be clear from your abstract what your topic is, who your
>> targeted audience is, and what are the takeaways for attendees. The program
>> committee gets a lot of proposals and does not have time to read 10 page
>> papers for each submission.
>> - Talks about a use of LLVM (etc) should include details about how
>> LLVM is used and not only be about the resulting application.
>> - Tutorials on “how to use X” in LLVM (or other subproject) are
>> greatly desired and beneficial to many developers. Entry level topics are
>> encouraged as well.
>> - Talks that have been presented at other technical conferences tend
>> to not get accepted. If you have presented this topic before, make it clear
>> what is new and different in your talk.
>>
>>
>>
>> Technical Talk and SRC Talk Proposal Template:

>> and security hardening”.

>> better understand how interesting your talk will be to the audience. For
>> example, if you would prefer not to reveal some conclusions in the

>> into account when evaluating your proposal.
