All developers and users of LLVM and related sub-projects are invited to
present at EuroLLVM'19 <http://www.llvm.org/devmtg/2019-04/>.

We are looking for the following proposals:

   1.

   Technical Talks (30 minutes including Q&A): talks on LLVM core
   libraries, Clang, Infrastructure, and all related sub-projects, on uses of
   LLVM in academia or industry, on new projects using Clang or LLVM


   1.

   Tutorials (60 minutes): in depth talks on LLVM infrastructure or other
   core libraries, with in depth examples and explanations


   1.

   Student Research Competition (25 minutes talk including Q&A + poster):
   The SRC offers students doing LLVM related research a non-academic platform
   to announce and advertise their work as well as to discuss it with other
   researchers, developers and users of LLVM. Students are strongly encouraged
   to present a poster as well, as this will enable wider discussions with the
   audience. There will be a prize for the best SRC talk.
   2.

   Lightning Talks (5 minutes, no questions, no discussions)

Detailed guidance on writing a proposal for the LLVM developers’ meeting

This 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 carefully.

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 (excluding SRC submissions).
   -

   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.
   -

   We suggest you proofread and pay attention to grammar.

   examples are “WebAssembly: Here Be Dragons” or “Beyond Sanitizers: guided
   fuzzing and security hardening”.


Speaker Name(s), Company, Email:

   -

   This should be only the people giving the talk. HotCRP allows you to

   the HotCRP “Contact” field so they are the ones contacted regarding
   conference details.


Abstract:

   -

   1-2 paragraphs. Keep in mind that this is displayed on the schedule and
   website for attendees to consider when selecting talks.

   This will not be published and is intended for the PC to better
   understand how interesting your talk will be to the audience. For example,

   account when evaluating your proposal.
