[llvm-dev] Compassionate Coding Speaker at the WiCT Workshop - Register today!

[Tanya Lattner via llvm-dev]

In case there is any confusion about who can attend this event, anyone who is interested in increasing diversity and inclusion within the LLVM community and other compiler communities is encouraged to attend. It is not a women’s only event. The topic is also not just related to diversity and inclusion, but just general good practices to continue making LLVM a great open source community. I would love to see a large number of active developers who are doing code reviews attend this event as I think it might be useful.

Register soon, so we can have accurate numbers for our catering. Thanks!

Please let me know if you have any questions.

This event is open to ALL who are interested in increasing diversity and inclusion within the LLVM community and the field of compilers and tools. We especially hope that those who are active code reviewers in the community, will attend this talk to help guide new reviewers and create review guidelines to maintain a positive and inclusive community for all contributors. You do not need to attend the LLVM Developers’ Meeting to attend this workshop.
