>    Panels / round tables (30-60 minutes) / Birds of a Feather

> These are all discussion formats. The best format is probably mostly

> For discussions that are expected to attract larger groups, either a BoF

> presentation-like setup, and therefore is expected to have somewhat less
> free-flowing discussion than a round table.
>
> We encourage proposals for a panel format where several experts (and a
> moderator) on a topic get together and have an open discussion in front of
> an audience with prepared questions and also questions from the audience.
> The program committee will be looking for panel proposals and giving favor

> 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 carefully.
>
> If you have never presented at an LLVM Developers’ Meeting, then do not

> 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 are less
>    likely to get accepted. If you have presented this topic before, make it
>    clear what is new and different in your talk.
