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.<div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Register soon, so we can have accurate numbers for our catering.
