[Kipping, David]

Anna suggested that this be forwarded to cfe-dev at cs.uiuc.edu for those who don't follow llvmdev.

Registration for the 2011 LLVM Developer Meeting is now open:

	qcsurvey.qualcomm.com/survey.asp?pub=y&survey_id=7125

The attendance limit has been increased to 225 this year, but with the growing interest in LLVM, registration will likely still fill up quickly; we encourage you to register early.

Subject: [LLVMdev] 2011 LLVM Annual Developers' Meeting - Update

Summary:
- Registration filling up
- Dinner filling up faster
- Feedback from registration on technical program
	- *** Lightning Talks and Posters *** 
	- Topics attendees would like to see sessions on
- Session proposal deadline extended


Details:

--------------- 
Registration:
There are about 100 seats left, after which a wait list will be created on a first come basis.

---------------
Dinner:
Space is limited for dinner, and there are about 40 seats left

---------------
Lightning Talks and Posters:
Several requests have been made to have Posters and Lighting Talks. Lighting Talks are ~5 minute topics which could be an advertisement for a poster later in the day, or just to generate food for thought to be discussed during breaks/BoFs/dinner. Submit your proposals for a lighting talk at
	www.llvm.org/devmtg/talk.php 
Be sure to include "lighting talk" in the description.

Submit a proposal for a poster at 
	www.llvm.org/devmtg/talk.php. 
We expect that some poster authors may be from university or the community, and may need travel assistance. If so apply at www.llvm.org/devmtg/sponsor.php. I will try my best to find sponsorship for interesting research or uses related to LLVM family projects.

If there are enough quality proposals for Lighting Talks and/or Posters, we will add sessions for this year's program.
