[llvm-dev] PACT-2016 ACM Student Research Competition (SRC)

Tue Jun 7 07:36:37 PDT 2016

Dear Das,

Mehdi is correct; our long-standing policy is that calls for 
papers/posters/participation must have a specific component related to 
LLVM (e.g., a workshop on LLVM) in order to be considered on-topic for 
the LLVM Developer's mailing list.  Calls that do not mention LLVM 
specifically are considered off-topic (for what it's worth, I have mixed 
feelings about this policy, but to date I haven't seen a desire to 
change it from the LLVM community).

If you haven't already, you might try advertising via the SIGPLAN and 
SIGOPS announcements mailing lists.

I will forward this information to our internal systems mailing list at 
the University of Rochester as we certainly want to get the research 
competition advertised.

Regards,

John Criswell
