llvm dev - Sep 2020 - Round Tables at the LLVM Dev Mtg (Submit by 9/25)

The 2020 Virtual LLVM Developers’ Meeting will include round tables similar to
our in person events. Round tables are informal discussions about a specific
topic (more details below). Please submit your round table topic by September 25
here:
https://forms.gle/BBuwhbGJnQCgaHcg8 <https://forms.gle/BBuwhbGJnQCgaHcg8>

Anyone can submit a round table topic, but you will be required to gather the
names and emails of a group of individuals  (6-8) that you know will also
participate. This is a chance for LLVM Developer’s to get together and talk
about ideas, goals, and brain storm solutions. Examples of past topics include:
GitHub Transition, Infrastructure, Debug Info, JIT, PGO, etc.

There are several challenges with planning a virtual event. First, our
attendance numbers are predicted to be much larger than an in person event. It
is great news that more developers will be able to attend, but it makes having
discussions at a round table a little more challenging. We need to support a
large number of attendees ability to participate and participate in a way that
facilitates a good discussion. A video chat with 10 people is much different
than a video chat with 100.

Therefore, we are planning to host round tables on Zoom. These video meetings
will have a core group of people who organized the round table with their video
on, while the rest of the audience will participate through audio only. We will
officially support 4 round tables per time slot and they need to be arranged in
advance.

For the impromptu round table discussions that we have had in the past, Whova
provides the ability to advertise your own video meeting. We will be providing
instructions on how to do this before the event. It will be up to the round
table organizers to arrange for the video meeting and find suitable software
(Google Meet, Zoom, etc). These will not be on the main agenda but found in the
Community section.

If you have questions, please let me know.

Thanks,
Tanya
