llvm dev - Nov 2019 - Attempting EuroLLVM2020 as a beginner

Hello again LLVM-Mailinglist,

This time I have no technical question however...

Personally I'm a big fan of the LLVM, the concept behind it - as far as I
understood it - and your work in general. I use the LLVM to develop various JIT
applications that load the LLVM bytecode files under Windows - my many many
questions are usually about this subject.

Still after a year I feel like being a noob in that area. This is why I wonder
if attempting the EuroLLVM2020 would help me with that. Of course, I never
attempted such a convention so I have no idea if the talks will be way over my
head, or if there are any activities to pick up beginner?

Thank you again for any help!

Kind greetings
Björn

Hi, Björn,

It is a specific goal of the LLVM Foundation to increase the amount of
educational material at the developers' meetings. At the US meeting this
year, we had more tutorials than ever before, and we want the meetings to be
productive for both experts and novices alike. Moreover, if there are specific
topics on which you would like to see tutorials or other kinds of sessions,
please do let us know. Feedback in this regard (from everybody) is very helpful.

The talks from the previous conferences are online, you could check the
ones from EuroLLVM 2019 to get an idea of the content:

Something that is fairly common in the feedback on the Dev Meeting (as far
as I know) is that one of the main benefit attendees get out of the event
is to network with other people sharing similar interests.
The round-tables, tutorials, and the hallway/lunch/dinner discussions are
really great reasons to attend.

Best,

Hi Hal,

Who would I send those suggestions to which I would like to see - or feedback in
general?

Kind greetings
