> each panel member, and follow with an interactive dialogue among the
> panelists and audience members. Panels should consist of 3-5 people
> including a moderator.

> Detailed guidance on writing a proposal for the LLVM Developers’ Meeting
>
> Writing a proposal for the LLVM Developers’ Meeting
>
> This document is a guide to help you submit the best proposal and increase
> your chances of your proposal being accepted. The LLVM Developers’ Meeting
> program committee receives more proposals than can be accepted, so please
> read this guide careful.
>
> If you have never presented at an LLVM Developers’ Meeting, then do not
> fear this process. We are actively looking for new speakers who are excited
> about LLVM and helping grow the community through these educational talks!
> You do not need to be a long time developer to submit a proposal.
>
> General Guidelines:
>
>    - It should be clear from your abstract what your topic is, who your
>    targeted audience is, and what are the takeaways for attendees. The
program
>    committee gets a lot of proposals and does not have time to read 10 page
>    papers for each submission.
>    - Talks about a use of LLVM (etc) should include details about how
>    LLVM is used and not only be about the resulting application.
>    - Tutorials on “how to use X” in LLVM (or other subproject) are
>    greatly desired and beneficial to many developers. Entry level topics
are
>    encouraged as well.
>    - Talks that have been presented at other technical conferences tend
>    to not get accepted. If you have presented this topic before, make it
clear
>    what is new and different in your talk.
>
>
>
> Technical Talk and SRC Talk  Proposal Template:
>
> Title:
>
>    - This will be displayed on the website, schedule, and signs. Keep it
>    short and catchy to attract attendees to your talks. A couple of
examples
>    are “WebAssembly: Here Be Dragons” or “Beyond Sanitizers: guided fuzzing
>    and security hardening”.
>
>
> Speaker Name(s), Company, Email:
>
>    - This should be only the people giving the talk. EasyChair only
>    allows you to select one speaker in its interface and we need to know if
>    there is more than one. Additional authors can be listed through
EasyChair.
>
>
> Abstract:
>
>    - 1-2 paragraphs. Keep in mind that this is displayed on the schedule
>    and website for attendees to consider when selecting talks.

>
>
> Details:
>
>    - Here you can include more details about your talk. An outline, demo
>    description, background of the speaker, etc. 1-2 paragraphs is
sufficient
>    usually.
>    - This section will not be published and is intended for the PC to
>    better understand how interesting your talk will be to the audience. For
>    example, if you would prefer not to reveal some conclusions in the
>    published abstract, explaining them here ensures that the PC can take
them
>    into account when evaluating your proposal.
