Call for Participation - 2003 GCC Summit

May 25-27, 2003

Ottawa, Ontario, CANADA

General Information

We are pleased to invite you to participate in the GCC Developer's Summit. At this time we are soliciting proposals for technical papers, tutorials, and working group meetings.

The GCC Developers Summit is a developers conference focusing on the technologies in the GNU Compiler Collection, and associated tools and technology. We are looking for representation from all major areas of the collection. The goal is to have two major tracks. One track for developers and those interested in the internals of the GCC Compilers and another for developers who use GCC on a daily basis including those porting, maintaining, and shipping GCC.

All submissions must have a very strong technical bias. Submissions of a marketing or sales nature are not appropriate for this venue.

Presentations

There are several formats of presentation time slot available. There will be 4 rooms available on the 25th for smaller tutorials and working groups. Tutorials and Working groups may be of various lengths. Please give a general indication of how much time you believe you will require when submitting your proposal.

On the 26th and 27th there will be formal 45 minute time slots alloted in two tracks, one for GCC Internals and one for GCC Users.

XGA (1024x768) LCD projectors will be available to display slides from an analog video source for all presentation times on all three days in all rooms. If you require additional AV hardware please specify this at the time you submit your proposal.

Delivery Schedule

Confirmations will be made prior to March 10th, 2003.
