Workshop description

We are pleased to announce another gathering of GNU tools developers. The basic format of this meeting will be similar to the last one at Charles University in Prague (http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/cauldron2012).

The purpose of this workshop is to gather all GNU tools developers, discuss current/future work, coordinate efforts, exchange reports on ongoing efforts, discuss development plans for the next 12 months, developer tutorials and any other related discussions.

This time we will meet at Google Headquarters in Mountain View, California from 12/Jul/2013 to 14/Jul/2013.

We are inviting every developer working in the GNU toolchain: GCC, GDB, binutils, runtimes, etc. In addition to discussion topics selected at the conference, we are looking for advance submissions.

If you have a topic that you would like to present, please submit an abstract describing what you plan to present. We are accepting three types of submissions:

• Prepared presentations: demos, project reports, etc.

• BoFs: coordination meetings with other developers.

• Tutorials for developers. No user tutorials, please.

Note that we will not be doing in-depth reviews of the presentations. Mainly we are looking for applicability and to decide scheduling. There will be time at the conference to add other topics of discussion, similarly to what we did at the previous meetings.

To register your abstract, send e-mail to tools-cauldron-admin@googlegroups.com.

Your submission should contain the following information:

• Title:
• Authors:
