Workshop description
We are pleased to announce another gathering of GNU tools developers. The basic format of this meeting will be similar to the previous meetings.
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.
We will meet again at the Lesser Town Campus of Charles University in Prague (Malostranske Namesti 25, Prague, Czech Republic map1, map2). (The same location as of GNU Tools Cauldron 2022, GNU Tools Cauldron 2017, GNU Tools Cauldron 2015 and GNU Tools Cauldron 2012).
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 your proposed topic. We are accepting four types of submissions:
- Prepared presentations: demos, project reports, etc.
- Lightning talks
BoFs: coordination meetings with other developers.
- Tutorials for developers. No user tutorials, please.
Slots are 1 hour long, apart from lightning talks, which are 10 minutes long.
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 .
