Call for Speakers -- 2014 JVM Language Summit

[Brian Goetz]

=== CALL FOR SPEAKERS -- JVM LANGUAGE SUMMIT, July 2014 ===

Dear colleague;

We are pleased to announce the 2014 JVM Language Summit to be held at 
Oracle's Santa Clara campus on July 28-30, 2014. Registration is now 
open for speaker submissions (presentations and workshops) and will 
remain open until May 16, 2014. There is no registration fee for 
speakers.  General attendee registration will open on May 7.  For Oracle 
employees who wish to register as general attendees, please contact the 
organizers at inquire at jvmlangsummit.com.

The JVM Language Summit is an open technical collaboration among 
language designers, compiler writers, tool builders, runtime engineers, 
and VM architects. We will share our experiences as creators of 
programming languages for the JVM and of the JVM itself. We also welcome 
non-JVM developers on similar technologies to attend or speak on their 
runtime, VM, or language of choice.

The format this year will be similar to previous years; we've divided 
the schedule equally between traditional presentations and "Workshops". 
Workshops are informal, facilitated discussion groups among smaller, 
self-selected participants, and should enable "deeper dives" into the 
subject matter.  If there is interest, there will also be impromptu 
"lightning talks".

We encourage speakers to submit both a presentation and a workshop; we 
will arrange to schedule the presentation before the workshop, so that 
the presentation can spark people's interest and the workshop will allow 
those who are really interested to go deeper into the subject area. 
Workshop facilitators may, but are not expected to, prepare presentation 
materials, but they should come prepared to guide a deep technical 
discussion.

The Summit is being organized by language and JVM engineers; no 
marketers involved! So bring your slide rules and be prepared for some 
seriously geeky discussions.

Speaker registration is now open at:

We hope to see you in July!
