How to start LLVM Social in your town
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
Here are several ideas you can take into account when designing your specific
|
||||
LLVM Social.
|
||||
|
||||
Before you start, it is essential to make sure that the meetup is as welcoming
|
||||
as any other event related to LLVM. Therefore you shall follow LLVM's
|
||||
`Code of Conduct <https://llvm.org/docs/CodeOfConduct.html>`_.
|
||||
|
||||
Other than that - your mileage may vary. Please adapt your social to what works
|
||||
best for your specific situation.
|
||||
|
||||
General suggestions
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* We highly recommend that you join the official LLVM meetup organization. In
|
||||
addition to covering the cost of the meetup, all LLVM meetups are advertised
|
||||
together and easily found by potential attendees. Please contact
|
||||
arnaud.degrandmaison@llvm.org for more details.
|
||||
* Beware of cultural differences: what works well in one region may not work in
|
||||
other part of the world.
|
||||
* Do not be alone to organize the meetup. Try to work with a couple other
|
||||
organizers. This is more motivating as an organizer, and this makes the
|
||||
meetup more resilient over time.
|
||||
* Each event can have a different form such as a social event, or
|
||||
a hackathon/workshop, or a 'mini-conference' with one or more talks. You do
|
||||
not have to stick to one format forever.
|
||||
* Whatever format you choose, `LLVM Weekly <http://llvmweekly.org/>`_ is an
|
||||
excellent topic starter: go through the 3-4 recent LLVM Weekly posts and
|
||||
prepare a list of the most interesting/notable news and discuss them with the
|
||||
group.
|
||||
|
||||
Advertisement
|
||||
-------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Try to advertise via similar meetups/user groups
|
||||
* Advertise your meetup on the mailing lists (llvm-dev, cfe-dev, lldb-dev,
|
||||
...). Feel free to post to all of them, or at least to llvm-dev.
|
||||
But as these mailing lists have high traffic and some LLVM developers are not
|
||||
very active on them, you may reach more interested people using the mailing
|
||||
feature from meetup.com.
|
||||
* Advertise the meetup on Twitter and mention
|
||||
`@llvmweekly <http://twitter.com/llvmweekly>`_ and
|
||||
`@llvmorg <http://twitter.com/llvmorg>`_.
|
||||
* Announce the next meetup in advance, and remind in one week or so.
|
||||
|
||||
Tech talks
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
* It’s a great idea to have several talks scheduled for several upcoming
|
||||
meetups to get the ball rolling.
|
||||
* Keep looking for speakers far in advance, ideally you should have 2-3
|
||||
speakers ready in the pipeline.
|
||||
* Try to record the talks if possible. It adds visibility to the meetup and
|
||||
just a good idea in general. Any modern smartphone or tablet should work, but
|
||||
you can also get a camera. Though, it is recommended to get an external
|
||||
microphone for better sound.
|
||||
|
||||
Where to host the meetup?
|
||||
-------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Look around for bars/café with projectors.
|
||||
* Talk to tech companies in the area.
|
||||
* Some co-working spaces provide their facilities for non-profit (i.e., you do
|
||||
not charge attendees any fees) meetups.
|
||||
* Ask nearby universities or university departments.
|
||||
|
||||
How to pick the date?
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
* Make sure you do not clash with the similar meetups in the city (e.g.,
|
||||
C++ user groups).
|
||||
* Prefer not to have a meetup the same week when the other similar meetups
|
||||
happen (e.g., it’s not a good idea to have LLVM meetup on Thursday after
|
||||
C++ meetup on Wednesday).
|
||||
* Meetups on weekends may attract people who live far away from the city,
|
||||
but the people who live in the city may not attend.
|
||||
* Make a poll, but beware that not every responder will join (we had ~20 votes
|
||||
on the poll, while only ~8 people attended).

Besides developer `meetings and conferences <https://llvm.org/devmtg/>`_,
|
||||
there are several user groups called
|
||||
`LLVM Socials <https://www.meetup.com/pro/llvm/>`_. We greatly encourage you to
|
||||
join one in your city. Or start a new one if there is none:
