XDC 2011 program
Schedule
If you would like to add a talk or change information regarding your talk, please edit the Ideas section below the schedule or contact MichaelLarabel, and it will be added to the schedule or if anything needs to be re-arranged.
11 September (Sunday; ~14.00+): For anyone arriving into Chicago early, on Sunday at around 2:00PM (and will likely be there for several hours thereafter) there will be several X.Org developers meeting up at Snickers (Google Maps, a fairly traditional and decent American "dive bar". The location is quite ideal (located at 448 N State St and one block away from a Red line CTA train), there's several other bars and restaurants within easy walking distance to go after meeting up, a good selection of alcohol with decent prices, friendly bartenders, and we should have nearly the entire bar to ourselves. Several developers may also end up on there on Saturday. If any questions or more info contact MichaelLarabel.

- Wacom BoF (?PeterHutterer)
- Status, where to go from here? (probably not of interest to those not working on wacom)
- LLVM as a requirement for Mesa (?IanRomanick, discussion)
- It's useful for a lot more than generating code for shaders...
- Compiler Stacks (?TomStellard)
- Supporting OpenCL
- Using LLVM as an IR
